Do you think here in Cb a "member of the Month Award" idea would be a good idea? It's a huge morale boost for whoever wins it, and being nominated is an achievment alone. Some people will be disappointed not to be nominated sometimes, but we can't please EVERYBODY.

What do you think?

I don't think that would work, becuase there are a lot of members here, too many would get over looked, and the voting process would take forever, becuase it would be more of a popularity contest. rather than the people that are all around people that will post in all the fourms with feedback and positive comments. after the voting would be done there would be too many ties, and it would take forever to play the elimination game with as many members as cb has.

This month I haven't been paying much attention, so logically I was thiniking it could start next month (a la February).

still yet, who would pick the member of the month? that had nothing to do with my question unless you are stating that you are going to be picking it, although i dont think it should be left up to a regular member. let the staff or something vote on it if the idea is used.

Oh, right, just make a poll (staff members) with the candidates about a week before the end of the month and let the general public decide...

It's normal if it's going to be a popularity contest. What else should it be? We can't vote for unpopular members. You have to make yourself known. That's why it's called member of the month mellow.gif.

I think it's a good idea.

If cB was a smaller forum then maybe yeah but it's far too huge. And what would be the requirements to be member or the month? And the benefits?

cB has such a large membership that it would be incredibly difficult to pick a "member of the month." And like stated before, it would be more of a popularity contest than anything (the concept is a good one, but people are people and it turn out this way). Perhaps a member appreciation forum? Maybe something the admins/mods could do?

It IS a popularity contest, that's the point. What's so wrong with having a popularity contest?...

I don't particularly like the idea, but what's the point of having most anything?

For one thing, it would inevitable result in people whose qualities shouldn't be highlighted, but are popular because of their faults.

But mainly it's because anyone who spends any time at all around cB knows who is popular. What's the need to quantify that into a percentage of votes? What's the need to prove who's the most well-liked at all?

Well, it's just for fun, just like the ball was, and how superlatives are. I don't see the big deal with it. Everything is a popularity contest.

^x2 tis true.

If a staff is willing to spearhead MofM (what a cute acronym, seriously!) I'm good w/ it.

I wouldn't mind and help out too, also if needed.

Haha, you say to the MofM, You're a moffem.

Okay, I'm over it. Temporary euphoria's past.
But, you never know about this, if the staff worked a lot on this, it could work. :/ But, you don't know for sure.

Yea um...we don't just mod people for certain topics...

People Staff would take care of it.
I'm certain it wouldn't be that big of a deal. Nothing out of the ordinary. We have contests all the time.
