Yes. Win a site run contest or contribute something particular brilliant to the community, and the Admins will give you one.

(Getting it through contribution is a rarity, the exception rather than the rule)

I'm probably the most notable person on the site but I don't have one, what's up with that?

Notoriety =/= contribution.

Besides, I've authored several tutorials, hosted gamedays for several months and helped format the site with ideas like the feature section and none of those contributed to my getting a medal.

Booj did get one for his libraries, but then look at how many thanks he's had on that one project. Like, 600? That's had a significant impact on the mapping scene even beyond TF2maps. It makes sense he gets a Valve community medal.

Ha ha, nah i was given one now that i'm a mod.

And Yyler, no, your second jokey post didn't make your first sound any less semi-serious. I was just saying... contributions have to be fairly significant. Not just for you, but anyone else curious about it.

Well, grazr, I must say that your tutorials are the most useful ones on this website, for sure.

However, this isn't a contest.

And if it was, Booj would win.

Technically I was to be awarded one for my artpass participation, Frozen was not aware I participated in it, and wanted to give me one for my pack, which he found out was unnecessary after he had already instated the "special contributions" thing. Though I do appreciate it still, as I'm definitely more proud of the pack than the map.

So I both did win and didn't win. It would appear I have something of a schrodinger's medal.

That's exactly my point.
