Proposed Seal of Approval Proposal System

[Church of Virus Infected (Image)|http://virus.lucifer.com/bbs/attachments/virus3.jpg][Churh of Virus - Approved (Image)|http://homepage.ntlworld.com/graham.stanley1/flux/sorted.gif]

Methods:

(1)	Image/s?, Animation? (with hyperlink based authentication system?)

(2)	Approval Directory List of Sites (with approval ratings, descriptions, reviews, and other relevant information?)

Item fitting this criterion with relevant explicitness and implicitness, with relevant criticism of dogmatism, apathy, hypocrisy, while utilizing relevant reasoning, empathy, vision, maintaining relevant clarity, progress towards our goals, and virtues while recognizing movement away from our sins, considering the items quality (fitting purposes etc), moral conduct, related and web-linked sites and opinions regarding them.

Flux: My proposal - “At least 3 Virians must approve that websites / Webpages / minisites fit the criteria, it should be documented in either CoV chat logs, the BBS or the wiki boards, then the website may have its "infected" / agreeing / approved”

A list mainly and simply of the sites will be on CoVApprovedList

(I also had begun a simple Flash animation: http://tinyurl.com/5gvo , I intend to make the morphing look cellular when ‘complete’, it is definitely a work in progress.)

[JakeSapiens] I think it would make for a good idea to have several different graphic and theme selections so that people recieving the honors of CoV approval can choose those versions which best fit into the theme of their own site.  Some may wish to emphasize the "virus" theme more, while others may prefer some of the more cryptic or Vague things one might do with a simple "CoV" - and afterall I still find this the shortest generally understood abbreviation for our little castle in cyberspace here.  And what with Flux seemingly having a love affair with abbreviations . . . ;-)  Love, -Jake

[Kharin] Reply - the graphic was designed for other purposes and would need modification, the font being an obvious area to start. Conversely, I'm not wildly keen on the other graphic here, it's a little too plain. I'd suggest moving this to the bbs where the topic can be debated and a poll on the various options more easily conducted.
