Re: Awardings?
We shouldn’t have coloured names. There are already too many different colours for moderators and administrators.

Re: Awardings?
I was thinking in a white colour for the names, it is very easy to identify.

Re: Awardings?
I think white would be too bright, I was thinking a bold blue.

Olive green... 
Re: Awardings?
Coloured usernames should be reserved for staff members because they naturally make administrators and moderators distinguishable from "ordinary" members. We don't want to over-confuse things for newcomers.
In my opinion spiraldoor's idea is the best here. Maybe this position could be represented by something other than a star though, possibly something Rayman-related? Perhaps we could amalgamate the best user poll results with this "premium user" thing too.

Not white. It just wouldn’t fit with the site’s colour scheme. Everything here is a mixture of yellow and a sort of gentle greenish-black. It works quite well this way.Haruka wrote:I was thinking in a white colour for the names, it is very easy to identify.
Rayman’s ‘O’ or the equivalent symbol on Polokus’s stones come to mind. Or perhaps something from Rayman 1, to fit with the Tings. Maybe a Big Power.Xenon wrote:In my opinion spiraldoor's idea is the best here. Maybe this position could be represented by something other than a star though, possibly something Rayman-related?

I’m not sure if I like the idea of our value as members being determined by what essentially amounts to a popularity contest.Xenon wrote:Perhaps we could amalgamate the best user poll results with this "premium user" thing too.
Re: Awardings?
Hmmmmmm... OK then. Then I'll go for the symbols idea. How about a Golden Fist from Rayman 1?Xenon wrote:Coloured usernames should be reserved for staff members because they naturally make administrators and moderators distinguishable from "ordinary" members.

Not a Golden Lum. There is no such thing.
Re: Awardings?
Maybe a Laser-Washing Powder of your choice.

Re: Awardings?
Wait. I just had one of those ‘eureka’ moments. The ‘P’ on the Big Power can be made to stand for ‘Premium’, as in ‘Premium Member’. An ingenious idea. (If I do say so myself.)

I was thinking in a Golden Fist from Rayman 1. I think both are workable.

Re: Awardings?
Both ARE workable... very much so.
I'm with Spiral on this one though; 'P' makes more sense, and it's slightly more nostalgic than the golden fist.

And have it as the animated GIF. Or if it's too sparkly, just have a GIF where it's the sphere and ever two or three seconds a diagonal white flare/glare flashes down it.Jewish Candy wrote:Both ARE workable... very much so.I'm with Spiral on this one though; 'P' makes more sense, and it's slightly more nostalgic than the golden fist.
Re: Awardings?
I'm going to approve the "P" icon.

Re: Awardings?
Nobody seems bothered by the fully-animated Ting gif, so I don’t see why we can’t have a fully-animated Big Power one.

Re: Awardings?
I like the Big Power idea.
But I'm still disappointed that I won't have rainbow lasers to destroy the next post.
Perhaps a Premium Member should get a custom avatar?

Re: Awardings?
Nope. There are already ways to get a special rank.

Re: Awardings?
Wasn't one of them the Teensie quiz?
Wasn't that quiz cancelled?
If so, I think Awardings would be a good way to replace the gap that's lost.
