Is there an established criteria or is it primarily subjective?
Both.
There is a board of forum administrators (the next level higher than Sr. Moderators) who review participation, activity, tone, and subject matter that is being posted on the forums. When they make a suggestion for the seal, it generates an inquiry to Agent Relations who may have a member's file, which includes other notes, phone conversations, emails, agency response, etc.
The seal is never announced. It is given without notice to the member because we have a lot of fine members on the board who contribute greatly. The seal can also be recalled if a member no longer participates or contributes at a later date, or becomes sporadic.
In essence, a member who has been given the seal generally represents through their participation the ideals of the Private Investigators Forum. Some members who have posted more than 200 topics and replies have never been awarded the seal, while others with lower post counts have. Quantity in counts is not as important as quality.

No.
However, technical support installs selected avatars based on participation, responsibility, law firms, and other agencies who contribute to IPIU.
You do, however, have the Signature Field to use as long as there is no advertising placed in it. To use an ad in the Signature Field, email license@ipiu.org for permission.
