    Member Of The Month

    Well, it's been awhile since I've asked anything of the forum but this is one idea I have.

    It is as the title states it is, basically the forum Mods would pick 5 members of the forum that were active and had contributed to discussions with very good results. As well picking 5 members that they feel that have displayed themselves as "model" members of this forum. After the Mods have agreed on 5 (or less) options a vote will be posted in the GD as a sticky for everyone here to vote. The prize is trivial to me as I'm not sure of what kind of prizes there can be. Thus this is posted in the suggestion forum for other people's ideas on this as well to be noted by our staff

    Thanks,

    Deadfire

    While I like the idea, this will definitely cause arguments. Arguments about favoritism, and who didn't vote for who, and who is a pet of who and that's why they got nominated etc...

    Maybe if the mods just picked one it would be fairer. However, even this will bring up the problem, how often can you be chosen?

    We could do GW survivor again with all the people who joined in a certain year...


    LaZie made this...a long time ago.

    its an intresting prospect, and it might even be motivation for members to better themselves. Not to mention it could help make the forums more active. But xDM brings up some valid concerns.

    Im willing to look further into it, but give me a more detailed version (im too lazy to deal with the specifics). Think up some possible nomination criteria, judging methods and prizes/rewards, as well as how it would actualy play out. Once you have that, we'll talk it over in the mod lounge and see if its worth a shot.

    One possibility would be letting the members nominate a few people, picking 4 or 5 of those people and then deciding whose been a good little boy or girl that month. Naturally this would take place in the last week or so of each month, and the winner (if you wanna call it that) would have the title for the following month.

    However, don't get your hopes up just cuz of my post. The Dark Lord has a nasty habit of disregarding many of our suggestions, even the ones the mods agree with.

    The eye is watching you from Mordor! Dun dun dun!

    Seriously though, i like this idea, but i also would like to see a more concrete structure laid out before considering whether to implement it or not. Either the mods nominating several users and having everyone vote on it or vice-versa sound plausible.
    But I'm clueless about what prize to give out. Certainly not temporary modship, that's for sure. Maybe a custom title for a month?

    Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".

    Temporary modship is out of the question. What we could have is an artificial increase in rep, say 100 rep points or so. Maybe a list on the main page with all the members of the month recorded there or something. IRC stuff is also an option...temp hops would be great. It would make the irc channel more lively, and since the forum rules dont apply, the winners can have some fun with thier powers.
