Re: [Decision] Tiered Milestone Awards

My proposal was simply to add lower tiers like you are proposing here while giving the option for a Bronze/Silver Award that is attainable without being entirely reliant on spam, much like how the 15 year rule was added to the milestone award a few years ago. An award entirely dedicated to/only possible to achieve vis post count is a bad idea IMO for the reasons Halie stated.
Stop talking on my behalf, dammit!

On the contrary, the actual reasoning is quite consistent as each of the thresholds represent a big achievement by itself, as it was originally intended with the first iteration of the award and as agreed by basically every one who supported and voted yes during the last update. (17 yes, 2 no.. just saying)
I am not following those criteria on purpose.
This was pretty evident since the OP, it is clear by now that this amendment is more pointed toward overhauling the sense of this award than making it more comprehensive as per the original intent which made Halie propose it, or: the Milestone Award is meant to be given after an exceptional goal has been reached. This amendment only devalues it.
