Last week you could get a Silver badge with a RAC in the high 5k, now you need mid 7k. Did I miss the memo? Badges smadges. Ya want a beef about badges? You realize how little it takes to get the same badge I have at over 200k RAC? Which used to be over 500k in the old days. Or 130k before the current Aerecibo party. It belittles how much I do. So, no, I am not a fan of the badge thingy. They do not signify much to me. Give them out by all time crunching totals, and I might pay attention a bit. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting."

Since the number of users and their participation is variable there will never be a fixed value for the % badges.

As far as I'm aware badges are based on total contribution not RAC. No, it's RAC. I'm often going from no badge, to now a silver badge, and in a week or so if I continue to crunch like this a gold badge, all depending on how much I crunch. When I only run my tablet for a while, my badge quickly goes down to silver, and then bronze, and then disappear totally. For example, this guy has a bronze badge with only Total credit 549,922, but a RAC of 1,195.67: https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/show_user.php?userid=10259455 And this guy with a Total credit 7,327,754, but a RAC of 1,039.18, doesn't have any badge at all: https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/show_user.php?userid=149109 Viewing Top participants by total credit will currently show similar information. With some users without and a mix a gold and silver badges. Alto worth noting in that sometimes the script that updates the RAC badges doesn't run or gets stuck. So if you are near a transition from one to the other your badge may not update until someone pokes the script.
