About 1600 posts ago, I made a post enquiring the possibility of satirising the mod/admin/newsposter badges for the purpose of a sig. I was told that it was ok, but told not to use it as an avatar due to the fact that it may make me appear to be a member of staff. The original poster of this thread seems to be confused as well.

I don't know if your avatar is a good thing, dude. :no:

In fact, I am dedicating the rest of this post to a plea to mods/admin to disallow this type of avatar. Once or twice I've found myself temporarily mistaking users with this avatar to been neowin staff, once to the point of almost pm'ing one.

I don't think the entire staff will be changing their names.

not me

btw, i think it should be removed. if you want a badge, donate to the site, or get a year subscription. instead of trying to fake people out.

I agree too. Without a second glance, you think you are reading the post of a staff member - even more so a purple badge indicates the definitive answers of an admin. :(

Like 'Chode' said, I think the badges are too confusing and misleading for avatars, and should be restricted to signatures if not entirely.

neowin s.w.a.t.?

It's kinda a joke. I just thought that NeoWin needed a S.W.A.T. team. If we can have pro's, why not a S.W.A.T. team? All in fun of course. :D :p

In all seriousness, it happened again today, me mistaking the badge at first glance to mean an admin but it was just an avatar.

Should we report these people, or what's the deal?
