[jon] Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam.sproul Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john smith 1924 Veteran Posted June 25, 2004 Veteran Share Posted June 25, 2004 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[jon] Posted June 25, 2004 Author Share Posted June 25, 2004 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.

Toxikk Veteran Posted June 25, 2004 Veteran Share Posted June 25, 2004 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.

Adrian Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 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 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Glowstick Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 Bleh. I'd prefer "Most Disruptive Member Award", but then again, I slowed down a bit since my last ban. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven P. Administrators Posted June 25, 2004 Administrators Share Posted June 25, 2004 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
