I noticed a few users who had over 200 reputation and had been in the system for over a year but did not have the yearling badge. It seems like given the criteria, they should have the badge. They day I hit a year, I got the badge immediately.
To investigate this more, I wrote a query (available here) to see how many users fell into this category. I compensated for the data delay and looked for users over a year and about a month.
Why are there so many people with over 200 reputation and over a year on the system who do not have the Yearling badge?
