The eighth anniversary is coming up next month, and there are some stamps and bumpers (I'm not sure if there are any other such graphics) which you can obtain only according to your rank: star seed graphics, pyramidal graphics, lotus graphics and staff graphics. Now, back during the 5th anniversary in 2016, I was still a pyramidal crystal during the celebrations and as you can see on my Galleria and Collectibles thread, I only took the stamps that were for pyramidal crystal members. However, while looking at other members' collectibles' threads, I saw that they'd also gotten stamps from a lower rank than their current one, for example, a staff member had gotten all three star seed, pyramidal crystal and lotus crystal graphics. My question is, are we allowed to do it? Say, when the anniversary celebrations come around next month, with me being a lotus crystal, can I also obtain stamps, bumpers and whatever else graphics there are for star seeds and pyramidal crystals? Because technically most of the active members have had that rank previously, including me... Another thing that I noticed was that all the, uh, collectibles threads that I checked that had done that belonged to admins or mods. I only checked like, almost all of the first page as I can't be bothered to check all the pages and collections, but my point is, can this maybe be something only reserved for staff members? Also, I don't know if any other events and such except for the anniversary celebrations have prizes that you can obtain according to your rank, as I've only been around for two events on here and I can't be bothered to check their archives, but the relugations regarding what you can obtain according to your rank should probably be the same for all events, so it's silly to bring that into the issue at hand. Anyways, I'm not sure how all of this works and it'd be great if somebody could clarify.

If you have earned the Lotus Rank (highest non-staff rank here on GC) and goodies such as various graphics are handed out during an event for each corresponding rank, you, as a Lotus, are FREE to use the 'lower ranked' graphics such as Star Seed and Pyramidal Crystal . Regardless if you're a staff member or not (e.g. you're a Mod WITH a Lotus Rank).

So long-story-short YES! You are allowed to use any kind of graphic from a lower rank if you are a Lotus Crystal!! Regarding your question concerning other events: We already had 'goodie bags' for other events such as the Halloween Bash or the Red Rose Riot where graphics have been handed out . The Anniversary AND the Festibration are the biggest events hosted on here (so hence, more graphics, more planning etc.).

I hope this answered your question!! <3

Oh, I see, thanks for the clarification, Diana.

Oh wow I wouldn't have assumed that! Neat .
