Calum Veteran Posted November 8, 2008 Veteran Share Posted November 8, 2008 Ok, I didn't know where to post this, but obviously Hum has his very own forum where he constantly, daily, posts news...strange news :D & all very interesting news :) Even though it isn't technology related, he seems like part of the staff & all the technology news staff are staff & have red badges. What I'm suggesting is maybe make Hum officially part of the staff, with his own member badge or something (maybe something wacky; like rainbow, or multicoloured). Is there a reason he isn't staff? Because he contributes a lot to the forums & always makes our day more interesting. I don't want to annoy any staff or administrators with this thread, it's just a suggestion. I think he deserves it aswell :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sundayx Veteran Posted November 8, 2008 Veteran Share Posted November 8, 2008 He does deserve something, but having his own staff badge is a bit much... maybe he should have a custom badge set instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Gary7 Subscriber² Posted November 8, 2008 Subscriber² Share Posted November 8, 2008 Gary is envious- he wants a Gary7 Real World Issues section :p No, I just believe that a member should not have a custom badge. Or have the Dev's design one for all of us. Yes that's the ticket 216,000+ custom badges. :woot: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 i wouldn't say copying and pasting news is contributing to me, i'd rather see "awards" to people who write their own stuff or help people Can I have a special badge?

Calum Veteran Posted November 8, 2008 Author Veteran Share Posted November 8, 2008 No, I just believe that a member should not have a custom badge. Or have the Dev's design one for all of us. Yes that's the ticket 216,000+ custom badges. :woot: Yes, but he contributes more to the forums than the average member. Bad idea. Why? You can't just say that without giving your reasons. i wouldn't say copying and pasting news is contributing to me, i'd rather see "awards" to people who write their own stuff or help people Why isn't it? It's very time consuming & Hum spends a lot of time doing this for us forum members, to brighten up our day & give us something interesting to read. It's still time consuming searching the internet & finding these stories, aswell. He does deserve something, but having his own staff badge is a bit much... maybe he should have a custom badge set instead. This might be a better idea than what I suggested. There may be a reason why he is not part of the staff & maybe that makes sense, but his own special custom badge is a very good idea in my eyes.

+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted November 8, 2008 Subscriber² Share Posted November 8, 2008 Hum contributes a hell of a lot on NW, but he has his own section named after him for that. I don't think we need specific badges for members. The MVC badge represents highly valued contributors already :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's still time consuming searching the internet & finding these stories, aswell. time consuming? yes, worth it? no look at the current MVCs, specifically budman, he'll read a topic and always write a decent answer with things the OP needs to think about and if they want help about a program he'll produce screenshots that are relevant etc. "Hum"'s postings on the other hand don't help anyone and can be found anywhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkymunky Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 hmmmm You guys do release that Hum is just an AI Bot created by Neobond and Sir Trevor McDonald don't you??

NW is fueled by members contributing original items, and by contributing news from around the globe. Yeah you can find things elsewhere, but the reason we use NW is so we can discuss things here, with the NW userbase. What Hum does is definitely worth it for NW :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercellus Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 I would recommend the MVC badge for Hum for all of the information that he contributes to this community on a daily basis. Also, by not giving him his own personal badge, it will prevent other members from complaining and wanting one of their own as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
