I would love some idea's from you guys to help this get created.

examples being

Need awards that people would either grind for or reach over time

Try to stay as close to the format provided above but i honestly don't mind free form as long as you give a good description of what your award does.

Feel like a Year Of Service badge would be more appropriate similar to how Steam is then maybe we could use the Elite, Veteran, etc. for a different use?

I forget the website that keeps track of the best plays on JB, but I would implement that. Top player overall gets a prize, like a special title on their name when they are in the server. But if someone beats the top player they gain the title as best player. so it creates a salty competition between players on the server. Keeps it fun and spicy.

Award: "x Donator" ($25+ Donator, $50 Donator, $100 Donator, etc.)
Description: For people who have donated x amount to the community. Would scale up with the amount of money donated, starting at $5 or $10.

Don't go off topic plz

Rather a rank name change? To Administrator / Moderator (Maybe Both, Moderator lower than Adminstrator(?)). Higher ranks, Staff+ position? Why not give a change to ALL ranks to avoid the mentality of the roles and expectations of Staff+

That being said, I do still feel there should be ranks (even if they are community ranks, not clan) it would give members something to stay motivated enough to climb above, contribute. Few perks(?) as a way of saying "thanks!" (maybe we can stick to the current rank names we have now) just to show contribution that they have made to clan but EVERYONE starting as a community member(?). They can be in the form of a badge to avoid the mentality of ranks, per se, but just something for people who contribute to the community.

Award names aren’t serious, or maybe they are, but it was mixed with boredom and well, boredom

Noticed that a lot of what I had put down aren't necessarily "awards" but considering there is no ranking structure and this badge / award system is suppose to replace it, I would say it's an appropriate addition.
