LowEndTalk Community Awards

edited February 2012 in General

Hi Guys,

So far we have had a huge amount of feedback through our recent BrainStorm. Most of them have been feature requests so we have been reviewing those and placing them in to the roadmap. However one request that has surfaced in a few emails and doesn't require us to wait until we develop a new site is an ongoing LET Community Awards system.

So far shared is:

  • Member of the Month
  • Contributor of the Month
  • Tutorial of the Month
  • Post of the Month

Share your ideas in this thread, over the course of the next two months we will bring some ideas we plan to implement in to topics for community discussion.

Chief

    Troll of the month sounds fun!

    Just curious as to who will judge the winner of these awards.

    Troll of the month

    HoS: @ChicagoVPS_Chris - total lack of respect to clients
    Troll There are so many fine trolls here I will have to think some

    EDIT: Oh, were are still spitballing? Well then, I suggest most overuse of the word soon.

  • Troll of the month: I have the 2nd place

  • I nominate DrMike.

  • netomxnetomx Moderator, Veteran

    Dont start please... I dont to see other drmike/naruto/nozhost trash thread

  • I'll take Member of the Month and Contributor of the Month, thanks!

  • @miTgiB said: Well then, I suggest most overuse of the word soon.

    Well that one definitely goes to Fran.

    I like this idea. It'll be a good incentive for me to write some tutorials and other articles, which I've been meaning to do for a while.

  • @NickM said: I like this idea

    Yes, all trolling and joking aside, I think this is a great idea to get more positive contribution from everyone.

  • prometeusprometeus Member, Host Rep

    I think it's a good idea to award people for the contribute to the forum. Even if this don't stop trolls i think :-)

  • Let me start Troll of the Month again :)

  • Next to the Thanks button keep a Nominate button which gives a drop down on what you wanna nominate the comment/thread owner for . More posts, more chance for votes. Opening a separate nomination thread in my view will result in flames seeing how LET operates these days;)

    • Lets say 3 nomination per user per month for member of the month
    • every post can have a nomination from every user for the most useful post
      etc.,
  • prometeusprometeus Member, Host Rep

    Trolls and flames need two more buttons near the thanks link: hammer and water

  • I was actually nominating DrMike for serious, but its sad that hes gone now.

  • @Daniel, take another go at reading the first post.

    Back on topic >>
    Troll of the Month = 72hour Ban from LET ???

    Here's an idea of the voting system building on @peppr's idea. It will display how many votes for each category you have left. I agree this would be more successful than opening a separate topic each month to vote in.

  • Hahaha, that 72 hour ban idea sounds interesting. Intentional or just a "troll" ban?

    Thanked by 1DeletedUser
  • @Boltersdriveer according to that screenshot you've been trolled by @Chief

  • We should have a reputation system similar to MyBB.

    I saw most people troll in LET anyway. When some one is asking for something and people bashing or kind of start of with another sub topic or off topic or discussions.
    So, it is depend on how you define troll in LET. Sometime it is good to have off discussion but sometime it does not good at all. Because it can become bashing which ok for some and may not be for others.

    There are some people who make dedicated topics just to troll.

    I got 48 hours so far. Does ban time stack?

  • I would like to suggested a strike policy as well. Cumulative bantimes, permanent after the third.

    With people here that has more vps/vpn than hairs I don't thinks bans will be so effective :-)

    This must be real love! :p

  • @promotes - perhaps, but this isn't a chanboard... people do put some importance on their name's worth. And even if they simply started a new account, the annoying ones would be fairly easy to spot.

    You are right, I was mostly joking ;)

  • # Leaderboard
    The voting system on the backend will have a leaderboard, where we can see who at the end of the month tallys the highest. Secondly, it will also display to who voted for whom, this should avoid any signup + vote scenarios. We could also create the option whereby you need 25 posts before you can vote.

    # Monthly Prizes
    The monthly prizes we will look to at this stage is....
    256 or 512 Yearly VPS
    256 or 128 Yearly VPS
    2 LEB Invoices for the month paid!
    72 Hour Ban for troll of the week.

    However, if a provider is voted the monthly winner we have a pickle!
