After a particularly stunning donation was made the other day to help keep our little community alive, we decided that such acts are needful of recognition, so we created the WF Guardian medal. Members who donate a minimum of $100.00 to the forum within a 365 day period (a rolling year) will be permanently awarded the WF Guardian medal for their outstanding support and community concern. As of today we will be taking into account all donations made through the forum donation feature on the main page and also from the fundrazr drive that was held in January. Please pardon any delay in applying deserved medals as we gather the information for donations made outside the regular paths of donation. If you donate anonymously there is no way for us to track that, and we will assume that your choice to remain anonymous would extend to the awarding of such decorations. The forum staff reserves the right to award this medal for non-monetary acts of awesome, which, due to the nature of awesome, cannot be predetermined or preordained. We'll know them when we see them. You may pick a graphic to your liking or fly our quill logo in the circle. Standard forum rules for images and trademarks will apply.
Really nice initiative! Now lets hope this grows into an entire guild of guardians to protect the forum for an eternity!
Will payments done through the "account upgrades" page add to this, or will it be completely separate from the Supporter badge?
It will absolutely count. I'm not sure if these donations show up in the list along with those made through the new donation feature that Daniel installed. If not, Daniel has already let me know that he can get me the info. So, yes. It will count.
