Ask the Awards Team

[sexy cutie]

question:
in the Awards Request Form..suppose i'd like to do an anime badge but all the free slots are filled up so i have to use the awards request form, yes? it says in the Awards Request Form page

You don't need supporters/keepers for your badge

but during the annual cleanup do we still need to have at least 2 users who have that badge or else it will be deleted? or is can it stay with just me as its keeper?

What the guidelines say is correct, no more than 2 people in an OTP badge.
Any OTP badge with more than 2 people / 2 groups will be rejected~

In the case of Twice, where we have 3MIX (Nayeon, Jeongyeon, Jihyo), J-Line (Momo, Sana, Mina) and School Meal Club (Dahyun, Chaeyoung, Tzuyu), are we no longer able to have badges for them? Or can we just consider them as subunits?

I'm pretty sure they wouldn't be deleted, as they're considered the "unpopular" badges anyways so we don't expect a huge number of people holding them! That's why they're limited, so there's no 50395 badges with only 1 keeper. As long as you keep your badge and it has at least 1 keeper, it should remain in the system.

It's not an official subunit that debuted, so no, they do not count as one. And as there are only 2 people allowed, you won't be able to get the badges for that. Sorry!

Is this mock ok?

 

[Whisky23]

If you have more than one badge, are you able to display just one badge, or are you stuck with the system displaying badges 2-4 as well? (wasn't sure if I should ask here or AAM) Thanks in advance.

the expression is weird but it's not against the rules

No, you can only display one badge if you only have one badge any other badge you own will show up (1 minimum, 4 max)

I made a mistake, can you please reject my request for the GOT badge?

Done!

if a badge wins by a large margin in the preliminary voting round (first place got 10 votes while second place got 4 votes), do we still need to have a final voting round?

Yes, the final round still needs to be held, votes can still turn out differently if you cap them at 1 per category.

Super quick question, would mocks made from black and white images have any chance being accepted?

 

[OutroTearTheFirst]

I have a question about making mock badges! What are the dimensions? Thank you

Of course! B&W images are not against the rules

I have a question about making mock badges! What are the dimensions? Thank you

100x100px with either 20px borders (if made in Photoshop) or 40px (if made in Photoscape).

Brilliant, thank you!

Hello,

I guess the forum is new so this wasn't implemented. But I propose that maybe at a later date there should be criteria in place regarding minimum post count for the awards section voters. When users can simply vote even with zero posts it may cause problem because 1) dupes and 2) skewing votes for those who are legitimately intent on getting and keeping the badge.

He'll definitely try and take that into consideration for the future because you are right, we are too new right now and still have many users registering as of this point!

Hello

I just wanted to check if these mocks are ok

 

[Dollface]

Is it okay to change the background of an individual's badge? For example, if the background is trees can you change it to a plain pink background?
