Neowin Member Awards


Recommended Posts

I had an idea for the Neowin Member Awards

Every year, the neowin community nominate a group of say 10 or 20 members who have contributed the most to these forums. From the nominations, a winner and two runners up are chosen in a poll, again by members who, lets say, get a special member title like the neowinadmin image...

Just an idea :) would encourage quality contributions and keep spam, trolling and general abuse to a minimum :laugh:

Very good idea, there should be a rule though that moderators can't be voted for as they have already given lots to the Neowin community.

I suppose it would encourage people... the week up to and after we announce the awards!

Tbh, you shouldn't really look for an incentive -you help or you dont. You aren't going to get much back - apart from respect.

I agree with you, Mr magoo, i think it would be nice though for some people to be awarded for the great contributions they have given to neowin...

Of course, if you started giving away large cash prizes then of course people would abuse the privilidge - thats not what im proposing :) besides, the kind of people who get nominated or win an award should do so because of their contributions regardless of how much they may want such an award...

its not to encourage people to win the award - its to reward those you deserve to be acknowledged.

i think it would encourage people to be fake, just so they can win a special award.

i am not for placing any member on a platform above others.

we each have different views on things/people, etc... what if i like someone that doesnt get an award? it could stir up a huge poop storm.

That's a really good idea, Tox. You know, I haven't said this in a long time, but you really are a valuable member here at Neowin. All the things you do just really make this place worthwhile.

Thanks again. You are awesome.

Fake like this? Yeah, in this case, screw the awards!

Unless there will also be a "Tom Servo Hates You Award"!

I vote tom servo as the best member Evar!

If we are, can't we implement this with like a user rating system?

And users with the best ratings go into finals or something :s ?

and request for karma rating comes up yet again :)

screw finals. just have the ability to list members by postcount/date joined/etc/karma.

I am thinking of an additional forum in General that posts can be moved to as a mark of good contribution.

I think maybe a forum where threads are praised might serve a better purpose than just nominating a small minority.
