Above our avatars on all our forum posts. What did I earn them for? What do they mean? I see others with more and less, with varying amounts of gold and silver, but I can't understand how they're earned exactly.
Those little medals.

Something to do with the number likes you've received and posts you've made. It's a reputation meter, of sorts.

I suppose. But its a little useless when you don't know what they mean.

I just got my 4th silver medal after reaching 1000 posts, so I thought it might be gold for like count and silver for post count, but then there are some people like Reinheart who only have gold medals, no silver. I have no freaking clue.
As far as I can remember, the amounts of medals I've had were:
1 silver
2 silver
3 silver
4 silver
1 gold
1 gold 1 silver
1 gold 2 silver
1 gold 3 silver (here's where it gets weird)
2 gold 3 silver
3 gold 3 silver
3 gold 4 silver (just recently)
Idk why I started getting golds instead of silvers, maybe a glitch? -

It'd be nice to have it explained in a bit more detail.

Maybe a Dev should comment on this.

Original Post: Should Yoshi P wear a black shirt in the next Live Letter? Like this post for yes.
The very next post (by same person) Like this post for no.
This blew some people's 'Likes' overly high and once again, spammed the forums with needless topics.
Due to this, they changed the formula once again. There should be some sort of dev comment or 'forum patch' that happened after Umo's posts that now explains that your 'medal count' is based on a formula that takes in account BOTH how many posts you've made AND how many likes you got.

Personally, I think they should scrap the medals for most of us. Maybe the community reps could 'reward' posters with a medal if over time etc. they truely help the community. This way, people who deserve to be singled-out for their helpfulness and/or mentoring would be rewarded (For example, Reinheart for his work on the JA-English translations thread) ...and silly 'spam the forums/like me! like me! like me!' posts to up 'medal count' might stop. -

•Medallion icon will now be granted depending on the number of times player has pressed the "Like!" button.
Or would silver be the number of peoples posts I like and gold the number of my posts other people like?? or vice versa?
quite confusing really.
I had originally thought it was based on posts but then I see people with more posts and less medals and people with less posts and more medals.
For the lols....
Can legacy people get a platinum medal?..... oh the outrage.....
