Regular Members = Official members? Options

[Insurmountable]

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?

Actually, I think this was brought up before Michelle was on staff. I just can't remember who brought it up, but if memory serves, someone was mentioning it not too long after MoTM was created.

Point is, it's a good idea, and if more than one person has thought about it and brought it up, then cool.

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.

Very true. It's just finding the balance of what activity should be maintained.

See, I see PPD as a rather shitty way of maintaining OM status. Sure, it's not difficult when you're first getting there, but once you have posts in the thousands, if you take any break at all it's a sick process to get your PPD up. At least in my opinion it is.
