If you don't wish to start a problem, certainly posting about it, calling a group of people out, would be counterproductive. PM me, and I'd be glad to look into any such claims.

Still no ideas on the new emblems? I'm really curious as to what I did, considering I don't really think I've ever done anything on this site that's above ordinary, with anything.

Correct use of punctuation, and good grammar.

Edit: nvm Veegie does not have one.

They were not immediately retroactive. There was a period when people who had done things in the past got the emblems. Someone, at some point, went back and added some that did not initially have them. They were not automated.

Also, most emblems are distributed by non-staff members, and I'm not entirely sure I see any case, except Iron_Forge, where staff members have any significant emblems they did not earn. I encourage you to point out any such case. Glancing over the few staff members I see here, I can account for all of their emblems with relative ease. It's difficult to award an emblem without just cause, and people have been called out on it on multiple occasions.

The community is in charge of emblems...From time to time, I mix it up, and change who is in charge of an emblem to keep fresh perspectives on things...The fact that staff have emblems just shows their commitment to the community, being staff gets you nothing, as most emblems aren't controlled by staff...

Also, I earned every one of my emblems!..I challenge you to prove otherwise...

If we don't know what most mean, how can we prove them? I smell a trap!

j/k

I understand that, and using your own logic, being Admin, and having if not all type of emblem, then most also shows commitment even if you don't post here as often as some members.

Yeah...I wish there was a +40 mods emblem. lol. Oh well. But yes, I am curios as to why people have them, and no one knows why...

Gives people a real reason to lurk, a poor one at that, but a reason.

If somebody is here to just earn emblems...they should leave.

Look at DeadHamster. He earned that yellow book one and left

j/k

I mean, if they want to earn emblems, they help out the community. that was what I was trying to get across.

What's that supposed to mean?

Since having the emblem, I am a time travelling asian

Also, considering I'm on two chirvons and Iron_Forge is on three... Perhaps the emblem is earned by the amount of ellipses in one's posts! =o
Sorry

its the best idea I could come up with

I_F is three on a lower level. At least thats my theory with it, they're for the same thing on different levels. I_F has 250, you have 500, I'm assuming that the lowest 500 is above the third chevron 250.

/my thoughts.

idk, my bff jill.
I like to think I use ellipses quite a lot...meh.

Wait. I think I just found out the purpose of emblems. They are all, in fact, pointless, but they are merely tools to drive the activity of the forum up! I'm a fuckin' genius.
