He signed up in 2007, so not so new. But he meets the criteria!

Sure, why not. Even if he's just a retired navy plug.

Guidlines to Receive a Medal
1) You cannot earn a medal until you have 100 or more posts.
2) The endorser will have to write a decent write-up on why he/she deserves the certain medal after he/she applies or gets chosen for a nomination. Instead of just saying “I nominate x for medal w”. You need to provide a good amount of proof (links/examples) and need to be very clear on why they deserve the medal. If he/she truly deserves the medal it will be easy to convince the moderators and give proof on why they deserve it.
3) Medals that aren’t deserved by people anymore, such as someone who may have the “Topic Jedi” medal suddenly stops creating a lot of topics and then never is heard of in the forum for a long length of time will have his/her medal taken away from them.
4) Medal nomination in obvious retaliation for a continuing conflict in the forums or to make a point will not be considered.
5) Moderating staff may award or remove medals (other than for inactivity) but only after a discussion has taken place within that group which may or may not be made public in the forums.

He's been here almost 9 years and has 12 posts.
I calculate that he'll make his 100th post... and get his medal... in about 66 years.

Yogi will still be here to witness it.

well, I would be honoured....thanks for the nominations. I would like to say that yes I spelled the acronym wrong for this site, and I understand its cka and I'm not sure where the cck came from while making the other post. That abbreviation usually dealt with crypto.

No one jump on Hyack. He is following and enforcing the rules. Better to have someone enforce them as evenly as possible then have a biased rule keeper.
Sookite keep on coming here and posting. You'll get to 100 soon enough. One of us will resubmit you.

He's also the only one at the moment, so hats off to Hyack.
