I would like to make a suggestion for the gamespot community. I was thinking that perhaps gamespot would consider the idea of anniversary emblems for the community. Gamespot users could get an emblem for their profile for being on one year then if they are on for 2 years they get a different aniversary emblem that replaces the previous one. This would be a rotating emblem in the sence that users can have only one anniversary emblem for the amount of time that users have been here on gamespot. I think that this might promote some longevity in users staying here and it would be neat to have something special to recognise users who enjoy being a part of the community. Thank you for your consideration in this matter.8)

I really like this idea, I wouldn't mind having it. Just as long as they make it spiffy looking, or have an emblem contest for users to create one themselves.

Good idea.. but i've been around on GS for over 15 years.. going way way back when we posted on CNet forums and it was a requirement that your real name was your username. Things have changed here at GS since those days.. wow have they changed. And it's awesome!

I too like this idea as I, for some strange reason, like to know how long people have been on GS.

I think it's a great idea. I'm sure all GS users would like to be 'rewarded' for the length of time they have been here.

like you i am interested in knowing how long people have been here on gs. Also this information might help new members become more comfortable by allowing them to turn to more experiance users with questions they might have.

Great idea,

How about giving that emblem only to users who come to gamespot most of the days of the year (got this idea from fastesttruk).

about my thoughts: How about giving an emblem for user's after 6 mnth's form singing in . and after that replacing it with a new one after completting a full year. and after that replacing  it with a new one after comopletting 2,5 years.

hope you like the idea

I don't really think this is needed.  You have a date as to when you first joined GameSpot in your profile.

Year 2, 5, 10... should have an emblem and you can only have one of them. So if you are here for 5 years then you don't have the 2 year emblem.

So yeah, I would like the idea to be implemented.

not a bad idea...it would encourage members to stick around for longer i guess...i guess it should require that members actually use the accounts tho...ppl that have long left and forgotten about their accounts dnt really deserve such an emblem...altho i guess it wouldn't matter if they were given one either...they just would never really see it... overall it's a nice idea, altho not really necessary...it would almost be like getting an emblem for free...

Stupid. In my opinion emblems have to be earned, and getting an emblem for being a Gamespot member for a year isn't hard work. You could just join and then have the emblem one year later with minimal activity.

If Gamespot did decide to have this emblem available it should be for a year of great contributions to Gamespot, and even then people would spam all over the site to get it.

Why do people care so much about emblems.

I don't think that new comers will even last 5 or 10 years not to mention 20. Anyway it sound like a good idea...

i have to agree, anyone could just make a GS account, then come back 2 years later and they would have "earned" the emblem without even doing anything. sign up date is already shown in everyones profile. i dont think anyone needs a new little badge just to show people 'i was here before you'

I like the idea.  I think it rewards loyalty.  I would think that some would not like just because there was no one using their accounts for so long.  On the flipside of that, I think that after six months of no activity, the account should be deleted.

I support this. It certainly does show your support and activity in the community... unlike the many live feed emblems
