    A 'diploma' medal does sound good for those that take the time to take these courses, this seems like a good idea. Support.

    support! great idea Publius


    one suggestion though
    instead of bronze etc
    Bachelor Degree in Modding, Masters Degree in Modding, DMod (Doctor of Modding)... after all, this is a university!!!

    but if you think thats too silly or complicated or dull or whatever i do support the original anyway

    maybe add an extra medal for any professor who sucessfully teaches at least 1 class (sucess to be determined by the senior staff/university director/whoever) - Professor of Modding.

    Why waste one's breath stating what everyone knows already! I'll just vote against it.

    Seriously, I think it is odd to hand out medals for having learned something in a course instead having learned the same thing from tutorials and such, like most modders have. Give the professors a medal though. They deserve it for their selfless efforts.

    The Professor420 Remembrance medal

    In order to qualify for this medal, the prospect must have completed at least 2 courses as a professor. In addition to that he must have been banned twice (at least) and be a very controversial member!
