They do.

It appears that ediemac1 was elevated to Gold temporarily via the Taste of Gold promotion, but since s/he failed to qualify then was dropped back to Silver. Temporary elevations as a result of challenges and/or Taste of Gold type promos, are just that temporary and are not extended to the end of the membership period unless one meets the qualification of the promo or challenge.
