Damn, this topic won't stay dead. Its been locked at least two times. I know its still an active discussion, but as Aeon said
GametagAeonFlux wrote: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."
Sorry to anyone who still wants to voice under here, but the topic isn't going anywhere. Time to let it go down.

Why let it go down, if someone wants to post they should, but if its useless shit like OH no one cares, or OH its just a picture, then they shouldn't post, because they don't have much impact on the discussion, and its about the emblems going to undeserving people, or emblems going to the wrong people but not the right, shouldn't matter if you don't care or not, if you don't care, don't post. If you want to post your two cents about the emblems going to people that don't deserve it and some that do, go ahead, but saying no one cares has no impact on this thread. ;/

This topic is now about the thread, not the issue. Why?

The reason I orginally wanted the topic to be locked is because its going nowhere. Some people lost emblems. Some people got downgraded. I guess you could say the problem got solved somewhat.

I can understand that some of you want to keep posting, but we can't talk about anything else without restating what has been said. We are even getting off topic to point where we are discussing the thread's being instead of the threads topic.

Thats just my feelings on it. This problem will never be solved, becuase there are no real rules for the emblems and it's a matter of personal opinion if you should get one. As stated above, some people lost 'em, or got downgraded. Problem solved for the time being.

The emblems that were taken away should be given back and then the system should be tightened up. Just because the czar gets offended because we think he should stop handing them out like candy doesn't mean he should take ours away.

Sweet, here's an actual comment I can actually comment on!

I agree. Taking back an emblem is like taking back a gift. If the czar sees that you deserve one, you should get on. Enough said.

Doesn't that kind of defeat the purpose? I mean if the czar did that then tightened up on who got them there would still be people that don't deserve the emblem. To be perfectly frank I think graphics emblems should only be given to people who make an effort and try different things besides signatures; large art, etc. You need to ask yourself if you would be complaining about this if your emblem wasn't removed.

Yes, I would. And to point myself out I try many things besides sigs, and yet mine got taken away.

Ombre is it not specifically called "Signatures" and now "Graphics" emblem?

So shouldn't atleast the first chevron be signatures, it shouldn't have to be bigger things too.

And Ombre... Lt had his emblem and was complaining. NSN had his emblem and agreed. After they lose it, they still are posting their complaints. I don't think it makes a difference.

I don't even do graphical work and whatnot, and here I am complaining. I think it's completely absurd to remove someone's emblem after they have been given it. If the giver made a mistake in the first place, then they should just have to live with that. They should not be going back and stripping the emblem from the people they feel don't deserve it.

Taking them away is like saying "Good job, now here's a reward."

..."actually, you did a crappy job. Give it back."

I agree with you. I don't do graphics but that's because I have never really tried reading tutorials etc. I think there should be a new czar for the emblem, but I'm not in charged.

I completely agree with not taking back someone's emblem. They got the emblem in the first place for doing something, and then it got taken away. The czar should give them back and make sure he proporly gives them out next time.

Taking away someone's emblem for complaining is like taking back some kids present becuase he deciced to call his sister a biotch on christmas day. In other words, its a pretty gay punishment. It shouldn't happen, and I think maybe an appology is in order.

You guys are acting like the only reason you make graphics are so you can get emblems and what? Show it off to the ladies? Not likely. If you want your emblem back, continue to post your work, if you really deserve the emblem you should get it back rather quickly. If the czar returned all the emblems at this point it would give the impression that he or she would do your every command every time you bitch about something. Maybe this isn't fair, but what is? Thats how life is, deal with it. And remember, emblems are a privilege, not a right.

Then the czar would be revealed and I don't think they want that.

Perhaps through the word of an Administrator or Staff member. God, that line sounds pretty stupid when I read it again.

Hmm, sure seems like they were removed because of complaining...
