I enjoy a warm feeling as much as the next guy, but I also beilive that emblems (particularly for reporting post and graphics) should be tightened up a little bit). It seems like in the past week or two there has been an outbreak up new people getting emblems, some of which (who I won't name) I don't think deserved it.

It's kind of like how when all of us were 10 and we got a trophy at the end of every sports season, but you didn't really have to do anything. Hell, even if you picthed a no-hitter in a game, you'd still reap the same award as the fat guy who warmed the seat.

As for myself, I am quite content with my little image.

Also, I have to best emblems.

What the [Explicit Word]???
I earned my emblem for the work I do with NSN711. who are you to judge what I know that I am? Just because my work that I have posted ever so recently may be unappealing to several others, does not mean that you get to go and claim a faulty nickname i gave to myself as incorrect. You're work, which I have yet to be "amazed" by, has shown a particular decrease in activity. you don't post as often anymore, your graphics are displeasing to my ocular cavities, and most of which, your opinions are biased. you may think something to be incorrect, and hold it to be true, but under my own thoughts, you are the one who is to be showing how superior you are to everyone else. if you think a meek thing such as Emblems are given to such undeserving members of the HaloMods community, then what information do you have to support your view on the matter? I for one know that I deserved my emblem, not just because i produce good images, and manipulations, but because I have learned much over the years from the harsh criticism I have dealt with that kept me from quiting. when i see someone as inferior as yourself talking smack about others far more graphically inclined, it makes me disgusted to even know the likes of you exist on this community, especially when i see you giving unwanted comments and opinionated "spam" to this community. don't take what i said, and then use it against me. i know for a fact i am correct, and used my grammar in the utmost correct, and knowledgeable way that i can do.

Like Tural has been saying, Emblems are not democratically awarded. If they were, people would start making polls about, do i deserve [insert emblem name here]? Cause usually they would be popularity contests and that would be undeserving.

Looks like a lot of emblems have been removed or downgraded, are you warm and fuzzy inside now?

See thing is its kind of weird to get rid of people's emblems once already received. I'm pretty sure it would be better to just tighten up the way to get it.

Other than downgrade everyone, which makes them feel bad.

Maybe the other czars will agree(other than the one that removed half of em).

Obviously half the people in this thread. We've heard tons of people say that before, we don't need another comment like that. If you don't care, don't post..

Then again there isn't much else to discuss here.

Emblems are designed to be earned, never lost...Not sure why anyone would've lost them unless they were given by honest mistake...Which I can't recall happening to anyone lately...

Maybe the czar didn't think certain people with that emblem deserved it anymore? (perhaps due to complaining...)

...Or I_F meant no body should lose their emblems for something like this.

Rules/Whatever shouldve just been tightened around giving them away.

Explain how complaining affects one's ability to make graphics. Emblems should never be taken away. If they were given at one point, later developments should not change that. If the emblem person felt that the member should not have gotten it, then they should not have given it at all. They already gave it, they should not be going back on that decision.

Get over it, it's just a picture. What's worse is this isn't a graphics site, it's a Halo modding site. So it's really not relevant anyways.

Its already been said it doesn't matter if its a picture, it serves a purpose.

And this site has a graphics section, and it should be looked at, so it is relevant.

I was about to say that, I don't see why they're taking them away now, emblems shouldn't ever just be 'taken back'. They earned the fairly, I don't see how anyone can just 'take them back'. Kinda ruins the purpose of earning them if you can loose them as well.

I like posting my graphical work here for 2 of the most reasonable facts:
One being that the criticism that is given to each person who posts something is completely honest, and isn't just "Oh my god that sucks!!"
They actually give tips and information that is vital in how they can improve on their own style.
the second reason being that this forum has some really great people, and is very active.
that's about it.

And that has what to do with the point that emblems shouldn't ever be taken away and they were?
I dunno >_>

I wasn't saying they don't serve a purpose. I know they are nice because they show certain qualities of a member, however, people get too sensitive about them. And yes, this site has a graphics section, and I enjoy posting some of my works in there. It's just, this is really not a big deal. I think the members who have the graphics emblems deserve them, and the ones who deserve them but don't have one will eventually get one. They just need to keep posting their works and improving.
