GFX Emblems going to undeserving people?

[RaVNzCRoFT]

I think Lt slap a ho's intention of creating this thread was to reform the graphics emblem system, and maybe even all of the emblems as a result. Emblems used to be quite rare, but now people seem to be getting them for just one good signature. I think he's proposing that we should create a new system or keep the old one, but not mix and match. If people are getting one chevron for just one signature, three chevrons do not mean as much. Before, one chevron meant you were good, two meant you were very good, and three meant you were outstanding--above everybody else. Now, in my opinion at least, they're becoming less appreciated and noteworthy. That's just what I've noticed.

Which is what I've been saying too.

Back then you'd be happy to get an emblem, because you show yourself you deserve it. Now everyone is getting them, loses the value.

[CabooseJr]

Quit complaining that other people get emblems, so what if they get them, be happy for them.

Doesn't really make a difference to me ;/

If people don't deserve them and they get them, and people who don't deserve them get them, theres a problem, and there should be a complaint, for it may make a change.

Why would you tell someone to stop complaining in the complaints and suggestions board if its a valid complaint?

[CabooseJr]

i stand corrected fully.

Though Xiion is very good at GFX. I don't see why he wouldn't deserve it(though i'm trying not to speak democratically)

This isn't only about Xiion. Thats like saying Someone makes a couple of points in a paragraph. You single one out, and say thats not true, therefore the entire paragraph is not.

Theres still things to talk about here, his complaining should be appreciated that he is trying to help, or atleast wants a change for the better.

If you're going to make that claim, show some proof.

[Cuda]

I kinda like Lt.'s "Democratic" idea on the emblems, but what if you gather a panel of people that know a little bit about what they're doing amongst the staff to decide whether or not someone gets an emblem? That way, theres no hard feelings toward anyone getting an emblem.

Yeah, maybe Armed doesn't deserve one due to the lack of quality, BUT the fact that he's been above average in this field for an extended amount of time seems to qualify him for the first Chevron, but hasn't shown enough growth or skill to advance to the higher ranks of it.

On the subject of Xiion, he has shown substantial knowledge in one field, but doesn't have a broad enough expanse to advance. Sure Space Scenes look cool, but it's a whored style, where few can actually make it stand out and make it shine, and not make it look like all the rest. That is what Xiion's downfall is. If he can manage to take a few more genres a bit farther, he could earn the next Chevron.

[-DeToX-]

I don't think there should be a democratic idea, but I think it would be better to have a couple of graphics czars, that all talk to each other before they make decisions, unless they are sure the person has talent. That way if they all have different likes and tastes, or levels of experience, they can see what a good/bad signature is.

These are emblems are just getting worthless altogether. I've seen quite a few people getting emblems that haven't shown any type of work to back the reason why they get them. I'm not pointing out names...that just creates enemy's and arguments. I do enjoy seeing emblems but not when people don't show they deserve them.

[Kirk]

They are, of course, simply little pictures that in the long run are meaningless. You want to show that you're the master of graphics? Go make a really nice piece of artwork. Just ignore the emblems if you have that big of a problem with them.

I doubt any organized method of giving out emblems would work out in the long run, simply because Halomods is not organized. Things become lax over time, people just don't do it anymore. Emblems died for awhile because of the same reason, then they started to just give out emblems in a mad rush because they wanted to get the whole idea started again, therefore giving emblems to people that maybe didn't deserve them.

[FleetAdmiralBacon]

I don't see why everyone makes a big deal of the emblems anyway...

[Sgt.Peppers]

This is really really stupid.

If it bothers you so much than just pretend they don't have an emblem, it's a little image below someone's name. Geez.

[-DeToX-]

Doesn't matter if its just an image...

If its just an image, why is it here? It has a meaning, and that meaning is losing value.

Do you know how many people always tell me "so and so doesn't deserve this, but this guy does."

To me, they don't mean anything except an achievement. But to others, I was told they were happy when they got it, so happy that they finally worked hard enough to get it, and now that everyone has it that didn't work as hard as them, or do anything close to as well as them, got it, which loses its value, and makes them lose that feeling like that achieved something well.

Doesn't matter if its just a picture, it has meaning, If it didn't, it wouldn't be here.

The chat may be stupid to some, but to others it means something.

But really, it's his complaint, you don't have to get involved if all you're going to do is say what's already been said. We get it people, it's an image that nobody should care about. If people want to care about it, let them.

I slightly disagree with this...I always thought that emblems should be on an exponential scale, so that the first level could be achieved by anyone who really tried, and the 3rd level was nearly impossible to achieve...This way it wasn't so much having the emblem that made you king of the castle, but having a high level of it...And anyone could get that warm fuzzy feeling of having an emblem...

Course, in reality it never really happened that way, and I'm OK with that...Most people care more about getting the emblem than the level, and they're content when they hit level 1...Since there are different czars for every emblem that

[-DeToX-]

[Long Speech] ...And none of that matters...Because I will always have more emblems than you... >

Thanks, you give me that warm feeling inside >_<

[Zone 117]

LOL.
Nice speech IF

[-Legendary-]

:o>

I see what you did there I_F. :p

Really though, it serves it purpose.

- Tells people what your good at, and at what level.
- Gives people a small reason to post whatever.
- Warm fuzzy fealing.
