I think we should have medals for each year of being registered. It's a nice way to recognize long-time members and is done on many forums.

The medals should be automatically granted for every year since the user joined. (This was well liked last time but wasn't implemented because there was no automatic system)

Here's an example of reddit's yearly medals:

Of course ours should follow the same theme each year and be more simple looking like the donation medals Coco created. Maybe we could even have yearly medal design contests for these?

Thoughts?

High performance, consistent uptime and fast support. Minecraft hosting that just works.

That system only has the option to hand the medals out manually.
Users can request the medals via a support request. This would be tedious though.

It doesn't have to be automated. Just get staff to do it. Hense why there staff.

Medals have to be given through the admin control panel and I'm the only one with access to that for security reasons.

And:
This would be tedious though.

There are +-6k members who are here for more than a year. It would be a bit hard to keep up with the requests.

Can you not get an add-on made?

Ajdin - there has to be a way to do this without creating a new addon and letting staff give medals without ACP...

I think it would especially help out newcomers to pretty easily find people of experience, simply looking at the user's year badge would give a rough indication of the experience of the user.

Problem is, users who have barely been active since they signed up a year ago would still receive it.

So those users are not experienced, so that argument is invalid and I personally think this is pointless.
That's the same thing with premium, doesn't mean you are "experienced" or trusted, idk why people try to put that into account..
but with gruss' idea, only active ones will do a support ticket
It takes long enough to get support on something important that you actually need help with, you'd be ready for your second year medal before getting your first applied to your account.

Interesting, pretty sure that's recently changed. Like, in the last 2 weeks or so. But then again, not too surprised people are behind a bit, we did set a bad example.

I think this is a great idea. As for how to go about it, I'd suggest creating a special staff position for the manual allotment of medals. Just 1 or 2 people should suffice, because even though there are plenty of members who qualify for a medal, only an active fraction of them would likely request it.

This would require a bit of work to implement, I'm sure, but there results would be worth it. I'm fairly sure the Bebosny gets irritated with medal requests; I know I personally had to speak with him about them multiple time in the last week. Adding a staff position for this would alleviate that irritation. On top of that, with a dedicated staff position we could add more possible medals to the current line-up since we wouldn't need to worry about manageability.
