The subreddit has had a fairly eventful history in its 7 years, with a steady flow of memes, discussion posts, wishlists and suggestions. We've survived through many different controversies and ingame bugs (announcement of OT-only content for BF2015, helmetless stormtroopers, power-blasting Lando, November 2017) and its amazing to many of us to see how far the subreddit has come. So to celebrate this event, we're going to be introducing our Community Awards.
Community Awards
For those who aren't aware, Community Awards are system of custom user-given awards (similar to Reddit Premium Silver, Gold and Platinum awards) that are specific to each subreddit. We've taken a few of your suggestions from the 190k announcement as well as our own ideas to make this set of awards. Here's a list of a few of the awards:
DICE PLS (Awarded to posts that you believe deserve extra attention from the developers.
Just Like The Simulations (Awarded to outstanding posts that features the older games in the franchise.)
Iden Lul (Awarded to excellent memes on Sithpost Saturday.)
Chosen One (Awarded to posts which feature cool clips/plays.)
Pride and Accomplishment (Awarded to people who should have a sense of pride and accomplishment for their post.)
Armchair Developer (Awarded to users who clearly know more about game development than actual game developers.)
Drew The Commando (Awarded to outstanding artistic posts.)
Inferno Approved [Mod-Only Award] (Awarded to posts that the subreddit moderators want to recognize.)
Even though those are the intended uses for each Award, you can still give posts any of the above awards (e.g giving an art post a 'Chosen One' award.) Award suggestions can be sent to the Moderators via modmail, but each award must have an intended purpose.
From all of the subreddit moderators, it's definitely been a unique opportunity to be able to be apart of an online community that's so dedicated to the Battlefront franchise. We've witnessed so many changes in the games and in the subreddit over the past few years, but it's still great to see some of the same faces around - and lots of new ones! From all of us, thank you to making this subreddit one of the best places to discuss the Battlefront games.
May the Force be with you.
