View submission: We heard you… awards are back!
Weird that you added awards back, but didn't add gold, the most iconic element in Reddit history ("thanks for the gold kind stranger")
Edit: Thanks for the... whatever that is, kind strangers *coughs up blood*

I agree. In case your comment didn't make it clear enough for them,
I'm requesting to get the old "gold" and "silver" back. They don't need to be updated. They bring redditors happiness. Make them the cheaper versions. The worst thing that could happen to them is that they **make more money**.
I've been active for almost a decade. I always knew a post was good or chaotic when it had a shit ton of gold - and later, the fancier rewards. I get it, you guys fucked up, it happens. You did miss the one part that is an integral part of reddit history, however, and I think it's important to add this back.

Yeah awards button pushed reply button further to middle of the screen. Bad UX.
But anyways. Add silver and gold pls. We don't need platinum or other bullshit. But gold is just classic.
I honestly liked the simplicity of golden upvote. Concept is good execution was just unfathomably bad.

Well /u/spez is a complete moron. There’s absolutely no chance of them making things better while that ass clown is running Reddit.

It's not weird. There are very few employees of reddit who understand its history or its culture.

Maybe they're waiting until people complain enough so they can do another "we listened to you after we lost money" post.

Gold was a culture.

They should have rolled back rewards to how they were prior to the change. Because everyone wasted all their points knowing it was going away.

Yeah, we want the Gold back. I hope they can add it again.

It seems from the FAQ answer that you receive gold when someone gives you an award. So that silly phrase can still plague edited comments again.
