Loose talk is noose talk.

Dear Bungie Community,

What follows is an idea to encourage good behavior through new site features, and for other purposes.

What if, instead of a simple colored bar members received upon good behavior, we got more? More as in access to exclusive avatars, exclusive backgrounds, exclusive information, and other exclusive goodies.

For instance, ranked-up members (Heroic and higher) would be able to select super special avatars tailor made for them, choose an exclusive background for their profile, receive exclusive information from Bungie, earn the ability to choose pre-made custom titles for themselves, and perhaps receive a reserved spot during one of DeeJ's ride alongs. And it need not be limited to just ranked up members.

There was once an idea on this site - Bnet Achievements. I say, that was and still is a jolly good idea, but more than points must be offered. Simply put, achieve certain Bnet Achievements, and unlock more swag (avatars, custom titles, and the like).

Another possibility is for those who play future Bungie games, and unlock achievements/trophies in those games. They should receive unlockable swag here on the forums.

As a final venue for unlockable swag, I leave you with the simple words of: Bungie run contests. The possibilities are endless, so I shan't list them here.

I now leave you, the Community, to discuss this idea and either support it or deconstruct it down to nothingness.

Love,

Bob Bobinson

PS Don't discuss coup here, because this is not related to coup in any way whatsoever. Coup is an unofficial, community maintained script feature. What I am asking for is an official, Bungie maintained site feature.

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

I thought you meant swag, SWAG. Like tangible stuff. :/

This still sounds interesting. Unique forum customization is cool.

Oh yeah theres that, many people are starting to get the new coup and for now we can have whatever avatar we want.

But that is only for a select group of people.

I am aware of coup. In fact, I have it installed. However, you may have noticed that it is unofficial; i.e. not maintained by Bungie. What I am asking for is for official site features, maintained and operated by our all-powerful overseers. Why? Because not everyone has coup.

More incentive for good posts always seems good to me.

Though my opinion seems biased.

Кланяються мені!

I would think the incentive to make good posts would be the ruthlessness of the banhammer. Bungies tough love program seems to keep order around here.

Not saying I don't enjoy the idea of being rewarded for my years of dedicated rule abiding fandom :)

I'm not sure if I should be scared or amazed. Anyways, others have already given ideas on tangible stuff, and we already have swag bags.
