Shuruia 3,145 / 28,053 Report Post Posted February 23, 2019 Edited February 23, 2019 by Shuruia The only "difficulty" in implementing this would be having it under a semi-automated system similar to what @queue suggested, although it should be simple enough to create. The kind of system he outlined is the only feasible way to implement this suggestion for newer members, it seems. As for older members (pre-2016), it shouldn't be too tedious to manually assign the respective badges given that there aren't that many people to verify. I could do this myself since I've been around since 2011, so I know the oldies. All we need is a dev to pick up a formal request to make the automated half of this suggestion, but that's up to the directors.

Guest SkydivingSquid Report Post Posted January 14, 2020 I like this idea. The automated system might be a little difficult to implement, but I am sure it could be done based on account age. I doubt many players will have that much of an issue with having the wrong badge and would just be happy to have one. In most cases we can point back to account creation date. No need to look back at the old forums. Start fresh. We could also setup a "Badge" forum for players who have questions or request for badges.

This badge would be given to members who have been in GFL for at least 5 years. So members who have been in GFL since 2014. @Ralsei seemed to like this idea, let me know in the comments what you think. Happy 8th birthday GFL !!! I want to know where mine is. necroposting because squidward did it first Edited January 14, 2020 by TheSadBandit Former Gmod Prop Hunt Admin Former Media Team Team Leader Former Media Team GFX Member Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to look back at the old forums. Start fresh. We could also setup a "Badge" forum for players who have questions or request for badges. The one issue is: this page hasn't been up for 5 years. It's been up since 2016 (when the switch from the old forums to this forums happened). So, the automated bot would have to start working until 2021, which would mark 5 years of this forums page. A good way to verify account data from the previous forums though would be to show one of the following: - login to your old account - have verification email about the old account - show some sort of proof that you were on the forums in 2014+ Former Gmod Prop Hunt Admin Former Media Team Team Leader Former Media Team GFX Member Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
