So, would it make sense to start a poll about whether or not to attempt to get RYF certification? Or shall we just continue discussion here?
That wouldn't be a smart move I think.
I don't want ED to get the wrong idea that the community is forcing him onto something he doesn't like.
They are experts, so they should make better decisions if they know their customer base well. (not like Microsoft)
These kind of certificattions really depends on how many people are giving a damn about them. They are like graduate certificates.
If many of our potential customers have confidence in it, then it would be cool to have if just to use it once, then throw it away.
But I doubt that's the case as most of us have never heard of such a thing. It's like some backwater lunatics suddenly decides they can patent the moon and stars.
People are stupid creatures, I guess, most of us can never see ahead of the curve. People only starts to respect human rights after the rivalry between the last piece of the ultimate justice puzzle called 'Merica and the source of all evil that is Nazi emergies. The same thing applies to organic food, and green energy. People only started to regard these as the new standard of superiority after the public media said so.
I have more faith in ED giving out free Pandoras to big youtubers and famous people on facebook and twitter. There is no strong sense of morality in this generation of people, this I'm certain. People follow celebrities rather than discipline. We are more like "Lady gaga loves this machine, so I must have it", than "this tut represents the last remaining bit of respectfulness in this bleak world filled with greedy mega globe coperations".
If we really want pandora to look good, we can just make up a few certifications on our own, and play with words a bit (we want similarities, but not lead copies), so that pandora can be claimed to be the most awesome nut crack in the universe and such. I doubt most average people would look up these certificates before they make a purchase.
