Badge Questions

1. How does one get the champion and exterminator badges?

2. I logged in for 5 days in a row, but I didn't get a badge. What am I doing wrong? (sometimes I log in at 1 A.M.  And I don't know if the forums operate on a different clock, or if I have to log in 24 hours after my last log in.)

1a)  The Champion badge is for reaching the rank of Champion, which is manually granted by EA to people the community managers find especially helpful over some period of time.  If you're curious, here's more information about the program:

1b)  The exterminator badge has to do with reporting a bug, although there's more to it.  I'm actually not sure what the precise requirements are, since I don't have it.

2)  I think you need to login once a day, not necessarily less than 24 hours later.  I also think that some days don't get counted for whatever reason—mine tended to trigger late.

Don't worry about badges though; they don't really mean anything.  If you like participating here, then that's reason enough to stick around.

@puzzlezaddict Thanks! The badge popped when I logged in today.
