And maybe we should consider ourselves lucky that it was set up this way. I like that it was capped out regardless of the initial reason. I think it's a good system to keep the caps in place, but I am in favor of loosening them a bit. Hence my support of some form of this suggestion.

We don't have to have the same discussion in the future. We might, we might not. If people start greatly exceeding the new recognition levels then this may come up again.

That's the thing, There is no point with this suggestion. If we change to Arabic numerals we won't need to deal with this again. And if we change to a Bronze, Siliver, Gold, system, we also won't need to deal with this again. But just sticking with roman numerals won't solve anything, and we'll soon have this discussion again.
We're sweeping dust under the mat.
Right now the current medal leader has "only" 147 medals. Some people want to be able to collect a virtually unlimited number of medals from certain activities. If we changed this to Arabic numerals, some people would all of a sudden have literally hundreds more medals than they currently have. There is something to be said for making conservative changes especially to one of the main avenues of recognition that this site has. If, on the other hand, we just did gold, silver, and bronze, those same people would have, in many cases, dozens less medals than they have now.
I don't understand why it seems to some people like it's such a crazy idea to allow for a modest increase in medals to recognize some folks for their contributions and achievements on this site.

Like i say earlier, its look that we have two opposite side here-Mods and Community, Mods want one thing and community want second thing, Now its look that new solution will be to open completely new suggestion topic with new suggestion, because you are not open for any other opinions.
But then we will have problem, because you oppose any other opinion ,no mater if these possible or not .
People need to get what they want, if someone want to win tournament like Robot, over and over again( like highlander), maybe he enjoy in these?
The Mods are part of the community and act as representatives of the community to the Admin as much as we act as representatives of the Admin to the users. Many of us are fairly active on the forum, in games, in tournaments, in clans, and in the foundry. While doing all that, we try (and sometimes can't help but) to get a feel for what the community wants. At the same time, we look at what can be done, talk the the Admins, and see which direction that they want to go. It's always a compromise of what can be done and what people want to be done given limited resources (in time, money, server space, etc.).
You're always welcome to share your opinion, but characterizing this as Mods v. Community is downright disingenuous.
