Poster of the Month is an award for the Poster. This does not mean that the award is for the best Post - it does not mean it is a reward for the best thread. The reward is for the member.

The reward is not a QP. There have been NO QP awarded in conjunction with the title since Asmodean, Ravyn and I have been handling PotM in the tavern.

There has never been any intention of awarding a QP for PotM. At this point I don't know if you guys are just making some sort of joke that I really don't get... or if you truly have not been able to understand what we've been telling you. I do not know how we can make it any clearer.


Poster of the Month is simply a title. There is no QP associated with that title.

As for the matter of spam in certain threads, and a decline in quality posts I think that the best suggestion I can give would be to look to your own posting to see what you can do to rectify the problem.

My vote for poster of the month goes to terje_the_mad_wizard for his historical account of Norwegian moisturizing skin cream. I feel that's the best post I've seen in a very long time. I haven't had such a good laugh since TheUltimateMale and his critique of online computer geeks.


I don't know what you would consider worthy of being quality - but in my eyes when someone makes a post that gets this reaction from a member, it is worthy.

IMO PoTM so far has been a toss because of the terms for it seem to differ from time to time. At first you get nominated with a thread, then its the attitude your posts consists of...

Id say its a toss, sure it gives no QP:s and is merely for fun but as long as the criterias for PoTM is inconsistant and just stupid it gives no fun IMO.

So far IMO the PoTM just seem like an excuse to show off daddys potm image

Add to that that people here are stupid and vote stupid, TUM has made some of the best posts around here the past few months.. if PoTM was a decent price he would have gotten it.

So i agree with platon on this one, only the wise people should be able to vote

So basically we're all morons because we don't agree with you and thus only you should be able to vote for PoTM and nobody else?

And if you don't like Daddy's PoTM banner then why not make your own?

read what i say you foobum, when i refer to wise people i do refer to more people then myself.. in this case wise would be the ones with knowledge of this msgboard.

Different opinions is good, as long as they are thought through.

And i also have no problems with the potm banner, to be honest i find it rather funny and if you had read what ive said instead of making a boring toss maybe you would have realised that

youre taking the quote out of context, read the whole text if you are to respond to it.

Making out of context quotes are no fun...

for example..

And voila you have agreed to the fact that you being the foobum

Back on topic PoTM needs better standards and criterias and they will need to be made clear so people know what to vote from.

LOL! that was funny Stefan

Okay, so what you're saying is that we don't have a set standard for what should qualify the PotM to recieve the Title, right?

Thats a fair enough point, maybe more people would participate if we set a few guidelines as to what we're looking for

Suggestions?

lol, that's cute - except for Calvin's not always right! I am j/k!

A while back i asked for opinions on how Red Stars should be awarded, and didn't get much of a response so I thought I would try again

Quote:
I've had several requests for red stars, people pointing out to me where stars should be awarded and people commenting about where they shouldn't be awarded. All of this has got me wondering what the members of today would like to see by way of how quality points are awarded.

I would like to know from you guys, what you feel the Moderators should be looking for.


So what do you guys think? (note I'm talking about the tavern only here)

I think it's fine the way it is. Basically you have enough mods that one of you should be able to have the same tastes in humor as the rest of the community.

I think that Daddy's post in Minks Appreciation Thread page 6 really deserves a red star.

and don't forget my post in the same thread page 7 about a platypus. I'm sure that Pandora will find it interesting, Asmodean has never heard it before, it has never been posted in HC before and it adds flavor to the entire thread!

So what that it's a copy paste material, i spent a lot of time searching for it!

and if you have decided to give qps to a copy paste post, then you should better stick to it, because in my opinion all threads that are funny and interesting really deserve a qp!

Copy Paste QPs are not allowed because you have annoying QP hunters that go out and just copy paste everything just to get a QP. Trust me it's really annoying.

I fully agree... Do i have to mention a certain thread that was lately defended by some known mods not willing to admit that it is bad?

In my opinion, there is an area of grey for everything. Redsox's point is a good one, some people will do that - however as mods we can also recognize that and move the threads to the wastelands. The spammer that thinks that spawning a new thread everytime he gets a funny email will quickly get bored with this. On the other hand a lot of people don't do that, sometimes when reading a thread  something will pop into another member's mind that they figure would add to the thread, so they go out and find it , I don't think that's a bad thing.

RealDeal: there can only be one Aculias

Please just say what you have to say rather then the hem-haws ok?  Do you have to mention it? Well i guess you thought so, cuz you did... some known mods... you mean tavern mods, cuz the post was in tavern? gosh, that'll take some sleuthin to figure out

In any case, about that thread - Asmodean made a decision, and I stand behind him. You can pretty much count on it that I'm always gonna do that. The only way I won't is if he violates the CoC or becomes biased, I have enough confidence in him to know he won't do either, so there.

Ratmonkey I read the posts you referred to, and agreed with both Nice stuff!

Sorry to ave missed this debate, I went home for the first time snce moving away this weekend - separate story - but I gave my reasons behind that QP at the time, so I won't state them again, but to reiterate Pandora's post that QP hunter's will be spotted and Wastelanded.

Edit: As a separate topic, a week or so ago we had a few members in confusion as to what should be the qualifying factors for a PoTM nomination.
We still haven't heard any suggetions.

Something for you all to think on.

Perhaps it should be given to someone who's made some constructive/fun posts all through the month, with mnimum spam...

It should be given to someone who strive to make the Tavern what it's called: A Tavern, instead of turningit into kindergarden But that tendency is greatly lessened now that all these horrible word games and "RPGs" are thrown out...

Okay, 2 good suggestions, I think the first speaks for itself.
But how do you propose making Tavern more 'Taverny'?

Maybe we could hire some strippers?

Well, maybe by rewarding the posters who are on board with the idea of making the tavern more taverny it would increase the number of taverny posts in the tavern?

Problem is that I think the people who make the taverniest posts are likely not so interested in stars...

So what then? Lead by example? Have another contest for the taverniest poster?

Input guys?
