Member of the year?

Cultist · 03-26-2012, 09:19 AM

While the entire community is helpful here, I've noticed that there are a few people who go above and beyond. Seems like most of the more complicated questions I ask are generally answered by one of a few different people. The same goes for a lot of the questions I look at when I'm just browsing around.

So I was thinking, maybe for the next awards, we could nominate and vote on a Member of the Year - someone who has shown themselves to be an exceedingly helpful and active member of LQ.

Anyway, just a thought.

I vote for Cultist

Thanks for the feedback. We don't have any plans to add a Member of the Year category, but a way to reward exemplary members is something we'd certainly be interested in. If anyone has ideas or feedback on that topic, I'd be interested in hearing it.

An all expense trip to the Coachella Valley and the carrot festival therein?

When I saw the thread title I was thinking more like the employee of the month that they have in many stores. I think that might be some sort of reward, but I'm not sure how it would be determined, probably not by voting.

I'd say you should go for a month, see who was most helpful, who deserved the most, in whatever way, to be a member of the month, by simply showing that somewhere on LQ and adding why.

For example;
Member of the Month is (link)
He/She did that and that and we would like to thank him/her for that.

I believe that would be reward itself and I believe that it is needed.

How would you decide who is the member of the year/month/week/day/hour?
Which criteria would you use?
For me helping the members is the main goal of LQ, and rewarding enough on itself.

Kind regards

You forgot to add minute and second.

Well I would let that for Jeremy aka root to decide and maybe mods helping him out in doing so.

If you ask me members have given so much to LQ that I'd say they deserve to be given something back, by LQ itself.
I know that nobody is forcing anyone to come here and help, but some kind of appreciation for the members who do, would be lovely.

If I were in Jeremy's shoes, knowing that without its members LQ wouldn't be what it is, I could understand why he said;
