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.

Define original? Are you talking 2012 and earlier?

Well not really. How about before the USA Today article. I joined after it, but still in 2012. (a few days before 2013), and I don't really consider myself an original, even though I've been on this site for 6 months already.

What was the exact date the USA Today article came out? I really can't remember. I joined at the beginning of September last year sometime way before it.

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

Ooh, that does sound sweet. Maybe for a member that posts links to a number of deals?

Oh man I so didn't read that the way you meant it the first time

I think blackjack and comicblast what get that award.

Wednesday December 26, 2012 is when I got it (had to check the date on my own copy). Not sure if it was available before that on the internet but I kind of doubt it. That's the date for the article, though I don't know about the video. 

The BrickMaster - For members who collect all three Brickmaster sets by reaching 15,000 Brickpoints

What if we decide to get more than one of the same? I really like that idea, though!!

Well, it can be then for members who get three Brickmaster sets. Or equivalently, members who reach 15,000 Brickpoints

That works! ;-)

What are we waiting for!   

Name: Revivalist

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

Icon: Jumper cables or a lightning bolt.

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

I have an alternate name for this award.

Necroposter

What are we waiting for!  

Someone to collect more than 2, perhaps? 

TOK is really close to 2! 150 BrickPoints away!

Somebody already has 15,000 

No offense Macks, but I'm a little non-plussed by the Mr. Brick award. Does everyone get one of those now? Is it just because Mrs. Brick was taking so much flack?

If you ask for it, you can get it

Ermm... why don't we just save everyone from reading through a potential flame war and all just agree to disagree. Mr. Brick was indeed most likely introduced in an effort to be politically correct following the whole Mrs. Brick fiasco, so I don't see what the big deal is here. If you are complaining the the Macks haven't got around to giving all the male members one, keep it mind they are really busy with the contest (they have to read your 98 reviews for pete's sake ).

 

I'm not trying to mini-mod, but I don't want an arguement clogging up this thread. The Mrs. Brick thing was a pretty touchy issue for some, and now that it has been dealt with by the introduction of Mr. Brick, I don't see a need to rekindle old quarrels.

Are we allowed to nominate members for awards? We could probably just pm a mod, but maybe a new thread would be better, since the community could then aye or nay a nomination.

By the way, I'm still waiting for my Most Handsome award. Maybe it got lost in the mail?

I don't think there are any "rules" for talking to the Macks about awards. I'm sure that if you ask nicely, you can nominate someone (or yourself) for an award. I second the idea of a nomination thread. As for your most handsome award, I already nominated you for that. Your heli-beanie and yellow complexion is just so alluring I couldn't help myself.

Really? I nominated him because of his lucious locks of hair and purple hairband. The mustache goes so well with the hair.

I actually think that a PM to any mod or admin would work best for this kind of thing. I mean, we could probably try to make it public, but I am not really confident it would work out well in the long run.

My Brickpoints is over 9,000!!!!

I can't help it. I love the crap out of that clip! :rofl:

OrcKing has given me an idea for a new award.

The Platinum Brick

A simple PM to me or Jeff about a potential candidate for an award or icon is all you have to do.  Let's not make a big deal about this.  It's for fun.  Some members are taking these too seriously.  If you want a Mr. or Mrs. Brick, just ask.  Same with the Geezer icon for old timers or baby icon for youngsters.
