[WEBSITE] 2 Year Forum Award

[Aorty]

I'm pretty sure they've stated in the past that they don't want to add forum awards for "the sake of it".

I highly doubt they'll make it stackable either as it's not to show How many years you've been on the forums. It's to show people you've been here for a year.
If you wanna know how long people have been here look at their profiles :^)

neutral/ +1 i agree with pooski but i sorta would like to see it stackable

I don't really see the point in creating a 2 year award or making the current 1 year forum award stackable. Awards like these are supposed to be milestones, and why should 2015 players get another award just because they have been here longer, I mean there's people who joined in 2015 who have alot of contributions to the community like ev0 for example and have stayed with the community throughout the year, then there's others who joined at the same time who have little to no contributions and left during the same year, who even cares if you've been here longer? The award isn't even handed out by staff. It's handed out to everybody who's forum account is over 1 year old. The award is not supposed to recognize the players who have been here the longest, the awards purpose is to show that players have been here for a year as PoosKi has stated. Like I said before awards like these are milestones, to showcase that you have been here for a year, same goes for other awards like Ex-Admin to show that you were an admin, not how many times you have been admin, Expert Suggestion and Bug Fixer to showcase that you have implemented a suggestion and that you have helped to fix a bug, not to show how many bugs or suggestions you have fixed / implemented. The only awards that should be stackable are the ones that take some sort of skill, like Top 10 Awards, Comp Night Champion, Bounty Hunter etc. as these take skill to get and the awards should recognize this skill by stacking.

If the award wasn't automatically given out then I might be for this, however, the award is automatically given out to the forum accounts that are over one year old, doesn't really prove loyalty as many of the older forum accounts are inactive and haven't been touched for years, most 2015 players are gone now anyways, and implementing this suggestion just to appeal to the few older players that are still here today isn't worth it.

I think you're just delving into semantics. From what I understand you're pretty argueing against any awards that are automated/don't require skill. I really don't agree with this. Even if half the people with the stacked 1 year award/2 year award aren't loyal then their forum account is itrirrelevand you will barely see it anymore because they don't interact with the community so who cares. And I think people SHOULD be recognized for joining this community in it's early stages because if they are still active then them having this award rewards them for their loyalty. Joining a community while it's just starting should be recognised and loyalty should be flaunted, it's beneficial for the image of invex.

than why don't we just give the 2 year award to people who have actually done something?
