It's funny, every time we do this thread folks come along and tell me I'm wrong about why the icons were hidden.

I'm like, Oh really? You were there in Staff during the conversation and know more about than me? Interesting.

iirc there were some minor grumblings about the military icons. Down right bitch fest about the LE ones.

I can't say I've ever recalled seeing any grumblings or bitching over icons. I use mobile most of the time anyways so I don't see any.

It just seems more like human nature that the Icon holders would be the ones pushing the removal just so it didn't bring any attention VS the ones seeing them pushing for them to be removed. Which is probably why so many question the reason you give.

Because they're the only ones professional enough to view the icons.
If a mere civilian were to view the icon it would smash them in their feels.

Seems like that could be achieved by not asking for the icon to start with??

I don’t really care if they’re visible or not....I’m on mobile 95% of the time and can’t see them anyway.

The funny part was the month or two between when they made them invisible but still skipped a line where they would be in the format.  So if you saw someone that had a clear space directly below the picture you knew they had the hidden icon.  Extorris hit me with the buzz killington meme for pointing that one out once.  Whoops.

What if they prefer to talk to other officers about something in the secure forum and not GD or BOTS? To gain access to the secure LEO forum you must fulfill the requirements. The icon comes with that. It's awork around for a few issues that popped up.

You would think that, as you are not a member of the super secret non LE forum here and do not have the semi invisible badge. Nor were you issued a decoder ring.

The requirements to get the icon are to send in a image of your credentials using your duty email.

Most agencies that have more than six members have policies that bar you from a.) making copes of your ID cards, and b.) using your email for non-official business.

The requirement to risk IA exposure probably discourages some people.

I don't hide it.  Many don't mention it.  I didn't for years.  I still try to mostly stay out of cop threads.  I learned back in the Richard 24/7 days that we have plenty of tweakers here and arguing with then in cop threads is a waste.

I haven't fucked with you in ages.  That MrPorkChopsForHire shit was funny though.
