Police Proficiency Award and Award Systems

[Tommer]

Hey,

I was thinking the other day how often in the community people like to write things in their signatures like "Passed Advanced" or in cop chat "Advanced Cop Available" etc which aren't really a true reflection of police skill.

So I thought, what if we gave out an official award that basically says 'so and so is recognized as a proficient police officer' - In order to get the reward users would have to pass numerous criteria. For example, we could provide some materials on car control, and they could go away, practice, come back later, with a replay that's within a minimum time with car kept on the right hand lane in control around a given circuit for a few laps around a demanding course.

And perhaps the person would have a chase with a trainer later on after passing training (another 1000km's?) and it doesn't have to be arranged in a training server or anything, just let the user have a normal chase in the public servers.

If we find that they show proficiency, we could provide a badge with their name or something that they can use in their signatures or skins, and maybe also we could provide personalised police skins with the badge to show our proficient users - Gives us something to aim for, and a reward to get.

On the topic of awards, I also thought maybe a 'medal' system like the ones you see in other forums, would make a good substitute for the rep system?

Just some thoughts I had on the way home from college.
