Well Rol if it's any consolation, I have promised to improve myself on the site, and I'm serious about it.

Any other suggestions other than the seal of approval? I'm all ears

 

Sorry to get into, but I may have an idea.

I'll be straightforward: Much like a MPV (for sports) or a employee of the month, I think it would be good if we had an User of the Month on VGC.

I think it would not only celebrate great users but encourage a good amount of people to improve their posts/threads and all. I mean, this alone won't solve anything, but it might help overall.

I know this is mainly up to mods to decide, but I'm sure they're reading this thread. 

No need to be sorry, this thread serves this purpose.

User of the Month sounds like an interesting idea. You're right it would need to be run past the mods and discussed, but I have a few preliminary questions that you may be able to provide input on.

-Who would decide the User of the Month?

-What sort of rubric would be used in order to judge candidates? ie: Would it be a popularity contest following subjective principles or more of an objective decision based upon what the user brought to the site? What other possible traits could be used as prerequisites?

-What sort of reward would you like to see the User of the Month get? Something to put in their avatar or sig? A shout out in a thread?

 

Cheers

 

1- Mods. After all they are theoretically neutral.

2- Objective; based on what the user has brought up to the site on the previous month (quality of posts, projects, meaningful threads, etc. would all be things to be considered).

3- Yeah, maybe something on their avatars. Plus, a montly thread to announce the current User of the Month would be cool. 

And maybe as a bonus there should be a top 3 or top 5 to let other good users know they did well.
