When you registered on EX you were given a registration date. Not having been around when Ning was a thing I don’t know if you automatically got a community account or if it was created when you first logged on to the community. Then in November of 2009 the ning community was migrated to ELGG. It appears that most people who were migrated back then got a join date on ELGG of November 4th, including myself. Fast forward to January 2017. We migrated every member from ELGG who had some something into Jive. Anyone who had registered but hadn’t done anything in ELGG wasn’t migrated. When you first logged on to Jive you got a registered date which is the first date you logged in after the move. For the people who are new their join date and their member since date will be the same thing. You don’t get a Jive account until you accept the terms the first time. So you could potentially join EX and then participate in the community years later.
To to answer your question the Join Date, Member since date etc are not dates that you or I can change. They are system times and not are editable. Should there be a way to do so in the future, we might consider it. For now the points are definitely and indication of the sweat equity you have contributed. It shouldn’t go unnoticed even if the time isn’t exact. We do have your correct date you joined EX, no worries, the community join date is just inaccurate for some and member since is just the day you first got to Jive.
