Polraudio 122 Report post Posted January 27, 2009 I thought we could have like an award system or something that we could do each month to point out those who deserve it. Like we could maybe vote on certiant members each month for things they have done. Here are some ideas Kindest Most helpful Most active Most posts Most popular Contributor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arkbennett 16 Report post Posted January 27, 2009 That or every year. Could make a cop off of RMRK's 20XX Awards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leon 55 Report post Posted January 27, 2009 Why not have a 'member of the month' each month, and then those where were voted be in the yearly vote? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Polraudio 122 Report post Posted January 27, 2009 That sounds even better. I was thinking that we should have 5 members every month. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wyzrd 12 Report post Posted January 27, 2009 THe monthly thing is better then yearly. If it's yearly. No one will really care that much because a year is a long time but if it's month to month. Hey it's every month you have 12 chances to get something then once. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hey it's every month you have 12 chances to get something then once. Like Leon was saying to, we can have the member of them month and at the end of the year we can vote for the member of the year. But they must have had member of the month first before qualifying member of the year. We just need to decide on what categories to go with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wyzrd 12 Report post Posted January 28, 2009 My official vote is. Member of the Month Then like Leon said at the end of year of Member of the Year. Only people voted in Member of the Month have a shot at Member of the Year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Polraudio 122 Report post Posted January 28, 2009 I added a poll. If this turns out good i will make up some rules. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jambo6c 0 Report post Posted January 28, 2009 Here are some ideas Kindest Most helpful Most active Most posts Most popular Contributor Trouble is with these categories is that Most active & posts are sort of the same thing really. Other than that I'm right behind the idea!!! Maybe add in a 'special contribution' award - one that maybe isn't awarded each month but is given to someone who contributes something epic.

Other than that I'm right behind the idea!!!Maybe add in a 'special contribution' award - one that maybe isn't awarded each month but is given to someone who contributes something epic. Most active and most posts are way different. Im on almost every day all day but i dont make as many posts as some members each month. I don't think im going to have contributor that's something i just came up out of the blue. Im not so sure what categories that we are going to have yet. I would like to see some of other people's ideas first. I plan on having at least 5 categories. also i plan on having this done by the 1st so we can start next month.

Jambo6c 0 Report post Posted January 28, 2009 Ah ok I see your point about the activity and posts categories :P Ill try and think of more categories, but I still support my 'epic contributor' category :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EmilyAnnCoons 7 Report post Posted January 29, 2009 Sounds like a good idea. We could just have one category "Member of the Month" for the one person that is the most active, posts the most, contributes the most, etc. I think that, with our current amount of activity, if we do multiple categories, we'll run out of members to award by the end of the year :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Otherwise it turns into a "lets be really active this month to get the award then do nothing once we win" competition :P Although I would hope not... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EmilyAnnCoons 7 Report post Posted January 29, 2009 True, it's just the way it was being said, it sounded like you could only win once, since there was also a "member of the year" that is composed of the winners of the months, and someone said "that way there are 12 chances and 12 votes" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then we should make it where the member must fall under most of the categorizes to even become nominated. As for the rules i think this is simple enough. Member of the Month Rules Member of the Month nominating will be held on the 15th-20th and voting will be held on the 25th-29th of each month Members must fall under at least 2 of the following categories to become nominated. Kindest - Is always kind to other members, and has a positive attitude all the time. Most helpful - Is always on top of helping people and has very great help Most active - Is on the forums a lot. Contributor - Has contributed lots of resources or has been involved in lots of the activities. Trend Starter - Almost like Contribute but has come up with lots of ideas that has shaped our forums. Member of the Year To get member of the year you must have been Member of the Month for that year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Contributor - Has contributed lots of resources or has been involved in lots of the activities. Trend Starter - Almost like Contribute but has come up with lots of ideas that has shaped our forums. If a member has already been Member of the Month for that year he or she cannot be Member of the Month again for that year. That all sounds awesome, but I still think members should be able to be MOTM more than once. I mean since we have 5 categories, and from what Emily says we're not extremely active, it may end up nominating between, for example, 7 people for 5 categories. All it would mean is for each person not to have 1 entry into MOTY for each MOTM win, just 1 per person. Also it kind of adds an extra ... I dunno, I hate to use the word but I've drawn a blank ... oomph to the concept. Do as you will - it was your idea in the first place!!! - but I just reckon it might be more exciting that way? I'm always happy to help out with any admin etc. on this MOTM scheme btw. :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can Emily or Marked make a category for Member of the Month. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kiriashi 117 Report post Posted February 5, 2009 When I first saw "Kindest Most helpful Most active Most posts Most popular Contributor" I read Kindest as Kiriashi'est. I was thinking, "man you guys are really nice!" .... Now I'm sad.. No seriously, this is a great idea for a monthly thing, as long as its fair. (We have to give other people a chance, Arky doesn'y want to be MotM every month!) Let's see, I'm kind, most of the time... I contribute some stuff, especially after I finish this Beginner's Tutorial... I'm really helpful I think, as long as people don't noobanate (the verb for of noob) to much... I post a lot, but not themost at all! I've not been to active for awhile.... Oh hey, watch this: Youtube Video ->Original Video Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Polraudio 122 Report post Posted February 5, 2009 Well i don't see you having a problem with getting nominated for Member of the Month. BTW member nominate other members. You cannot nominate your self. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marked 197 Report post Posted February 6, 2009 Emily and I were going to hold something like this last year, except it was going to be an awards type thing and members chosen by us. How do members get nominated for the polls? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Polraudio 122 Report post Posted February 6, 2009 Emily and I were going to hold something like this last year, except it was going to be an awards type thing and members chosen by us. How do members get nominated for the polls? Good thing you asked that. I was planning on having it like this. A member makes a post in the Member of the Month category/ Nominations topic(when i make it on the 15th) They would do something like this I nominate "Members name" for "Description on why" They have qualified for the following areas "Areas list" EXAMPLE: I nominate Marked for being a great admin, Being nice to all the members, Listening to his members when they need something, and being very helpfull. Kindest Most helpful I should add this to the Rules and Information but i need permissions for the Member of the Month category Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kiriashi 117 Report post Posted February 6, 2009 I second that! Marked gets right on to everything. He even made a tileset just for me! Hey Pol, that's a great idea in theory, but there probably will be quite a few members that won't post in there what the said members did for them. Some people sign up here just to ask one question and then leave. You could get like a couple members like the ones on this page to do it, like Wyzrd.. Ark... You... I'd be willing to help too. I check out pretty much every post here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If we dont get enough nominations before the nominations period is over i will check every post and next month i will ask for help. Is there money involved? ....lol just kidding...(or am I?)

But I sure will be on the look our for members to nominate. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
