I've held positions as leader and officer in unions and I've seen a trend of high initial activity followed by little to not activity for months for new unions and a creeping decline in activity for established unions. Anyone who has held one of these positions can tell you that it can be extremely hard to keep union interest.

That's why I'm recommending that union leaders be authorized to create or select from a created list emblems that can be distributed/awarded to active recruits and show up in their profile screens.

I don't know why but people will do back flips for them or the idea of possible obtaining a new one. The reason is mainly as a reward system much like giving out the "vote rocker" emblem to keep union activity from fluctuating drastically.

I say no, there are unions that offer there own emblem system, but it can get very hard to maintain and keep track of that many people and emblems, plus the GS Profile is for things created by GS only (with the exception of the on emblem by 123Dan123)

It could be abused, unions created just to give out those emblems.

I 100% agree with you on this.

While some unions have started to create "profiles" fot there members to earn emblems in I DO NOT think it should ever go beyond that.

Yeah, I think such a system would be too easily abused and misused.

If such a system did exist, they would have to place many restrictions on it, and it just doesn't seem like a worthwile way for GS to spend their time.

I see no use for this. Unless members only got them in a Unoin Profile thing that is only at the Union.

If Leaders and officers could give out Emblems to users GS Profile as well as add thier own, there would be no way to keep up with them all in the Emblems Guide.

If they do add a union profile in the union update(s), then it would be something great, but only that.

Plus the decision to have this would not be based off of whether people could keep up the emblem guide.
