  • Are you including tag badges? Plenty of gold tag badges only awarded once

Here you go. I have created a query in Data.SE to find this:


SELECT Name
  ,CASE Class WHEN 1 THEN 'Gold' WHEN 2 THEN 'Silver' ELSE 'Bronze' END AS Class
  ,COUNT(ID) AS Total_Awarded
 FROM Badges
 WHERE TagBased = 0
 GROUP BY Name,Class
 ORDER BY COUNT(ID);

I have excluded tag badges. And according to it Sheriff is the rarest badge which is awarded to users who have served as an elected moderator for at least 1 year.
