Member of the Month

Can we have a member of the month competition where we can vote for our favourite member of the month? There are a couple of people here who always make me smile. Maybe they could get points towards a T-shirt.

Reading the topic title quickly, I thought it was going to be compare member size competition.  How juvenile can I be! 

 


You mean like:

'I was nearly member of the month this month'.

''Really?''

'Yeah, only missed out by half an' .. etc

That really hadn't crossed my mind.

Actually, I think that is a good idea, but let's see what the chess.com admin thinks :)

sure :) why don't we start voting now here on this thread? or we can take nominations and then use the SURVEY feature...

I realize there is a nice aspect to human nominations, but chess.com could consider an automatic nomination system. For example, the members who accumulate the top 5 most points that month could go on the ballot. Or some other measure that chess.com comes up with. You could alternate months between nominations "by hand" and nominations by some numeric calculation. Just a thought.

There are many good choices for the first winner that I could select from, but I think that I too will have to vote for Erik. He deserves it, there is no doubt about it.

For entertainment value I have to say xbigboy, but batgirl puts a lot of effort in and her posts are really good Foot in mouth err , I toss a coin. Can't believe I actually did that on my own. Batgirl won. Thats 2 for Batgirl.

Personally I can't think of anything worse than winning "member of the month", don't mean to be a killjoy or anything (who am I kidding? I love being a killjoy!) but this sort of thing can get out of hand on online communities, so far the community here has been mostly awesome, but having what's basically a popularity contest in the forums may be the first step towards changing this.

 

Just my opinion, I may be over-reacting ofcourse, and maybe its just my jealousy at work, reaising I'll never be member of the month :P

I agree with Puppaz. Member of the month can get out of hand really fast.

 Instead of "member" of the month, why not have "blog", "forum topic", or "article" of the month. Then it is less about personality or popularity and more about what is being contributed to the site. Also, multiple categories means more people "win".
