The "PC Supporter" wording leaves a bit to be desired because it implies, by definition, that one without a shield is not a supporter. Since a member has to notify admin of the fact one has supported the site and the details of their support (with the exception perhaps of # of posts), those who aren't aware of that or don't wish to be so identified are in fact "excluded" which makes the whole program a bit flawed.

The 3+ and 5+ year scrolls appear computer-generated and innocent enough but make me laugh because I see them as helps to me in case I can't add 3 or 5 to a member's join date which is also displayed. I picture a time when the majority of members have a scroll or shield or whatnot displayed which will make them common and relatively meaningless.

I would like to see everyone allowed to do their own thing. Why not make 6-8 various attributes with their "rights" to display explained in a member's personal profile selections and people can apply for and choose which ones they want displayed.
