It seems like a lot of regular members are shining more than official members when it comes to Member of the Month. I am suggesting the idea of anyone can win Member of the Month, and if my chance a regular member wins they will be handed over the official member status for winning the title.
What do you guys think of this? |

Would the OM status be a permanent status? that would make the most sense. I like this idea.

Yes once they win the Member of the Month they have a permanent OM status
 It should have been done earlier I do agree, but at least were getting to it now! :D

Well look at Ruth, shes been here for a while and is getting nominated like crazy and she only has like 800 posts.
There is MissHygienic and shes an excellent member and she only has around 200-500 posts and shes still active and has been nominated as well. JC wasn't an official member yet he was a great member and made great quality posts. |

QUOTE(doublehelix @ Dec 18 2007, 01:25 AM)  Them having to be OM's kind of gives the community more of a chance to get to know them. yeah but this becomes unrealistic in a lot of cases, esp people who have had their account a while and not been active. when they come back, regaining ppd or 3500 posts is hard. |

You wouldn't Thomas?
How about Jeanna? She was a regular member and left and came back and was a good member, very well liked and was active. Contributed quite a few topics in many different places around the Community center. Ruth is revoltaire |

QUOTE(doublehelix @ Dec 18 2007, 01:39 AM) I don't know about you JC but I wouldn't nominate an inactive member for MoTM. i don't mean that, i mean people who come back from being inactive. i didn't use my account for a year, and then came back and was active. so i was annoyed at the fact that i couldn't be nominated because my ppd was low. yet someone could come and join and have a 28 ppd average a week later and get nominated over me. |

^Exactly,
Everything that is here has its flaws but we have to look at the positives. Personally I don't think some new member out of no where is going to win the MOTM..for one you have to be nominated and then the staff come together to state the final winner. |

yknow i just think this could be a nice perk for motm. lets look at it that way. i mean plenty of other people actually work their way to OM and then their activity drops a ton. i dont see a problem with this, personally.

QUOTE(brooklyneast05 @ Dec 17 2007, 11:21 PM) we shoulda done this earlier QFT ^_^ Once you get to (is it 3000? 3500?) posts, sure, you're a perma OM. But until then, you don't have to climb to that 5 PPD to necessarily be a great member. I would rather see someone post thoughtfully then to be a quickie poster just to get the OM status. To me, the former clearly is more of a MoTM candidate. |

All regular members should be lined up and executed by firing squad.

Great idea. MOM being confined purely to OM's makes it difficult to nominate OM's over regularly active members sometimes.

I always thought that all members were legible to be MOTM.
 I'm all for this idea. I mean, most of the MOTM nominees (sp?) aren't Official members.

I wonder who thought of this idea a while ago...
 But, yes, I think it's a good idea. But I also think it should be less permanent than those who have reached a certain number of posts. If their activity dies significantly, then the status should be removed. |
