Captain Zuloo Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 I also wonder who came up with the idea. The developers of Invision Powerboard is my guess. You'll notice on your profile that there is a "Country Flag" and 3 "Special Tag" boxes. These are part of the software, and you'll find them used in similar ways to Eurobricks on other forums running on IPB. Quote
Holodoc Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 No wasn't it like xwingyoda? or snefroe (classic space tag)?I also wonder who came up with the idea. I don´t know for sure but I would bet on Sne and the classic space tag as well. Quote
Piranha Posted November 6, 2009 Posted November 6, 2009 I don´t know for sure but I would bet on Sne and the classic space tag as well. Yea that is the only one I seem to remember unless Country Flags count because those have been around for awhile too. Quote
BillytheKid Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 Why can't people ask about their countryflag? In this way you can see where they form? Quote
Siegfried Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 Why can't people ask about their countryflag? In this way you can see where they form? I can think of several reasons, but the biggest one is that we have 7208 members. The staff has better things to do than give out tags to that many people... Quote
Shadows Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 Why can't people ask about their countryflag? In this way you can see where they form? You're from The Netherlands, we can see it under your name. Graphics are prizes and have to be manually added. Adding 7200 flags would be a bit of trouble, wouldn't it? Edit: Hi Siegfried who got here just before me. Quote
Siegfried Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 Edit: Hi Siegfried who got here just before me. Hi Shadows! So you don't want to add flags to 7208 profiles either? Glad to hear it! Is there a deeper mystery and code to these tag locations, or are the tag-masters just being messy? In a lot of cases we have moved the tag to the server but we haven't got around to updating all the profiles. Are you volunteering? No wasn't it like xwingyoda? or snefroe (classic space tag)? Sne I think was first. What came next I can't remember, but I think it could have been the Viking helms. My bucket is rather old as well. I also wonder who came up with the idea. Invision. It's a board feature and we're just using it. Quote
Ricecracker Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 Hi Shadows! So you don't want to add flags to 7208 profiles either? Glad to hear it! But once you split it up between all the staff it'll take a lot less time. Way to over-exagerate Quote
Siegfried Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 But once you split it up between all the staff it'll take a lot less time. Way to over-exagerate What do you mean? That was the current member number, and two more have joined since. It'll still be 750 or so profiles per staff member. Quote
WhiteFang Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 Just to note that, we (EB Staff) do have our primary responsbilities allocated to us that we need to attend to on our daily basis, and we don't operate like a 24/7 convenience outlet. Quote

Shucks, can I still stop buy late at night for a slurpee? j/k, you staff do a great job, very stealth like. Quote
badboytje88 Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 This sure is a handy dandy topic. I never new that you needed to earn the tags. Better start behaving! Quote

Sorry, I guess it came out wrong. I was just trying to make a joke, but that obviously didn't work. Just to note that, we (EB Staff) do have our primary responsbilities allocated to us that we need to attend to on our daily basis, and we don't operate like a 24/7 convenience outlet. Of course. And just to add to that, not all members state their country, so it'd be even harder. Quote
Luke McAwesome Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 (edited) This sure is a handy dandy topic. I never new that you needed to earn the tags. Better start behaving! You've mostly got to earn them these days. Especially Country Flag Tags, you don't have to be a Fellow or Staff member to have them; for example Captain Zuloo and others. But they do a lot around here. I have the Reviewer's Academy Bronze tag because I worked hard in the Reviewer's Academy and earned it. But then again, whether you work or not, as long as you graduate from the RA, you get the tag regardless. Edited November 23, 2009 by Striker Quote
Jebediahs Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 This sure is a handy dandy topic. I never new that you needed to earn the tags. Better start behaving! I love the fact that you have to put in work to be rewarded with a tag. It keeps the receipt of a tag special and an actual accomplishment. Pft... kids nowadays think they should be handed everything... ::walks off in a huff:: ORC! Quote

def Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 I really want a country tag. I accept I won't get one. Anytime soon. What Eurobricks tag do you want, and don't expect to get anytime soon? <This thread is only meant to stoke the Eurobricks flame, not antagonize it> Quote
Saint Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 Country tag would be nice.. Can't see the SW tag comming soon though .. oh well, at least my EB-number is also my birthyear, not anybody can say that ! Quote
Clone OPatra Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 I'm not a MOD or anything (outside of Community), but I don't like this topic because it seems to me very close to asking for tags, or hinting at them. Just like hinting at a a title will not get you anywhere, I think hinting at tags is also not so good. If the staff thinks you deserve a certain tag for whatever reason, they will give one to you. But in most cases, you can't ask. Quote
Fugazi Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 I don't really care about tags but I'm curious... What makes one deserve a country flag? Strong patriotism?! Quote
Rick Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 What makes one deserve a country flag? I think members with a staff or fellow rank get a country flag. Quote
hewkii9 Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 I hope to one day earn a MoC Expert tag, just because of all that that accolade implies Quote
Captain Zuloo Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 I don't really care about tags but I'm curious... What makes one deserve a country flag? Strong patriotism?! Staff, Fellows and a handfull of other special members who have gone the extra mile to contribute to EB can be rewarded with a country tag. Quote
Ratshot Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 (edited) A Canadian flag, I don't think anyone has one here on EB. There might be someone who is inactive, I don't know Edited February 3, 2010 by Ratshot Quote

But in most cases, you can't ask. I know that asking for tags is verbotten (months ago I asked for a country tag and lo and behold, I don't have one ). So I thought it would be fun to talk about the ones you want or aspire to. I never make MOCs, but I'm jealous of those with a MOC expert tag. Really, I'm not hinting at anything, just trying to start a new topic that came into my head Quote
