Why always the fighting?

... I demand we have a mascot

Our mascot is Bob the table.

I believe it's obvious who our mascot is..

No it's Bob. Does Le Burrito Souper laugh at "plot" in the Asylum IRC? Hmmmm?

Oooh, right.
I made him. How could I forget?

I hope there'll be a way to make npc's in LoE (maybe a contest ). I want Bob in there That would be amazing

I'm going to vector him. (Don't let this stop you from making him)

If there is one thing I've learned in my almost 15 years on the Earth, it's that no one, and I mean NO ONE, can give a truly unbiased judgement unless they have literally no knowledge of anything. But then it becomes a random vote.
I've seen it happen far too much everywhere, happens to me almost all the time when something bad happens.

That makes me sad to read. There are good people in the world, you know, more than you realize. You might need to look for them, but they'll show up sooner or later. And you have to get rid of your own wants if you want to accept an unbiased judgement or you'll think everyone else is the problem.

I know there are good people in the world, where did that come? Bias is not necessarily a bad thing.
Seriously, where in the hay do people pull stuff like you did from?

What I understood is that you think people not only don't choose what's right, but nobody cannot choose what's right. They either judge with a biased view or they judge in something they know absolutely nothing about. That is what I, and I'm sure others too, view as corrupt and ignorant people.
When you said "I've seen it happen far too much everywhere, happens to me almost all the time when something bad happens." I honestly believed that most people were oppressing your opinions and your rights to be heard. I'm sorry I was wrong and I'm glad to hear you're not in that situation.

And Azure may have clarified what you meant by a completely unbiased judgement

Any opinion that someone gives on anything will always be biased, because it is based off the things they know, believe, or witness..

That's not what I believe to be unbiased, but I can accept it. (It's true that can be called bias, but I understand bias to be ignoring facts and accepting an unsupported belief -- or choosing favorites over facts)
Here's the dictionary definition. Verb (used with object): to cause partiality or favoritism in (a person); influence, especially unfairly.

youre taking a lot of things for granted here and with mods like perry i doubt there will be anyone getting one of those badge unless its his favourite users. i still say no, this is a decent idea that wont work too well in reality

I'm not taking things for granted. I'm taking a risk (not me personally, but you understand, right?) and you can't know what'll happen until you try. This is something that could turn out very helpful for new members. The worst thing that can happen is that'll it turn like the karma system, which they got rid of.

That shouldn't happen if what Tekner describes is the system

I vote yes on some conditions. No matter what systen we use, popularity will always play a role in who is most rewarded by other users. There has to be some intervening, unbiased (as unbiased as you can get, anyway) force that oversees any system that is designed to make certain people stand out over others.

What I think should happen is that nominations should be allowed by users. A user can only nominate another user once, ever. Nomination happens based on a post and the nominating user must give a reason why this person should gain a badge. On the moderator side, they can see which users have nominations and how many. Once a user has enough nominations, they can click on that user and see what reasons the other users gave and under what context (the post they were nominated for.) It will then be up to the moderators to decide who gets a badge.

[/spoiler]

The reason why this is being suggested is for the community, as you've seen, most of the problems and questions answered are by the community. You rarely see any of the mods, so it's difficult to talk to them. As for the community, they can help more easily and can be seen as closer and nicer because we're all peers here. Especially new members, if they want to ask something in private, but the mods haven't been answering, they can look for people with the badge.

this sounds better but im not convinced yet. letting the users decide only means that people can go around asking for nominations, or someone might refuse to nominate someone they know deserve it because they dont like them. its probably going to be more of a popularity contest than anything else

Unless the mods screw up, they should be able to give an unbiased judgement, because there's a reason on the post and the post itself.

i dunno, i think it sounds like a bad idea. First of all, how are you going to see if someone has been helpful or not? Maybe they have been twice or something and the mods saw that, but someone whos been working their butt off for whatever reason and trying to be helpful was never noticed by any mods and then the first one gets it.

Once someone gets the badge, are they still going to make an effort or will they start ignoring others because they already have it?

There are several other reasons i say nay as well, but since we now have a forum that is free from elitism i sort of wish we could keep it that way. Do you have to add something just for the sake of having something that makes others seem a little better than the rest?
