statues and eagles

ahoy mighty mods once more!

mates, would it be possible to have a new icon fer those who have lots of eagles?

i know this be a small thing, but i think it would be kinda nice fer folks who have alot of bars on their sleeves to be given a general's star for prolific post counts.

(not that i'll ever attain somethin' like that, it would add some extra fun to USPOL).

aye?

Re: statues and eagles

I was kinda wondering what the scoring scale was.

Re: statues and eagles

It used to be that the moderators had stars above their eagles (I think it was just the mods), so I know there are other icons floating around...

This would certainly be something that Marc would have to deal with, though.

I'm definitely resistant to change!!! But I just love eagles, though I do see your point.

Re: statues and eagles

On a related, note, it looks like the Eagles max out at 8...

So anything above 8,000 posts has no further designation.

Isn't there some rule about how big your signature line can be?

There are some signature lines that take up an entire piece of cyber real estate.

Re: statues and eagles

OK so what is the formula for statues and eagles? I've looked all over and can not find an answer.
