Sexy boy, physical abuse and murder: a story of a serial icons requester - andersonbarives

Age agone, we made the Quest icon feature: if you need an icon, you can request it. If other users upvote information technology, we draw it. No matter how freaky IT is. It's good for our community, and IT helps us to draw icons that are in demand.

Most wanted icons are something we can expect like "airport," "friendship," "CoronaVirus." Close to mass invite an animated peach. Others neediness an eggplant bush. But there were other requests…

Disturbing requests

Once we realised that there was something off in the list of requests. Some of them looked pretty unusual. And they kept coming.

#1 "Greek ID"

Look at the sample. Ok, my Gem State photo is not my best pic either. But this matchless gave us the creeps!

#2 "Quaternary icons for fleshly abuse, power punish, abuse, twisting"

"Is this person penning a sequel to Fifty Shades of Grey?" asked our designers.

#3 "Murder"

Should I say more?

The suspicious vibe got into the gentle wind. While picture designers were lottery, our support team initiated an investigation. They have looked through all the requests to find if at that place was a pattern. And there IT was: entirely those requests were made by the same somebody. "Person of interest", we thought.

Icons of evidence

What we saved out is that this person is a ordination requester. And he had requested many law-breaking-concomitant icons such every bit a policeman chasing another humankind, terrorists, robber, and ferroconcrete. Here are more.

#1 "Obama's signature"

Wherefore would one penury Obama's signature? Would he also request a signature of Donald Trump or Joe Biden?

#2 "Ruin text file"

Wait. Forge documents and then destroy them? Why?

#3 "Trial run"

Should atomic number 2 plead inexperienced person surgery take the Fifth, your honor?

Criminal Profiling

Overall, the man has requested 500+ icons, including a ringing call, sexy male child, cafe, low-pitched diver, a cute bird, a crying child, and a perfume bottle. Most of them were dewy-eyed and reusable.

Helium as wel ofttimes asked us to adjust the icons, and it made sense. E.g., he requested icons of fat and skinny Arabian tea. When the icons were intelligent, helium asked us to "add the ribs" to the picture of a skinny cat to make it clear that it's skeletal, not lose weight.

Enough is enough! We had to find out who this person is, why he requested so some icons, what he does with them. Thus we dug done our support chat logs and found out that… he whole kit at civilis. Chances are he is a good man. Exonerated until proven guilty, right?

Unity dark late night, he came to our chat. And he clothed to equal an English instructor from Greece and overall, an extremely overnice person! He had requested those icons to assist children learn English and have fun.

First-hand testimony

"Number 1 of completely, I really want to thank you all for your awe-inspiring work. We wouldn't be able to do every last the things we did if information technology weren't for you. We have been working on more or less textbooks and materials that accompany information technology. We have an app where students prat solve quizzes and we are in real time in the process of creating different games. We have been using icons8 in all of the above. We are sporting 3 people and then it's a painfully slow process but thanks to resources online such as yours we have managed to assign together indeed untold content in less than 3 years."

Willing end

Eventually, it turned out to be a story about the teacher WHO secondhand all the icons to work with his students at school. And he built a squad to create an original and entertaining course with several textbooks, additional materials, multiple games, and an synergistic app that helps students practice. Sol, we've caught a group of teachers instead of a bunch.

Here is the book, have a look!

And here is the game, one of 150+ they have created!

"Students love acting it and it's a great way to get them to learn lexicon. We have a bunch of games and ideas for activities in the works that wouldn't have been possible without you. Thank you so much for creating so many awful icons!"
