New Badge Available: Adventurer

[JesseCloutier]

Following our early July announcement about the gradual release of new account badges, Esri Community has just introduced the fourth exciting badge in an unfolding lineup.

Our newest badge, titled Adventurer, is reserved for those members who, through generous deeds and numerous exploits, have built themselves a reputation wreathed in the admiration of their peers. Heedless of life’s turbulence, these members boldly plunge into conversations—eager to offer insights gleaned throughout their travels or to lend a helping hand where needed.

October's new badge: Adventurer

Members whose accounts meet the following minimum criteria are eligible to receive this badge:

Must have—

• Posted 250 Replies
• Posted 250 Accepted Solutions
• Received 250 Kudos

When cries for help pierce the air and you spot someone who’s sinking under a GIS challenge beyond what they can hand, striking out into those frothing waters to extend aid is the path to earning the Adventurer badge. Build others up through the legacy of your own experience and share fearlessly!

A big congratulations to our 24 pre-qualified members, who will find that they’ve been awarded the Adventurer badge when next logging in:

@JesseCloutier - Hah!  The heights to which a "hold my beer!" approach will take me 😃.

And people say nothing good ever follows the phrase "hold my beer!" Keep proving 'em wrong, @TimMinter! 😉

Are there hidden requirements for badges? You specify these requirements:

Must have—

• Posted 100 Replies
• Posted 50 Accepted Solutions
• Received 100 Kudos

Whereas, I (and I would assume some others) theoretically have the minimum. E.g.,:

Tagging @JesseCloutier

@abureaux, you've spotted an error on our part. There are no hidden requirements for this badge; however, the initial requirements listed in the article and on the badge description itself did not accurately match the real requirements. We've just updated both locations to reflect the actual requirements, which are: 250 replies, 250 accepted solutions, and 250 Kudos received. Those individuals tagged in the article as having met the criteria for the badge have surpassed those actual requirements, so the initial recognition given still stands. We're so sorry for the mistake and appreciate your having helped identify it!

[abureaux]

This makes more sense. Thank you for the correction.

I need to get busy with solutions!

[JesseCloutier]

You're more than welcome, @abureaux. Your motivation is inspiring!
