Member Of The Month

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.

That's why I think it's a good idea to have a specialized custom title (or even an avatar or sig) for the winner. Something that says "I won the member/worst poster of the month contest this month". That way it would separate itself from all the other custom titles out there. If the prize was permanent, we'd get more and more people with custom titles, larger sigs, special privillages, or what have you every single month (or whenever this contest would take place).

I dunno, I don't think any permanent prize would be a good idea because with a contest like this after a while it wouldn't be special anymore - assuming its held more than once.

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

I think you missed the point of my suggestion. I was using the custom title as an example, but what I'm saying could be used for any prize. Yeah, you "start handing out" prizes to the winners, but take the prize away when a new winner is chosen, making it relevent only to the current winner. That way you wouldn't have an overflow of people with special privillages after only a few months.
