NFS unlimited Awards...

Post by TheStig »

I was just thinking....

At a other board (IGN.com) there was a NFS award, so I think wre can do the same thing...

set up a few catagories like:

- Best poster
- nicest poster
- Best Spammer (most posts in last period...)
- most helpfull

Just for pure honor... :lol: 8)

fixed :wink:

about the awards, i'm not sure if i'm against or for it yet..........need time to think. i've got so much to do right now, my brains in overdrive :roll:

i'd have to disagree with the best spammer award though or any award that would encourage people spamming all sorts of rubbish just to increase there post count........it's against the rules

Heh - the old Stig tends to rush the typing sometimes! I believe it's supposed to read 'NFS Unlimited Awards - A Good Idea?'. It's the g-f finger error that's got you, it did me for a while too!

He's talking about a similar setup in place on the IGN forums where posters are 'awarded' certain titles based on their activities - most helpful poster, most active poster, etc etc...

I think I got that right, didn't I Stig? Perhaps you can give us the full list of awards you're thinking of mate?

Yep, I'm with you there Abrams - reward good practice in the forums. I wonder how to actually implement a given award - perhaps create some special user categories and assign the current awarded user to that category? Then it would show below their nick on every post they make...

MY best NFS food iS PIZZA.... :P

what I ment with spammer is best poster in amouth of post in recent time (normal usefull posts... not pure spam for higher rating)

AND I think a member can do the whole system so the admin and mods don't haver to worry about the work that goes into it..

complete list:

- Nicest poster
- Most helpfull poster
- worst poster (encurrage to be nicer/more usefull to community)
- Best spammer (positve way)
- Veteran board member
- Best nOOb (aslo positive)
- Best member overall (can't be voted but show and the awards...)

Pure for honor maybe you get on the cover of Chrom und Flammen...:P

Mm, like the choices, just think the 'best spammer' options maybe needs rewording to make it more representative.

This *could* be worked into the site in such a way that it was member driven, buy implementing a voting system - members could vote for other members in the various categories. How does it work at 'that other forum'?? Is it admin/mod driven, by user votes, or what??

i don't think a memebr will be able to do it............if he was, he would have to have access that only admin have to apply the ranks to any user.

Yep, figured that. Unless stig is thinking of a different way of showing the awards, like a congratulatory forum post or sth.. still, I thikn it best if the database handles things if possible, with better than 3000 users, it could well be a big job!

at IGN a (normal) member did it...

every member (who wanted to vote) place his list like this

- Nicest poster = Hans
- Most helpfull poster = fairyprinces
- worst poster = John
- Best you knwo what = chcken
- Veteran board member = Helmut
- Best nOOb (aslo positive) = mrnono

and the counting at the end was done like the challenges here.. :D
that was basicily it...

maybe needs some work here...

Hmm, well maybe we should think about giving it a try - can't hurt to have a trial run in the forum first to gauge support for the idea. If it works, then it might be further built into the site..

Just need to think hard about the categories, make sure they don't encourage people to break the site rules or bring anyone down. Like the Worst Poster thing - don't think that should be there for example.

everything sounds ok, except those awards that go - worst poster /Best spammer - i think viper made a good point in it. Awards should be for some good achievement, not for spamming. That's just wrong. But you have enough other stuff on the list... I think spammers should be ignored - this isn't a shchool to educate them - and if they spam - it's a personality part, and will have nothing to do with any reward to encourage them to do otherwise. I mean a spammer usually spams on all forums, so you won't stop it. so that idea is bad.
rest is good.
