Yeah. They are kind of an award to those who's hard work is recognized. Members who deserve them are those who just do it for fun. Members who are obviosly trying to get one shouldn't.

I'm sure that if I were to read through the other two emblem discussion threads, I'll find the same arguments discussed over and over again, possibly by the same people or just others saying the exact same thing.

Well, thats a given. Its hard to actually discuss something that has already been discussed. All you can really do is restate it and help elaborate on it.

Of course emblems are going to go to undeserving people. Its a fact of life. Undeserving people get good things all the time. Its all about luck. Whoever gives out the emblems must base it on his personal opinion. His opinion is different than mine. But his opinion, in the end, is more powerful than mine becuase he has the decision to enroll it. Even if guidelines were set, its still a personal opinion on how "good" something is.

Maybe emblems were lost or downgraded because the czar thought that they should be harder to get. The harder they are to get the more motivated people will be to make outstanding graphics. (Never even heard the title czar until now.) To be perfectly honest, I feel the only emblem that people who whine like this deserve is Cry Baby.

So exactly why did some people get their emblems taken away?

Because apparently the emblem giver thought it was a good idea, which it wasn't.

Apparently complaining results in losing one, even thuogh it has nothing to do with the skill it takes to get one.

Losing it totally, not just a chevron I believe.

Chevron or whole emblem, it doesn't matter.

I thought NSN meant complaining in this topic lost whoever an complained they're emblem fully, and When Sarb said he didn't complain, I told him NSN probably meant they lost they're emblem fully. Others that didn't didn't lose their's fully, others just got downgraded. And I thought that makes sense seeing as Xiion didn't lose his, yet NSN and Lt did.

This reply is, if you were indeed replying to what I said, Tural.

I have nothing to fear for I have no emblems to begin with... Don't complain, be happy if you have one. I don't, yet I'm perfectly content with it. If you ask me, the czars are perfectly within their rights to remove emblems if people complain about them.

Agreeable. Don't complain. Thats why some of you lost them. The czars of the emblems can give them out, and take them away. You really don't have a say in it. We need to really lock this topic, as there is nothing else we can really talk about.

I don't see the point in locking an active thread that has a good discussion going, and isn't getting out of control in any way, whether there's more to say or not...

And, I don't think anyone should ever lose an emblem just for voicing their opinion, and I don't believe that was the case here either...My guess is that the czar made a mistake...It happens, life goes on...

There's not a good discussion going on, it's just alternating between "this sucks dude" and "emblems are stupid and/or no one should care."
