Abnegation- you have two Drama Queen emblems and two SHUT UP emblems. I don't think that's really possible (but there are rare exceptions, such as HotY)

How do you mean it's not possible? In any case, an emblem can be given as many times as one might desire, it's up to the recipient as to whether they keep it or not. They were all issued for different reasons and by different people. Emblems aren't anything serious which has been reiterated time and time again within the thread. Foe example, the fact that I have 2 "SHUT UP" emblems just shows that more than one staff member noticed that I have a tendency to write long posts at times.

Again, it's nothing serious, I just like to keep them because to me, each emblem holds a particular memory.

um.. i dont know if this is the place for emblem suggestions, but what about emblems for completing game playthrough challenges? maybe the Mod on the challenges board could verify if a challenge is complete and award a player when hs/she completes it.

I was thinking about this, but not after every challenge. Maybe like...when 50 or 100 challenges are completed, but not after every single one. But keeping verifications on completed challenges would be kinda difficult.

HaloSonic August 18th, 2010 9:39 AM

umm.. 50 challenges seems a bit much, especially since there really hasnt been that many additions in challenge variations. although, to be fair, the would need to be a way to keep track of someone when they complete a challenge, maybe award them after 10 or 20 challenges. also, some challenge are of differning degrees, some require only a partial playthrough, while some would need to play the game fully (and in the case of Johto games, play the length of 2 games), and a grading system for difficulty would also need to be implemented. maybe if someone passes 100 points in this system, maybe they could get an emblem.

Astinus August 18th, 2010 12:18 PM

Yes, so long as it's been three years since your join date, you can get the Veterans Emblem.

btw, enjoy yours. Posting just so there's no double emblems handed out.

Meadow August 19th, 2010 2:42 PM

Oh, dang, I forgot about the Veteran emblem. I've been here for a while over three years. Can I get mine please?

Edit: That was fast! Thanks!

You'll get your emblem once all of them have been uploaded which will be closer to the end to the Get-Together, this includes the gaming events. From there you can expect your emblem, so don't worry, you'll get it once they're all uploaded in bulk.

Ok, cheers Gav.

Just when ever you get around to it. Second year running. I do like.

Poeman August 20th, 2010 9:58 AM

Answer got before I asked the question, I was wondering when I would get my emblem for gaming night 1 :X
Well thanks for the info!

Mew~ August 20th, 2010 10:50 AM

Can I get any emblems? XD
I don't think I can get any other the ones on the first page though! XD

Bloo August 20th, 2010 12:21 PM

I would add an emblem for having a certain amount of posts. And maybe a bonus for in a certain amount of time e.g 100 posts in a month

NotchedEarPichu August 20th, 2010 12:41 PM

Can i request an emblem for being paired with someone for a year??

Nope, you ask for any other emblems except for the ones on the first page. The other ones are given out with secret requirements in mind, and if you get told how to get those emblems, then everyone would know. And where's the fun in that, né?

Personally, I'm against the idea because it could lead to members spamming to get the emblem. While it is possible to make 100 good non-spam posts a month, still... I'm not liking this idea. And it would be difficult to keep an eye on all those that would deserve this emblem.

Just let me find proof, and it's on your way.

Heart's Soul August 20th, 2010 5:40 PM

I highly doubt any spammer will try to get 5000 posts without getting permabanned first.

Hiidoran August 20th, 2010 7:02 PM

You'd be surprised.

We obviously can't be overly obsessive over people who simply post-farm, as there would be far too many people to reprimand. Even so, we can cut down on it by not encouraging it. An emblem would pretty much give everyone the green light to create pointless posts and threads.

Logiedan August 20th, 2010 8:10 PM

It'll give the mods a tough time because they'll have to be deleting all of those useless posts. I don't think having an emblem for a high post count would be that necessary like how the Celebrations sub-forums disallows 'Congratulations on 1000 posts!' kind of threads.

Um...why 5000 posts as a goal? Yes, that's when a member receives a blog, but if a spammer isn't noticed by the time they reach 5000 posts, I'd seriously start to wonder.

Besides, BlooMilk C.'s example was for someone to receive an emblem for making 100 posts a month. While that's not difficult to do (it's around four posts a day), staff doesn't want to encourage anyone in any way to make borderline-spam posts. Better to not encourage it than to do so and create more work.

And Logiedan has a point. We don't celebrate post count now, aside from blogs. Why change it?

Spinor August 21st, 2010 4:14 PM

I want to say something. I don't really think that an emblem like this would just encourage negative spammy posts.

But, hasn't anyone thought that it can also encourage mature, constructive posts in the forum under the correct constraints?

5,000 posts for a blog is a lot. It requires the normal member to be part of the community for a good while and to make all those posts. They are also under the constraint that if they are spammy along that way, they will never get there because of infractions, eventual depression in social view, and bans. Not everyone is exactly a total idiot.
