Update: This appears to be a bug that affects all Stack Overflow users whose accounts are less than two years old. The FAQ is not to blame. Original question follows.
The list of all badges with full descriptions says (emphasis mine):
Yearling
- silver; awarded multiple times
- Have
reputation ≥ (number of years as an active user) × 200
- The script that awards this badge only runs on the anniversary of you joining the site
- [...]
Alas, that day (October 2nd) has come and gone, still no Yearling badge manifested on my Stack Overflow profile, although I do have the 200 rep required to unlock it.
Does the award script actually run at times other than the one mentioned in the FAQ (like the first day of every month, for instance)? Or is this a bug?
