To put the new awards system to use, I'm calling on the community to make award designs for us to use.

I've made two award templates for photoshop and attached them. Using them is pretty straightforward. If you want to change the color of the ribbon, use a color or gradient overlay on the ribbon folder and set it to multiply. Change the contents of the emblem layer in the big award if you want to change the emblem icon. Change the color of the Medal shape if you want to change the medal color. Make sure you make one of each for a given award, one for the showcase and one for the postbit icon. If you make an award, please try not to deviate too much from these templates so that we can keep everything looking consistent.
Big Icon (http://sc2mafia.com/award.psd) Small Icon (http://sc2mafia.com/saward.psd)
Examples: http://i.imgur.com/Kr0HQYR.png http://i.imgur.com/Xd6oSTL.png

I made an award for people who contribute artwork to the site. If you make an award image and we end up using it, you'll receive said award. I gave it to myself, so you guys can see what it looks like

Also, PLEASE upload the .psd file and not just the png file. This is so that we can edit existing awards if we change the style or whatever. Thanks.

Here are some examples of designs we need. Of course, you can make a design for anything you feel that deserves an award, and we'll consider making it into one.

If its not then moderators will finally have to work. Lol. That shit would suck


I would think a 'reference' badge could be a good idea to motivate people to draw their friends to the site. It would be kinda painful to really keep track of that and prevent people from exploiting it though.

Yea, it would be difficult. So many people screw with referral system for anon accounts, smurfs, ect lol. Although, it's not like an award is so important that it really matters that we look into it so deeply.

I agree. Hopefully we could pull some new blood to the site from it

Yeah... the referral system needs some work honestly and is prone to manipulation right now. Quality over quantity for sure, and the people actually need to stay vs. being used to up one's count. It's definitely something that we should incentivize, but we've had problems in the past with how to avoid loopholes in terms of whatever contest / prize is established. Obviously, there can be a bright line rule against referring one's own smurf, but it's not helpful if the referred person makes an account here, never to return, just so the referrer gets another point toward a prize or award.

We can just implement a rule against abuse of referral system if we decide to add an award for it.

$250 if the person stays active in the forum for 3 months. Another $250 if they stay active for six.

While we're talking redesign, you should add a way to hide the random statistics section. It really clutters game pages, and in many cases it serves no purpose at all (noone cares about the location or mentions of a FM account, for example).

All of them; badges, reputation, join date, location, posts, tagged, and mentioned.

While they may have an utility in the forum in general, they do nothing but clutter game threads where it's not uncommon to have replies that are a single line. It makes it harder to read discussions, and I think it'd be nice to let people choose if they want to see them or not, just like with avatars and signatures.

Would it be possible to just add in a spoiler kinda thing? Would be clean and still preserve the information.. If there is anyone out there that actually gives a shit about showing that random stuffs.

Stupid... obesity is an epidemic and we are not to coddle these badges. If you truly cared, you would step in and save their physical life, and then step up again to save their emotional life. You're just being lazy.

Yep brendan is right, and the Skwirl award really was a squirrel on a medal. I think it was silver... Suggestion if it gets remade: make it a nut ;)


I'm not a squirrel though, soooo... it's not really up to me xD
