Anybody who ever posted more than 3 times to an extreme politard thread is automatically awarded one.
So yeah, most of us are eligible.

Thanks, man! I'll wear it proudly next to my National Service Medal, or whatevah it was called.
I was all like, "Is this some sort of joke? A medal for being a Midshipman for a year?"
BwaHaHaHa!

It would look so good pinned on my tank top next to my ribbons for blind obedience to party doctrine, and trust in the system.
It would be better if it were a little more exclusive and ot worn by...well...everyone.

Reptyle, yeah I wondered about that too. But there are so many great keyboard warriors here!
How do we select the elite? Supertopo Keyboard of Honor? Where only _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ would be eligible?
Number of keystrokes? Number of condescending memes? Number of times you call your fellow posters idiots?
Edit: Lorenzo, it should be centered above the right breast pocket, distinguishing it from your normal rack of ribbons above the left pocket.

eKatMagicSkeezinMama,
Hell no, you don't get one. You'd have to elevate your sh#t slinging game by buttloads to even get in the game.
However, you, NeeBee, Jobee and Nita might be the only ones eligible for the coveted Supertopo Sweetheart Medal. I'll work on it.

Tad, we might be able to sneak through a nomination for you. True, you aren't prolific enough, but the pure beautiful acidity of your rare political posts may get you through the board.
BTW, I arrive in Redding on the 3rd, and the boys tournament is at Foothill.
eKat, STFU, you don't get to design your own medal.......

When do I get mine?
On a slightly more serious note, the theatre of service ribbons helped us to know all the places in which my aunt, a nurse in WWII, served. She never really talked about her service, but after she passed away, we discovered a Number 10 envelope full of her service insignias and decorations, including her second- and first leiutenant bars, and about a million theatre of service ribbons. It showed that she served in the Normandy theatre (in a hospital ship off of Cherbourg, we later found), and innumerable theatres of operations in the Pacific, primarily in the Marianas. Without those ribbons, we would not have known.

Ah, thanks.
So next to the rainbow ribbon, then.

This is so great.
How many posts to get the "sesh" commendation?!!!
And there needs to be a higher recognition for those with the skillset to post more than 100 times to the same PT thread I think.
They need something way more special than the 3 post minimum gang??!!!
Maybe an even higher accolade to the poster that can post 40 or 50 times a day to the same one?
What if they can do it for a week straight??
Perhaps...

Heidi & I had a big afternoon outside today, cutting down a pain in the ass hedge, carting it to the burn barrel, & burning it.
I'm too whipped to add this image to the medal, but I think it belongs, perhaps for the 100 plus posts on politard threads folks.

looked you up. Here since 2008, yet only 1240 posts. Slacker.. I got secondary avatars with more posts.
I believe I was given a field promotion for exemplary service by Locker, or at least Brevetted.
Just embrace the award he gave you. With your cheeks.

What a crock. Medals for loser Supertopo politards? Might as well give medals to anyone who can get out of bed in the morning and stumble to a computer.
But just because I'm not a ST politard wanker doesn't mean I don't want a medal. How about medals for elderly loser climbers? I got the sh#t beat out of me on a 5.9 today, and I think I deserve something more than beer and sushi in a Las Vegas casino/hotel.
I want a medal, too!!!!!!

I thought that was the whole purpose of the award.
But it helps if you stay up really late.
