## MOD Title: Award Icons
## MOD Author: Joe Belmaati < belmaati@gmail.com > (Joe Belmaati) N/A
## MOD Description: The general idea is that Admin can assign icons
## to each user based on achievements. For instance in a college
## fraternity forum, a user could be awarded three beer mugs,
## and one pair of cheerleader panties (symbolized by the small icons).
## Or, for a rap fan site, users could be awarded two mics,
## a Hummer, and a Roleo. Other obvious uses include sites with
## RPG's. For instance, for a Lord 'O' The Rings fan site,
## users could be awarded an Ork, two Urukhais, and a Balrog.
## The list goes on. You get an assignment system in the ACP
## where you can add icons and assign them to users.
##
## There is a categories system that allow the admin
## to restrict icons to certain users. This system includes
## restricting categories of icons to certain groups (1 group per
## category). The moderator from that group will then be able to
## assign icons from that category to members of his/her group.
## You can also allow certain trusted members to be Award Icons
## moderators. These people will then be able to assign Award Icons
## to everyone (except Admin) - unless the particular icon is in a
## category reserved for the Admin only.
##
## Step 1: Upload icons to the images/user_icons directory
## (you can also create sub directories
## for instance images/user_icons/monkeys/,
## images/user_icons/apes/ etc etc.
## Step 2: Go to the ACP module named Add Award Icons.
## Add the filenames to your newly uploaded icons,
## add icon names and icon descriptions.
## Step 3: Go to the ACP module named Assign Award Icons.
## Find the user that should receive icons,
## and add the filename to the icon. After succesful
## assignment of icon you can browse to that
## user again in the same module to make sure
## that the correct icon was assigned.
## Step 4: You're done!
##
## Optional: If you want to auto install the bundled in icons
## you will have an option to do so if you upload and run
## db_update.php to your phpBB root folder. This file will also
## handle the database changes necessary to accomodate this MOD.
## There are also separate install scripts for each icon batch
## in the docs folder.

♣ This is so useless that my eyes hurt. Wow, i got myself an icon... That doesnt even belong to me... My e-reputation got bigger... I am a real champ now... Common people. Seriously.
Congratulations on not providing constructive criticism, I voted yes; it seems we have two threads about this now, obviously it's a demanded feature.

Re: User Awards*
I have voted yes.
But, i think, we can make it manually. By add a rank for reach that amount of post ?
Or yea, if its add on forum, with award, then its great. Like i have seen it in some popular forums.
And, i saw, they can use more awards for different winners in portal. And, Admin team are able to put different award picture, and winner's name with their posts or points.

Re: User Awards*
I'd really love this. It would be great for things like graphics comps, donators and just overall silliness (e.g. cute award)
Re: User Awards*
I have seen this on a board I am a member of, and I believe it would be great for Forumotion.

Re: User Awards*
Thanks for reviving this SL Gray!
I have seen this on IPB, Jcink, Proboards, Phbb3 and many other forum hosts.
It should be done by now really.
Forumotion is great, the support is amazing, but new tech and functionalities come wayyy to late here.

Voted yes. Would be cool to have a message sent on visitor message for reaching a selected amount of posts by the admin with the NEW rank added similar to Vanilla forums.

Re: User Awards*
Votes YES as long as it can be added without the admin having to add it all by hand like we have to now 

Re: User Awards*
But, will they considering this idea? Or we just keep voting / creating meanless suggestion post? 
A positive response from company leaders is more realistic and meaningful than let their costumers nurture illusion.
