Gta forum badges

[Chaosphere]

Can we please remove all forum badges for gta. It is no longer a supported game.

In my mind badges must mean something or there is little point to them, so I think best to occasionally perform some caretaking on such things...

I dont think badges should be deleted man, its a nice way to say you were there when that was a thing...
AND
People do still consistently play top see the new content...

That's what the CS veteran badge was issued for though. The badges that are issued now should only represent members that are active within that game, or at least that's how I understand it. I have an Ark badge, an elite dangerous badge and an arma badge which I shouldn't technically have as I haven't been active within those games for a long time. As far as I'm aware it's down to the GL's to 'tidy' this up?

As GTA isn't a supported game anymore should they not be removed?

Might be something for council to discuss the next time they get together.

They should probably be removed. There's a problem though. I'm not GL anymore and I don't have access.

[Galatoni]

It's not a question of playerbase unfortunately. The group pulled it as a supported game. The supported games are to try and bring in new members, and to create a space and active community around solid games. GTA just didn't consistently have that.

Galatoni the games old GL doesn't have a badge.. but old admins do? See it just makes no sense lol

I'm more highlighting this as to me it just seems like some housecleaning that should has got missed...

And I don't think we should have badges for every old game...like sparko said it should be current ones. But hey if more people think otherwise then it's something we can change sure. Perhaps a blue badge for old players.. removing green and red etc... not sure really.

However I have already removed overwatch badges from those that no longer play so it is something more 'special' to those that do (at request from a player). To me this is why it's important. And I wish to continue this practice for overwatch.

I'd be quite happy with something like this!

[Chaosphere]

Maybe it's something for council to discuss.. I appreciate I am quite OCD and I see lots of badges that don't make sense anymore and it irritates me way more than it should!

I think it hails back to the fact they failed you on all scout badges and they bullied you cause of it.

Let it go Ben it all OK

[Chaosphere]

Was 'let it go' the answer to this query?

I see lots of nonsensical badges.. games that we no longer support and so on.. and no 'continuity' between games (some older games badges have been removed, some newer ones they have not).

Or perhaps once again I am poking my nose where I guess I have no business..

The badges were originally introduced to show you played a game to the standard expected by dMw.  You earned your badge and it had nothing to do with activity, you have proven you could play the game the dMw way and just because you had a break didn't mean you would forget how to play in that way.   If game leaders want to use the badge to track active players then that is up to them but it was never originally created for this purpose.

[Chaosphere]

So then why do we have some games that badges no longer exist for (I got into dmw via the battlefield series, there are no badges for these) but some games linger on (gta is my example here)... and then why does the gta game leader not have a badge, yet the admins and players still have their respective colour badges. If you're keeping badges... It's like the game leader never played it at all!

I'm not arguing with why you give badges. I'm saying that currently some of the older game badges are a bit of a mess with no apparent continuity or logic to it and there doesn't seem to be a plan for these badges for retired games.

[Galatoni]

Game leader sounds like the exception. Perhaps it just wants admins and GL removed and given GTA green badges?

That's a fine plan if that is what we will do. But it should be standard over all games in that case .. Which so far it is not (battlefield is just 1 example of removed badges)

I'm grumbling about something likely few care about but why have badges at all unless we want them to mean something...
