Member Medals

Migrated topic.

It seems that "expert" members in various fields get a little "medal" by their user-name.

Could I have one for botanicals?

Do you have a CACTI medal? Maybe a Psychotria leaf medal?!

May I have one?

:)

Also...

I Nominate the following Members for Medals-

Jorkest
Phlux
69ron
Polytrip

And possibly-
Fractal enchantment
Lorax
Ohayoco
VisualDistortion


I'd also say that you must have at least 500 post to get a medal!!!

Yeah I don't think the little icons are meant to be a status symbol...just an identifier. Even the post "ranks" are just for fun.
 
i guess thats probably enough..dont need to keep bashing Coatl...for something that is just for fun anyway...and im also sure that everyone does and says things that they contradict later..it happens..nobody here is perfect..

I like those ones, the Buddha however is a bit too much (semi-)religion for me.

The ranks have been added.

Awesome, they are however patented by me and as a result I'll be expecting a check for $5000 on the first of every month (evil laugh). By the way, that and the Buddha idea were jokes. :)

or a map ?

it is most certainly a map.

if you aren't sure what those little icons are, you can right-click them and select properties. the filename for the icon will come up, it tends to describe the icon. the traveler's, for example is map.png
 
Coatl deserves the medal..

Thank Jorkest!

And it is pathetic because everybody around here knows coatl and what he's worth for sooo.....what difference a graphical representation of a wee medal or something would make?

Your not bitching cause you have one! I just want a cool little cacti metal! :)

The idea of the medals is to identify the expertises of a person. E.g. If someone has a chemical experts icon that means you can ask that person a questions about chemistry and have a good change to get a decent answer you can trust to be correct.

So your telling me people shouldn't ask me botanical questions? Everyone else without metals knows just as much as me about botanicals?

I think I have proven I know a good bit about botanicals ( a fair bit more than than the average member here at the nexus, I'd say) and since I know basically nothing about chemistry, I figured if I had a little botanical metal I'd get more botanical question directed at me (which I love).

I mean, if somebody wants cactus info on the nexus, they ask me or read my threads... hell I'm about the only one that even posts about botanicals! If you removed all my posts the Nexus would be fairly devoid of most ethnobotanical (except those relating to chemistry) posts! When I came here... most people had a very basic knowledge of Cacti which I believe I expanded. I have contributed much time and effort into making my posts for the Nexus. For this... I think I should get a metal, even if I'm not correct ALL THE TIME (people make mistakes!) I can still help direct people along the correct path!

Know what you mean just find it ironic that Coatl is asking for such a thing after saying a week or so ago these things dont matter.

They certainly don't matter in the big scheme of things!
 
As I said before, 'Coatl hasn't earned that yet and begging for an icon won't change that.
Click to expand...

I'm not begging or demanding, just asking.

The "Pleeeeeeeeeease" thing was more of a joke, than anything.

I'm just presenting my case that MAYBE I should get a medal.

Give it to me when you think I deserve it.

everybody around here knows coatl and what he's worth for sooo.....what difference a graphical representation of a wee medal or something would make?

So the noobs won't don't know anybody yet will PM me and ask me the botanical questions instead of 100 people posting "How do I prepare Cactus?"

If they want to know how to EXTRACT cactus... well I bet they'll PM one of the chemistry guys! Do y'all see what I'm saying?
 
:(

I'd also like to thank everyone at the Nexus for the wealth of information that I have learned from my time here.

There are others who I think should have the botanical medal as well... Phlux, probably 69ron for botanical too, even tho he has one for chemistry as well, just to name a few.

I'll post a list of people in the 1st post of this thread who should possibly receive different types of medals.

Let's use this thread to nominate people for medals.

I'd also say that you must have at least 500 post to get a medal!!!
 
And, um... why the hell doesn't Jorkest have a medal?! Give him the first botanical medal!

I nominate Jorkest for the 1st botanical medal!

Oh, please make it a Cactus! Or I suppose you could let Jorkest choice... maybe a Psychotria leaf?
