After a little banter and then some encouragement from Ed, I'm putting the question out there for my fellow BrickPickers if you have any ideas for Awards that can be earned and given to members?

 

Be sure to check out the Awards page before making a suggestion.

Really like the Firestarter one. It's a way to recognize members that start good discussions!

Me too. (As I quietly and shamelessly plug my own topics. )

Ssshhhh I was trying to get you an award while waiting for the Poll Taker award that you richly deserved.

That and the Postman award. As of the past week or so, I have the most posts of everyone here. I even beat The Almighty Ed!

Firestarter is trademark and copyright diabolos80, suckas.

I like SpiderSense, that's a good one.

Fine. Call mine Wildfire then :P

You can use firestarter if you want, you just have to pay me royalties. I accept polybags.

We all noticed.

Nah Wildfire is better.. as a symbol we can use green fire on water like in GoT

Derailer award incoming- dude did you see the last episode of GoT, Rains of Castamere? ****-O-L-Y poop.

Grandpa died in that chair- for members who have a knack for killing conversations.

How about the IGNITOR?  

BrickRat or Brick Addicts - for members who are the most frequent on the site/forums.  Could probably track that info with sign-ins and/or amount of time on site. 

Just to add an award inspired by Stephen.

 

Name: Box Snob

Description: Members that are nitpicky about box condition and/or must have a perfectly mint conditioned box.

Icon: Looks like a shiny brand new box sitting atop a pillar.

Tool(picture of wrench)

Name: Befriender/Friendster/Buddy

Description: Members with a number of friends on their profile page. Also could be ones that easily make friends or have friendly conversation.

Icon: Um.....how about Buddy Christ from Dogma?

 

Name: Minfig Man

Description: Members who must collect just about every single minifigure (regular and/or collectible) and/or are very knowledgeable about them.

Icon: Looks like a superhero with a big double "M" on his chest.

Name: Reputable (something similiar)

Description: Members with a high number of Reputation points.

Icon: ....A big thumbs up or plus sign? I don't know really. Help a guy out here!

Reputable members are already acknowledged in their profile page. An award for it is redundant.

How about these instead:

OnThinIce - for members who get offended by the slightest hint of disagreement - cracked ice

FunnyBone - for members with most posts in the joke thread - laughing bone

WhatsInYourMind - for members with the most responses to their Profile Feeds - thoughts bubble

WouldYouLookAtThat - for members wih the most response to their galleries - a monalisa

I guess it would that way. I wonder if the Awards will go back to displaying the way they did before right underneath a person's avatar in their post? I was thinking along the lines of that setup.

Even more good ideas from you and your creative mind.

I'm wondering that too, but I know the Macks are probably busying with more important items on here like the blog/EC articles.   I'm not mad or impatient so please don't take it that way.

EDIT: 900th Post!   Haha.

I got this idea from the RACERS thread and from TheOrcKing.

Name: Revivalist

Description: Someone who "jump starts" a old/dead thread.

Icon: Jumper cables or a lightning bolt.

MOCstar- steal it from Brickshow and give it to members who post original mocs

High Roller- for members with the largest and/or most valuable portfolios

Happy clown- for the funny guys

Sad clown- for the party poopers

AWOL- for members who disappear from the forums

Prodigal Son- for AWOL members who come back after a hiatus

Quick off the line- for new members who make x amount of posts in x amount of time

Specialist- for members who only collect a certain theme, or minifigures, or vintage, etc.

Peacemaker- for members who keep the peace

Sage- for members who consistently offer sound advice

Powerseller- for members who run quality resell shops on ebay, bricklink, amazon, etc.

Founder- for the first 10 or so forum members who joined AND are still around

I would definitely go for the Prodigal Son one.  Just like Batman.

Could even go with the Frankenstein monster's head as an icon, or maybe the Mad Scientist!

LowestFormOfWit should have this one in the bag. Go check out his gallery already!

I want to add this one to the list... I know that Jeff and Ed eventually want to add a special badge for members from the "original batch" like Sadowsk1, so I think now would be a great time to give him and other originals their glory.

That would work too. Great idea!

Define original? Are you talking 2012 and earlier?

It's not exactly a fair award. I'm a builder first and investor second.

 

Also, we need an award for Brickslickster. Not sure what it would be for, but I love the name.

 

Also, Threadcromancer. We've had a lot of necro'd threads lately.
