BYC is made up of thousands of wonderful members, each one offering their knowledge, enthusiasm, compassion, and other gifts in unique, individual ways. We love to recognize them, and for this reason we developed an awards nomination system. Members can nominate another member for an award through this process, found on the BYC Recognition Awards thread.

This is cool and helpful, thanks! (Just want to mention that there's a typo on the description of "Winner!". It should be "one", not "on". Sorry for being picky! :P)

Instead of Calling the 4 yrers old or seasoned can we call them slow learners that just sounds more fun since this is really a fun forum . Smiles OK so im a red head LOL wow 4 yrs .I bet they learned a lot or shared a lot in that time and do deserve to be honored .

Who updates active member awards?

Nifty-Chicken 10/2/12 at 8:54am

Usually an admin will update the awards for individual members.

a question: if someone earned 'greeter' and then suddenly stopped greeting people, does he/she lose her badge? just wondering.

From time to time our team evaluates various awards and looks to see if the people with the awards are still active and meeting the requirements and/or values of the award. If not, then the award may be removed either permanently or temporarily.
