Phoenix Wright Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 I'm wondering if newbies, eggs, hatchlings, nestlings, herons, and royals are getting little icons like these, or if they are even being worked on... I don't mind if they aren't, but it would be a good addition to SF. Hell, even the exiled have one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fireman Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 I think they existed once upon a time. Too bad people didn't like Rafiel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 I wouldn't mind one. Maybe one that corresponds with the Group someone is in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florete Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 We had them for all the members at one point, but it got confusing with members without avatars. It made lazy people have to look at the name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It made lazy people have to look at the name. You're kidding right...? Things have to be so convenient that we have to make it so people don't look at NAMES anymore?

Cynthia Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 (edited) I can't help it but laugh out loud. Too lazy to look at the name Anyways, little icons would be awesome. I have to agree, I don't see making it easier for people to be lazy as a liable excuse. However I disagree with the icons as it would be more difficult to tell what a users rank is, and how much higher it is than other ranks. Newcomers won't be able to determine Royals are higher than Herons, as the icons won't show the ranking. The little box ranking that goes up with post count makes it easier to determine that. For example, I only have six boxes, while Richter Abend has 8, thus making it obvious he is a higher rank than I.

Cynthia Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 (edited) The only one I could see realistically is Royals, to show they have reached the max level. Edited November 7, 2008 by Cynthia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wist Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 (edited) The problem of people unintentionally associating members with the image was more problematic than one might think it would be. It wasn't necessarily a barrier, but it was a cause for disorientation because a few people would automatically associate everyone without a personal avatar to that one image. A small minority of members were unable to ignore the this subconscious linking, and a few took to ad-blocking the image in order to avoid the unnecessary and aggravating confusion. Edit (2008.11.07): This problem probably wouldn't exist if icons are only given after a certain number of posts or some other similar criteria so I can see higher ranked members receiving an icon as has been suggested. Fewer people would have it and they'd all likely all have their own unique avatars. The only issue I can see is whether or not people would spam in order to get the icon a couple of days sooner than they otherwise would.

NTG Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Back then, members had the Rafiel icon but people got confused or they didn't really like it. Anyway, I think it's better like this now. It does help distinguishing between staff and normal members. Also, regarding my group icon (XD), that's just a special case, so it doesn't mean members will be getting custom ones any time soon. As for Exiled group icons, I guess those stayed to distinguish between the banned from the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VincentASM Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 The icons are there to distinguish "special" members with Exiled being extra special.... That's all there is to it : P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mufasa Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 I like the idea of Royals being able to have their own custom one. But I also understand that it may be unfair and impossible to do. Personally, if we can't do a custom one, I'm not sure I really want one. It sorta takes away individuality, and Rafiel is kinda lame. Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TLSothe Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 If Royals get one, I will violently spam to Royal in two weeks! Yeah, it can't HURT, can it? So many people seem to want it, too...atleast for Royal/herons... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_____ Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Royals already have their names grayed to distinguish themselves from other members. There's no need to give them icons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am going to flame you for that post.*Flames, but doesn't really flame, just fake-flames* ...Oh, no I'm not. Anyway, Yeah, but I said atleast. I think it would be more...better...er? to give atleast herons and up icons... Staff's choice though. I'll go with whatever they choose. Yep.

_____ Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 What's the point? Herons get the ability to close thier own topics, and Royals get thier names grayed out/the ability to delete thier own posts. They don't need any thing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
