    Rationale

    This change moves the Loincloth to the Large Awards section. The only substantial change this would make is re-sizing the postbit image to accord with the dimensions for large awards, large awards don't inherently have username colors so that wouldn't be granted by this change unless Hex decides to do so of their own volition. It would be listed below the current four. The reason for this is the procedure undergone to obtain the Loincloth directly mirrors the procedure for all Large Awards, including Curial Vote and granting Citizenship, so it should more properly be considered one. Alternatively the procedure could be changed somehow, but it's hard to think of any other way to award something with its criteria, and the members who've received it to date have had to go through the vote procedure, so re-classifying is the preferred method.

    Oppose due to "moar".

    @VP: Indeed, I was going to do so if it seemed like there was opposition, but I guess it will save hassle if they're separate from the get-go. I've done as suggested, this proposal is now purely for the Loincloth change and the other can be found here.

    The loin cloth is a pretty slam dunk. The VotM competition may have some controversity on the details. Why not divide these into two proposals? The worst thing that can happen is that you propose two successful proposals.

    This I can clearly support without waiting to "flesh" out any details.

    Me has supported. I don't understand why we have distinction between awards anyways (Large, medium, small? I mean, come on, we have penis envy already, do we need award envy as well?)

    The basis for this award is totally subjective. It is not a widely distributed award, having gone only to a select few whose real qualifications are more likely related to social group membership than anything else.

    So Oppose.

    More deserving awards, like the POTW, MARRC and the VOTM should be designated as medium or large, as qualifications for these awards entail actual talent and effort.

    I'm not entirely sure why the distinction originally developed. It was a bit haphazardly arranged with respect to a few awards until my Medal Section Cleanup bill six months ago. That bill defined the three types along lines of the way they're received and how big they are in the postbit. So the only real difference in terms of how they appear is precedence of visual real estate.
