Because we have them for number of posts as well, seems repetitive don't you think?

Yeah, that's the biggest issue.

Can anyone recommend something Oddworld-related that:
-would make for a good icon
-isn't already in use
-scales down well
?

I wonder if anyone's made pixel art of Live Ammo...

SpooceShrubs. There are green and pink varieties, after all.

Can we not just keep them the way they are? Or at least (if possible) give the forums an option to switch between rep bar types if they don't like it?

What do you guys think of this: http://i.imgur.com/OA4P1.png

e: red eyes optional.

That's pretty cool, I'd change the red eyes though.

Which is better:

The 2nd one.

After Ridg3's post, I see no images in those that follow. It's like you're referring to empty spaces.

Referring to your head!

Because you're a big stupid.

They're hosted on imgur, so here's the one everyone likes rehosted on TinyPic: http://i53.tinypic.com/io27fc.png

e: I had problems with imgur images not loading until I reset my router, try that if you can't get them working.

e2: ahaha I just went to the User CP and was confronted by tons of little blurry faces. Didn't realise those icons would change as well.

Well done OH, that second one is really nice...perhaps they get purpler as more are accumulated to determine when someone has broken through the 500 mark, just a suggestion.

This.

The glukkon one looks cool. I think we should use the happy face and recolour it.

PS, Here's my rep proposal icon I whipped up just now :)

downs sligs? =F

I like them. If you can improve them a little bit such as making them less blury, that would be awesome.

What about a bar... something like this?

Made of sections 1 pixel wide, and you get an extra bar every 10 rep.

I could make a native-looking pole or industrial pipe or something too, if the sections were wider (and gained every 100 rep, or with the current calculation).

It's just so difficult to make good-looking icons at such a small scale... I'm used to 32x32 pixel art.

^ This is also a good idea! Awk, too many good ideas! *faints.

Sounds like a good idea, but sorting out the bar behaviour would likely take some coding, and the admins are lazy gits (or so I've heard).

They are and it won't.

Well it shouldn't anyways.

I don't actually like the bar. It looks abit sloppy to me... But then again I'm quite happy with the way they look now anyway.

Although the Glukkons posted earlier look really good.

Yes well, the bar doesn't like you.

It is, I just made it to illustrate the idea.

And yet, neater than the Mudokon faces. The idiot that made those should be fired.

I'm err, I'm just going to go and inspect these faces that aren't mine, away from you, but there not made by me.

We are, but we don't have access to anything more powerful than vB's shitty admin CP. Hint: That doesn't let us change the bar behaviour.

You're a poo poo face!

Also, I like enchilado's idea. Having two different types of symbols doesn't give rep enough variety.

Or just use plain numbers.

Slig rep icons version 2. Made them look more normal.
Do you like the first three or the last three better?

Dunno..maybe you could make them a bit more definable? At first I wasn't even aware they were sligs untill you mentioned they were.

With all due respect Alex, I don't think anybody cares. EDIT: That is to say no-one's mentioned them at all since you las posted them. They're good... but people don't seem interested.

I've officially got used to the new icons now. I'd still like them spaced out a bit though.

Nobody complained about enchilado's bars or OddHunter's glukkon. All I'm doing is suggesting my own rep icons. If you don't like them, fine, that's your choice.

My main gripe at the moment is that the current rep icons aren't wide enough and the green one needs some work.

Negative <-> Positive

What do you think?

I actually really like those.. They are very well defined and clean... And the colors are non-intrusive :)

Maybe just bung a column of blank pixels on the right though.

I like the current ones... but if they're going to be changed again, what about Glukkons for positive and Mudokons for negative?

Or Glukkons for Industrial, Mudokons for Native?

Looking at how the icons go with the backgrounds, that would probably be a good idea.

I actually think the glukkons stack really well as they are, but if everyone else thinks otherwise I can add a bit of space no problem.

That would bring us back to the issue with blurry muds, though.
