Does anyone else think that we should have a "User of the week"...Uh, week? Anyone agree and think its a good idea?

It could be interesting. As long as it didn't cause friction between members. No arguments, thank you!
I guess it would depend on the criteria for it...

True...

Oh yeah! And dont worry, I dont argue with others...

I agree with Krystal, it's an interesting concept. I see two possible drawbacks. First, selecting the criteria (hours spent on line? Number of posts made? What would you use?). The second is the biggest one in my opinion and that would be time from the admins busy schedule to judge the criteria.

Both of these could be overcome, for instance if you use something simple like time on line it could even be automated with the computer posting the winner. I guess I would be in favor of it, but wish you LOTS of luck in getting admin interested in it.

On the other hand, if you use time online, a person could cheat they're way in by leaving the window open.

...I didnt think of any of this...

Don't get me wrong, I think it's an interesting idea. I was just trying to point out a couple of the more obvious reasons why it will be a hard sell to admin.

What I suggest, is that you study a little more on this idea, then when you have a defined set of criteria and a fair means of judging them, that you submit a formal proposal to admin!

The admins will not approve and I am almost certain, although the idea has crossed my mind. If they took away the top posters list, they'll never say yes to this.

hmmm..that would be interesting

Thank you Erica...

Oh, I know!

you could have more than one user of the week.

Persay:

1. user with most posts that week
2. user with most questioned answered in topics
3. etc., etc. ...

Let's see:

LadyCFII,

Hmm, I see some redundancy

That's about right Jazzo. Unless the admins don't count, then it might be less redundant.... note the key word "might" there.

The admins dont count.....There is a Top-5 though...

just choose the person with the most posts that week, or the nicest person to newbies or the most helpful, or somebody who won a contest, or somebody who has just reached 100 or 1000 or 10000 posts, or the person with the best ideas that week or the person who posted last that week or first that week.
I think one of these would be okay.

That would be...exciting.

Who just does the choosing, though?

How about forum members choosing,say, through a new poll? Nice idea HitsuHina...

Thank you

Well,thank you all for your opinions

Ya it's not a bad idea, I would help, although I don't think Im experienced enough yet. I would definitely look forward to hearing the winners (or whatever you call them)

maybe it could have something to do with the newbies too because, since they are new they already have a disadvantge

I spelled disadvantage wrong, sorry about that

No need to apologize

I just can't spell.

Well, noone has been nice to me. I guess I'm doing things wrong. What must a newbie do?

I can't spell either. No one

Hey MosesMom! Don't say that! I was new and no one was mean to me! I'd be happy to be your friend if you like

Well, I know of a certain *cough* individual that would appreciate your posting in the Introductions section! (Right, Rockmower? )

Lol!

How do you post there?? And Thank-you HitsuHina.. I's like that.
And thank you too Krystal. Ya know, I'd love a poem!

Go to the main forum page, click on Introductions, and at the top of the list of topics there is a thing you can click on that says New Topic. Put in some info about your self, title the post, and hit submit!

Thanks... I'll do that. Peace

you know, it seems like you always say peace at the end of you comments, you can make it your signature so that you don't have to actually write it every time...

Just a bit of well intended advise...:)

Good Idea

Hey Krystal,Mosesmom,Hitsuhina,Jocelyn and everyone else. And "hey" is shortspeak for hitherehowyadoin in my area.Anyway-this discussion reminded me I haven't posted an introduction either. My only excuse being I'm such a slow learner!!! So thank you Krystal for once again setting me on the right path.

Hehe, Hi Meems
