In our ongoing efforts to improve WinCustomize and make participating and contributing more fun and fulfilling for our skinners, we're looking at changing around how certain systems related to user reward work.  The first one is the Medals system.

Currently automatically award Medals to users for hitting any number of milestones here on WinCustomize.  We track who's the top skinner across the entire site, who is the best in any particular gallery, how many downloads are achieved etc.  This information is mostly displayed on your personal page.  It's a lot of data to sift through, and it's something we need to do a better job of presenting and highlighting. 

To that end, we're looking for feedback on the current user medal system.

• What do you like about the current system?
• What do you dislike about the current system?
• What are your favorite awards?
• What are your least favorite awards?
• What awards do you think we should add?
• How do you think we could improve presentation and meaning of the awards?

Any feedback you have on this system is more than welcome.  We'll be taking it into account when revising things, though we can't promise every suggestion will be implemented.  This is the first step in a chain that we hope will lead to greater focus being placed on individual users, as well as a more equitable distribution of recognition.
