Community Awards

I'm not quite sure why my idea has been skipped over.

Why are we making the event into a public vote? Just use trusted judges.

The public doesn't even need to know the categories being judged. The group dictating the event can decide types to monitor each month, then rewards active members of the community with mini-ranks and appreciation. The system can change each month; that pushes people just generally to stay contributing to the community. This type of system should be designed to promote long-lasting activity, not just a one time juice at the end of each month that has everyone biased vote. That is pointless and will die off like the previous attempts.

I figured I'll say it once more before letting it go; it just seems like it solves all of the issues people are speaking about right now.

You won't find "unbiased" judges here on Sythe. These judges would also have to excluded from the voting, and I don't see that being possible if they earned the right to be included in the ballot.

That's always possible. We can have a Best Non-Staff/Non-CDT Member category, and then a best CDT member and best Staff member category.



Perhaps it could be integrated into Sythe Quarterly? Would everyone before monthly or Quarterly/Seasonally?

I don't mind, but I'd like to see a change in function if possible.

 

Bump, i think this would promote alot more activity for prizes , ranks, mini ranks.

Could be a week before the month ends for voting

No support, sounds dumb honestly. But I'm just a no one :|

I was kinda of active when the community awards were around and i agree with excelont's point about more activity involving member's, and i don't believe that all the popular people who won before are still around so it may be more competitive, so support

The voting system is what killed it. Whoever got the most votes in the first 10 posts always won because it was just follow the leader after that.

I defiantly wont participate without anonymous voting.

So you're suggesting.. perhaps a different voting system?

A google doc form? Pm your votes?

either change the voting system or this is just a huge waste of time

 

We already have the Sythe Awards yearly.

It has similar categories and voting, people get handed out minis and announced in the Sythe Quarterly.

I think at the end of the year is fun, but monthly/quarterly is too often.

we could do two rounds of voting. round one where people toss names into a bag to give people 10 (?) names to pick from for each category. round two where the actual voting happens.

or could just do a surveymonkey/strawpoll/typeform and ask people to vote in one round, but i feel like a lot of the people who vote don't really know too many people on-site so may be best to give them a shortlist to pick from

 

dont agree tbh, that shit was always cringe dicksuck fest anyway, and community inactive market faggots would always just message everyone they knew to vote for them.
