Member Of The Month

[Deadfire]

I think the sig/avatar meant that one of the badass gifted people here would volunteer to make a nice new combo for the winner. However, there are still lots of people here who simply prefer to make their own just for the fun of doing it.

Well, I was just screwing around with that post of mine, anyway. A bad habit. To be serious, temp rep has the drawback that if it's temp, it will be taken away at some point. I don't know how nice it would be to get 500 boost, and then after a month lose it. Losing it would probably suck more than getting it gladdened.

Well the rep system is not one that should be depended on to make people happy. Remember what Complich8 said about this. To give positive rep to someone would have the same effect to that person as it would normally. To some will be very happy, and others could care less

you think so?

Case and point (How mage wrote a 3 word post that I agree with and am not going to count as a shit post I don't know.) Rep is what you make out of it. Like what I said before a reaction from a prize will differ from person-to-person. It depends of what they feel about it.

I think that the winner should receive a temporary custom title. A custom title seems to be a really good prize imo, but if this is really a monthly thing, then after a few months everyone and their dog would have a custom title. Giving out a title like "Member of the Month" to each month's winner would be cool, just so long as they lost it when the next winner was chosen.

A Custom title has its ups as well, and yes if we start handing them out every month it will get to a point that almost everyone would have one. Thus making something like this useless. Everyone right now would love this type of thing right now, however the vice makes this a little harder to do as we look at it more

The problem with a custom title is that soon anyone that's anyone will have a custom title when they reach 2500 rep. This is also assuming that no noobs will win, so for a reg poster to win this would be useless.

XDM as the guy has the most Rep out of everyone you should see that it can take a very long time for this to happen, and as the rep system grows in it's use we can see people will develop their own system on giving rep, so you can lose a lot of your rep quickly if your not careful. People may get jealous of your rep and may give you negative rep because of it. It may not happen in that way but it's possible.

Dunno. I have visited forums where custom titles are either free to choose right from the beginning, or after some post count, or where admins dictate them independently for the members, without colsulting the recipients (this produces quite interesting and crazy results). To be frank, it's more interesting than the regular system, which is in use here. After all, custom titles are creativity whereas a purely post count dependent system is just another post count meter, and thus kind of redundant once you have seen all the available titles.

This is very true, however here we try at least to keep an even ground for everyone to walk on. To give something as a prize it must at least be on that ground and above it.

I purpose this make up a prize not using my list, see what we can get out of everyone else's heads. This can help with other things as well and not just this. I will continue to read and weigh your opinions as your input helps these forums become better.
