    KH-Vids.net New Years/Anniversary:

    Pins

    So some of you may have noticed the new 'Pins' tab on your profile. Wondering what that is? Well wonder no longer! In celebration of our recent anniversary as well as the new year, the KH-Vids.net staff is proud to present the new Pin system!

    What is the Pin System?
    Pins are 'awards' or 'badges' of sorts given to those who complete certain events or meet certain requirements. They're just a fun way to commemorate important accomplishments on the site.

    How Do I Get Pins?
    You may request a Pin after completing an event or requirement, or a moderator/administrator will award one to you.

    Do the Pins Give Me Any Sort of Advantage?
    No, there is no special section or anything for those who have a certain number of Pins, so don't worry and just have fun with it!

    How it Works:
    Pins are classified in two ways:

    [​IMG] Event Pins, which are awarded through many forum wide events.

    [​IMG] Achievement Pins, which are awarded after meeting certain specific criteria.

    After meeting a requirement or completing an event, you can request a Pin (if a staff member has not already awarded it to you). The Pin will be displayed under the 'Pins' tab on your profile for all to see, and your name will be displayed on the Pin showcase page to show that you have recieved that Pin. Pins do not expire or disappear.

    To start the Pin system off with a bang, the first 50 responders to this thread will be awarded the KH-Vids 2010 Anniversary Pin! This is a limited edition first come, first serve Pin which will only be awarded to these 50 members. Please note that after the first 25 replies, the thread will be temporarily locked; it will be reopened later so as to make the Pin fair game to those of all time zones.

    We hope you enjoy collecting and displaying these Pins, and thanks for sticking with us for another year! Here's to a great 2011.

    All the best,

    The KH-Vids.net Staff

    YES! THE PIN IS MINE!

    I quite like this idea. But, if the staff award them, what exactly is the point of requesting it?

    Requesting basically notifies the staff to award you with a Pin. It's useful if we forget to award you a Pin you deserve or as soon as you complete an event to let us know you're finished. <:

    The Pin System is not automated. So we may overlook a member for any reason or the other. So, if you think you meet the criteria of the pin, you can request and we'll add it to your pins tab.

    I don't know if I like this idea...I mean, I do and I don't. The competitive side of me though must be suppressed.

    The majority of the pins won't be used in competitive things, and mostly will be awarded through events that don't require competition, or through general achievements. That said the pin system is entirely in staff control, and we expect members not to do any mischief just to get a pin.

    Hope you enjoy.

    Just made a stupid short post so I can get my pin. :P

    Anyway, this does seem like an interesting idea. I wonder what's going to happen when the great Pin War breaks out...

    I think people who were here before vBulletin and are still active should get a 'veteran' pin. BD
