Suggestion - Awards

[ArmedCitizen]

Haha, The Helperest Medal. Lol that actually made me bust out laughing. Not many things do that.

Cool idea, I guess. But I think if I were to win a graphics (seems to be the only place I go lately) contest, a compliment from Whitesock or someone else of his caliber would be better.

I think medals are a good idea it gives a higher level than rep, they should be things for most post spell contest ect congrats to the helper for his first medal

yea, but can you show off a compliment from them?

The best idea for a picture of an award in the Graphics zone would probably a section of the winning peice shrinked down and displayed. Though its not practical and would be hard to make out.

Oh and The Helper Member or the Month is hillarious! Wolud be funny

 

[DM Cross]

Uh. No. This ain't a popularity contest

 

[The Helper]

Please don't read anything into my medal besides hey we have awards now, there is where the graphic goes and look it can have some text. I am not going to keep that on my profile.

 

[ArmedCitizen]

I'm not much for bragging.

I am not going to keep that on my profile.

You should, man, it is awesome.

Somehow, I get the feeling that this award system will end up like this:

 

[Andrewgosu]

Yes, the system has been implemented.
Still looking for good icons, though....

What about using resized Warcraft Icons?

 

[Rheias]

> What about using resized Warcraft Icons?

Well, that would work for WC3 / WE contests only, not other contests.

Beside, no idea if you actually care, but I don't think it is exactly "legal"...

 

[AceHart]

We care, and it is no problem.
It would fall under the general "take what you want ... bla bla ... fansite"-stuff from Blizzard.
In short, it's ok as award here.

But, yes, it's not general enough.

 

[Prometheus]

I think TH should keep his medal and we should leave it at that.
We don't want another SM type thing.

 

[Andrewgosu]

Indeed, but plain old medals just look...plain.


How come the guys from the Graphic Zone with massive green reputation bars do nothing?

That made me lol . Well, nobody asked a graphic guy around to do something like this, AFAIK...

 

[Rheias]

> Well, nobody asked a graphic guy around to do something like this

Then I'm asking you. Get to work.

Seriosuly though, I think if the admins take this suggestion seriously they should start looking into icons.

The end of the spell contest in nearing, and if you want to award there an icon it needs to be done in two days.

 

[Andrewgosu]

Well, instead of medals, each forum should have thematic award icons, then.

For example,

Writers Corner - a pen, inkwell etc.

World Editor Help - contest thematic Warcraft icon (e.g the winner of a spell contest will have the same award icon as it's winning spell had)

Graphic Zone - those geniuses there will think of something...
