    So, are people who use the Bird as their avatar, trademark infringement??

    Bring on the attorneys....

    That's not a bad idea. I really don't like the "star" that came with the mod. Hopefully you guys can help us find a better "star".

    Either would work nicely IMHO.

    I would be happy just to get three green pips or whatever you call them. I seem to be going backwards here lately. I have only been getting reds, nobody gives me green for anything!

    I do like how this site keeps things fresh though with new ideas and it is worth the member fee alone just for some of the practical advice I have received from members who have helped me fix both my computer problem and my DVR problem!

    How about a beer?

    I'm bummed that we can't use the cartoon bird, I really really like it. Hearkens back to a time when everything was right and good with the O's....

    Maybe just using a simple check mark? I dunno. It'll be tricky to incorporate something interesting and meaningful to the O's without trademark infringement.

    And anything else, like a checkmark, star...will just be boring in comparison...

    You'll notice that all of the paid operational staff start at 3 Super Pips. That was the boss' idea, and it make sense - if it's about board 'reputation' - the inmates running the asylum should be at the top.

    BTW, it was my idea (and originally suggested by TonySoprano) to make Tony stand out.

    Does that mean when folks like yourself and Tony give a rep. point that it vastly increases my (or the receivers) total? (Of course the converse I guess would be true if you hand out a red). Just curious.

    I appreciate the explanation, and really, I trust you know I myself was just teasing, it's very cool and makes sense.

    I just noticed that Drungo has only 1 star. Does that mean that the articles he writes are done free of charge?

    They don't actually own the letter 'O' do they?

    People using the bird as their avatar aren't profiting.

    OH is a business that takes money...if they use the bird as part of their site they would be profiting off of it. An individual who posts here using it is not accepting money so I don't see how it can be trademark infringement anymore than walking around town wearing an O's cap.

    Nope, but excellent question. Staff still give rep at +/- 15 per clip.

    Yep, no problem, it deserved explaining nonetheless...
