Removed some badges
« on: February 28, 2011, 03:53:44 PM »
As I am still getting bombarded with "mayb i deserv this medal???" PM's I decided to completely remove any medals that are slightly unclear or are becoming a nuisance to keep track of who deserves what. I could have simply made Ivory a badge moderator to solve this issue but I figured I'd just end it instead of shifting the problem onto someone else's shoulders (Ivory probably has enough on his plate just moderating the place normally).

Sorry if anyone is against the idea but don't forget they were only implemented to inspire people to help out or help spread the word of MM8BDM, which I feel is no longer a priority. The competition medals will stay as they're easy to keep track of who deserves what.

While I'm here here's a quick update! I was away last week to study C# with my pals so I haven't been able to do anything to do with MM8BDM. I am getting close to the end of my redundancy period at work so seeking employment is my top priority. If I can't find a job and this place starts eating into my savings I may have to shut cutstuff.net down for some time. Please don't use this as an excuse to panic/riot/donate though. The community is getting to a point where it can live on and evolve on it's own now, which is fantastic. I will try my best to keep this boat floating for you! Thanks for being a part of this community!  :mrgreen:

Do you think it would be possible for you to bring Star Member back? Not because I had it, but because it's a sign of who you can ask questions to and who you can expect replies from.

Cheers. Sorry I annoyed you so much with the PMs.

Don't worry. Cutty is made of the strongest materials available. Yet we didn't want to spend too much so we made him out of tin.

Anyways. I like the remaining medal choices. They are a good pick for official rewards.

Ah well. That Bass medal was rather snazzy, but I never even knew about it before the Powered Up expansion took off, so I've always considered it as a potential added bonus.

Although I have a nagging feeling that people will now start to brag about post counts now that medals aren't that easily achievable.

Pshaw, there should be a rep system. Then no one will brag about their post count, they'll just brag about how high their reputation is. And those with low ones can feel sad. :V

Rep = Reward on the steam forums.

It's crazy dude!

Anyway I've said this before, but I hate my postcount. People ask me stuff though, and it's rude not to reply  :|

Well, if you hate your postcount so much, then first, posts in Anything Goes should not count towards your post count, then ask the nearest mod to move that topic into Anything Goes.

I wouldn't mind the post count being removed altogether.

Seeing as I've been with cutstuff since it was small, I can say this:
Before MM8BDM, no one cared about post count, medals or any sort of reputation.
