5/5 Badge

When I asked a question on Stack Overflow Meta I was told to just wait when things like this happen. I am happy to, but is this the best process?

Clicking on the next badge 'loading bar' tells you what's wrong.

"maintain a positive question record" - that criterion is not met. I see lots of zeros, and negative votes, and a few deletions.

So. Ask more good questions, which people upvote, and you'll get that badge

    I checked it for you. According to your profile, that's why you don't have the badge.

    My guess would be it takes deleted questions into account, and even without those, your zero and negative vote questions outnumber the positive vote ones.

    You might have forgotten. I see a few that are self deleted, and one that was not. They do exist tho.

    Postive record is defined as (total questions - negative questions - closed - deleted)/total questions >= 0.5 so includes closed and delete questions.

    Correction: You have 5 well received questions (score >1). However, 2 of them were posted on the same day (March 27). The badge criteria is on 5 separate days.
