Tubbyboy, this is Broadsword. Come in Tubbyboy.

And now the irony is in full swing. Admittedly, I have only Tubbyboy’s word on this, but my gut feeling is that he speaks the truth when he claims he is entitled to wear the TELIC medal.

Gen. Sandworm has made certain well explained threats against those who might post WW2inColor medal ribbons in their signature. This is a matter of record. However, there is nothing on this site that restricts one from attaching other images to one’s signature. The irony in this case is that a member posting a ribbon that he is entitled to wear in the real world is being commanded to desist from doing do so on this site by those who have not the entitlement to wear their site ribbons in the real world.

I am in two minds over this. The first is that we need a site constitution to clear up such matters - but only if the French and Dutch, amongst others, ratify it in a referendum. The second mind says that Tubby is posting his TELIC ribbon (why is TELIC in capitals when it’s a proper noun, not an acronym - except Tell Everyone Leave Is Cancelled etc?) purely to be subversive. It neither harms nor offends anyone. The harm test should be applied to pubic laws. The offense test is valid for places where membership is voluntary, such as this site. As such, there is no reason to ban it. Moreover, what would it say about this site if the mods / admins allow members to use the Nazi Swastika, but not ribbons from medals won in the liberation of a subjugated people?[/quote]

Very well said. I personally see no harm in posting your own medels/ribbons in the sig. space. After all you can post whatever you like there.

I’ve been awarded the site peacekeeping medal! Earlier comments will explain why it’s not in my signature, but here’s my tuppence on the reasons for the award itself.

Guessing from the image name, it’s a UN related medal. How appropriate here. On the thread in question, I turned up late without the necessary authority or ability to stop the fight. Both parties paid my actions token attention and then continued as before. Classic UN! It could have been worse - both sides could have turned on me and then I’d have been in a right pickle.

#43

Yes the actual medal is a UN medal. But whatever its your choice. If you change your mind later you can where it. If not … then dont. Regardless you have been awarded the medal.

#44

can you allow me to add other ribbon to the list of awards?,i want to search another.

#45

you can give the same ribbon to two different members,because both of them gained it?.

#46

How do you find out if someone is a member or not?

#47

Punisments for signature block infractions? Behave!!!

PS I’m STILL waiting for my Op Telic medal, even though I deployed in October 2002!!! And my Op Telic 3 medal!!!

#48

Does anyone have any objections to making the awards a bit smaller such as Firefly had done???

#49

#52

I think it’s a sound idea, stops sigs getting too large.

#53

I think the medals are an awesome idea! Great way to get people active in the forum, etc. And I nominate Gan. Sandworm for an Outstanding Person Award(Made up but still)

#54

well on the size issue, if they are smaller, it will keep the sig size smaller, but they do look really good how they are right now.

#55

Their should be medals for good threads.

#56

Hello, I want the members of the forum to notice the moderators and adminiastrators that are helping us every day on the forum. I thank we owe them a great thanks. All of them should get a medal of some sort. I owe a great thanks to Panzersnacker and Gen.Sandworm for getting me out of my short posting habit. I thank you for that. Some people are starting to accept for who I really am. Thank you for your time viewers.

#57

I would have to agree with GermanSoldier because these mods and the admins not just for there help but for the kindness.Panzerknaker and Gen.Sandworm are two peeps who we have to all should give great thx to,they are teachers and friends.

#58

I know this sounds stupid, but maybe your rank could be raised for the number of replies you have (From other members) in a thread?

Heh…is this in the right place…?

#59

Wow, I think you’re on to something there. I’ll think about this. This would be a great way to help filter out “junk” posts from “quality” posts.

#60

Yay!! If that happens… I think Panzerknacker will be general soon… XD
