Your once in a life time opportunity, getting the Beta badge for “Drones and Model Aircraft”. It is no longer obtainable after the private beta ends.

It’s requirements are:

Voted 10 times, added 3 posts score > 0, and visited the site on 3 separate days during the private beta.

Hope to see a lot of these awarded!

The Beta Badge will be awarded soon after the private beta comes to an end. All those who qualify will receive this badge at the same time. I guess it is the way the system is set up.

Here is an example of what I mean.

I'm sure a lot of us have already met the requirements, but the badge doesn't seem to have been awarded yet for anyone: https://drones.stackexchange.com/help/badges/30/beta

Could it be a bug?

  • $\begingroup$ I see! It's a bit odd that all the other badges are already awarded and this one has to wait until public beta. But no big deal I suppose. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ It all has to do when a given badge script runs... I guess since the beta badge is only offered for participants during private beta, there's no point in running it all the time... I guess rather than injecting code to check whether a given site is public or private beta or graduated, it's a fairly manual process. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Also, it's worth mentioning that back when the badge was first created, the criteria to earn it were undisclosed, so this prevented people from figuring out what they were easily. However, at a later point, they were publicly disclosed. $\endgroup$
