Yeah, I agree this is a good idea. When I first started CB and was learning about things, I thought it was for all members. I've never been an OM, hah.

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. QUOTE(Michelle @ Dec 22 2007, 10:02 AM)  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. |

I'm sorry to bump this, but a new month approaches and I was wondering if a decision has been made.
The poll results are undeniably favorable in having regular members included. |

Yeah? Any word? I'm sort of interested in having my OM status back - I've been a long time supporter and contributor here and it's kind of disheartening to see that spammers and drive-by posters are reworded more than dedicated and thoughtful contributors.

Finally, I've been off any sort of privileged position for so long. Not that I need it or anything; it's just that I've been here for so long anyways. |

QUOTE(doublehelix @ Dec 18 2007, 02:25 PM) I like that a lot of the members, who are not OM's are being nominated for MoTM, however, those are going to be the newer members, and sometimes, they will be putting out posts like crazy, and all of a sudden, can just stop all together, which sucks. Them having to be OM's kind of gives the community more of a chance to get to know them. Unless you change the criteria of MoTM.. I really can't see how regular members can be official members that easily. I think it's a really great idea but doublehelix's response really tickled my fancy and I strongly agree with the response. |

I've never really seen someone that was really new win MotM, they've had chances but weren't actually the winners, they usually won the following month if they were still active. The current winner was nominated last month and she was really new then, but she didn't win. She won the following month after she was still continually active.

I don't see why not! I definitely think that if a regular member has proven that they've outshined the rest over that month, they absolutely should win.
And if they do, people would pretty much be like "Why isn't he/she an Official Member anyway?" About the comment relating to newer members - the staff does make the final vote on Member of the Month, and if they win, it will certainly be because they deserve it, whether they remain active or not. Suzzette won SMOTM before, and even though what happened happened, she still deserved it when she won it. |

has this happened, yet?
QUOTE 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. yess, it very hard *sighs* |

QUOTE(doublehelix @ Apr 7 2008, 08:45 PM) I just don't think their given enough for such a prestigious award. I don't think MOTM is a prestigious award. It's just a popularity contest given to someone every month. And if Sally can get her 8,000 posts back and get OM status, I don't see why Loquat can't. |
