So...only 320 of the forum population are in the running? That leaves 98544 members who dont get to participate.

They all suck. *shifty eyes* Wait.. I'm part of that group... Wow.

It was actually shut off because something was wrong with it.

I'm not sure we ever found out why, but it kept nominating the same people.

😂

So it wasn't because the forum's too big.

Bring it back, man.

I guess we could introduce an algorithm that only picks out active members, and also make sure they aren't picked twice (the problem last time).

Plus, we would need to make sure that the title comes with some perks, so people would actually want the title.

Maybe a mod appointed member of the week may be a better solution.

That sounds good, then you could have secret ballots and stuff...a bigger sig maybe...or naming the OTF after the member of the week, say Grand Moff Gav's Pad or TheKingofKINGS!'s Pad...etc etc

What about member per forum? Quite a lot of posters only stick to a particular forum, so whoever mods that forum would have a better knowledge of who could be picked...? Plus with the size of the forum, how would the mods come up with a single member for the award?

So your saying one member should be chosen for each forum?

Well, yeah basically. If a member is chosen by the mods, how would they go about the selection process? Theres a whole forum, how would you pick a single member....if it was each forum or whatever, then whoever runs that forum could pick someone. Eg, how would the Harry Potter mod go about choosing someone who doesnt post in the HP forum? How do they know if that poster should get the title?

And look at the Star Wars VS forum for example, half of those dont venture anywhere else, so recieving a forum wide title of 'Member of the day' is kind of pointless if they only stick to one forum, but if it was a single forum award, then they can have some...'pride' or something of contributing to that forum. And say it was for subforums, eg Religion and Philosophy forums, and if they only had say 4 or 5 regular posters, then the award would cover the General Discussion/Religion/Philosophy forums together so they dont have the same 4 or 5 posters receiving each time.

Get me?

that would be unfair.

and I'm against the thing.

Only if they only picked that person because they were that persons friend (eg: it would be unfair if Lana picked Barker because they are good mates).

If this has been posted already, then i apologise...

but the best way imo is this...

put a thread in each forum, people post who they think deserves it, then the person with the most votes goes forward from each forum... then draw the winners out of a hat...

or have a member of the day for each forum...

though that could be too long for a single day... 😬

there was a MOTD ...cool

😕 Where can I view this member of the day thing?
