Mod Awarded Icons

50

This is awarded to baiters who get their lads on 50 safaris.

Badge

Badges are the ultimate Eater trophy. This icon is to recognize someone for their part in bringing a scammer to justice for crimes related to 419 scams only. These crimes are difficult to prosecute so the icon is very specific. Badges are not awarded for unplanned or inadvertent detentions due to a lad's inability to pay a driver, lack of proper visa, or other incidental run-ins with law enforcement, though we all enjoy reading about those!

Suitcase

This is awarded to baiters who provide websites specifically for getting lads to go on safari.

User Icons

Audiobook

Audiobook icons are for getting a scammer to record themselves reading an entire book.

Black Ribbon

The Black Ribbon symbolizes mourning or remembrance of Eater members gone too soon.

Church

This icon designates the completion of a Church Bait-related monument.

Credit Card

This one represents reported stolen credit card details. They can be reported to the Moderators by using the PM system and you may then add the icon to your signature.

Mortorboard

The Mortarboard represents mentoring. You may add the number of total members you've given your wisdom, experience and support.

Piggy

This little piggy represents scammer bank accounts reported to a mod or your mentor using the PM system. As the mods don't alert you to the progress of the reported bank, even getting a scammer to give you a working account and having it reported is good enough.

Video Camera

Video camera icons are for getting a scammer to make a video for you.

Pith Helmet

Pith Helmets are for safaris. The rule for safaris is minimum 200 miles traveled distant from the lad's starting point (i.e. 400 miles round trip) OR an international border crossing. Getting a lad to travel this distance is the goal. In order to legitimately claim a pith helmet the journey would also have to be verified (for example with IP proof). Other solid evidence that the lad has traveled may also suffice, such as a selfie in front of a fixed landmark, hotel receipts or calls from fixed lines, or travel documents like visas, passport stamps, bus tickets or airline boarding card stubs. Geotags in digital photographs' EXIF data are also strong evidence for a lad having moved.

Sand Timer

The Sand Timer is used to identify your longest running baits, however you wish to present them. (eg: Lad Buggins - 17 mths) This is awarded for a bait lasting longer than 12 months of continuous baiting. Not just sending an email once a month to say 'hi' - We mean continuous baiting. You need to have a lad on the baited hook for over 12 months.
