Brushfire Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 'Bloodrun said: Quote Quote They were going to be every 6 months' date=' until they just stopped all together because of laziness.[/quote'] How do you know that? Just going by assumptions that people were just being lazy and didn't have better things to do then host Awards on a forum? Sorry not everyone can be like you. Because I was a moderator during this time. Everyone in the moderator forum was complaining about how they didn't want to do it, and how no one really cared about the awards anymore. Wait, I'm sorry I lied, almost everyone, there were some that didn't think that. Me, Darth, Opal I think, and maybe someone else. But of course "seniority" kicked in and crab got his way. That's how I know. Exodia one month was good back in the day. It's not the same anymore. Everyone thinks they are owed something now. Fair enough, I thought you were just stirring trouble again. And... ugh, I remembered Crab's seniority and how he thought that while FP and YCMaker weren't around he was in charge. I remember helping Browa debate against the whole 'Global Mod' idea and each one of Crab's replies were pretty much 'there's no downsides to it' over and over again. That's a fair point- things on YCM aren't anything like they used to be. Maybe 3 months would be a good change. But... the Moderators don't have to be in charge of the Awards- trustworthy members could do it too. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has to be at least one active General Mod or Super Mod. Because You and me both know that trollers who think it would be funny to spread some "cool story" will be there. And truthworthy members won't be able to do anything except send reports to an empty Mod Team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he does any un-called bannings like he did earlier, then I recommend that said person take it up with Browarod of Umbra. Anyway, I feel that if the Mod Team isn't up to doing it one month/one 3rd month then I don't see why a member of the Council couldn't host it that month and the Mods of General/Super Mods keep it under control.

CinnamonStar Posted October 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 About some members winning again and again, I mean guys, the voting is in your hands. If you don't like it then vote for someone else?Also, there's nothing that can be done about it, even after a year. If people think the same person deserves an award again then that's their choice. Bloodrun: The midsummer Awards were around June, I think. So the next ones would have been in December. But that's the reason why I thought about reviving them, I found 6 months too long as well.:/ 'Bloodrun said: Because I was a moderator during this time.

OmegaWave Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 I was wondering what happened to the awards since Summer. But it's good to see that they could be returning. It actually gives members something to work towards instead of lazing around. Perhaps YCMaker can get in on this and make actual awards to win. Like the Twitter Award.

The Ruby Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Wouldn't seasonal be 4 times a year? (i.e. Winter, Spring, Summer, & Fall)I voted Other for 4x/year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CinnamonStar Posted October 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Well if you want to do it the next time I don't see why not.0_oLike I said before no one said anything about that he wants to post the next Awards. Ruby: Yeah seasonal is every 3 months and 4 times.*counts* That would be like... December, March, June, September....yeah something like that.

Lemniscate Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 I would say once every month, considering the amount of shifting that seems to happen in popularity, and the state of the forum every month. Internet time works differently than regular time, and anyone who has spent any time on a forum can see that. I believe that having it every month allows for the most accurate barometer of member's popularity on the site, and provides the most reasonable data and support to the social population here.

Kizzi Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 I think probably 3 months for full awards that need more time, and the most important and fluctuating awards every month. Or maybe just every month. I dunno, I suppose I'll go with the flow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catman25 Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 "Seasonal/every 3 months" Every month would make it lose importance imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great Unclean One: VK Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 Quote Quote I would say every three months but I accidentally chose every month in the poll.Every 3 minths would be perfect since the forum keep evolving and new stars arise and old members leave. He makes a good point. I chose three months. Agreed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muluck Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 Every 3 months sounds like a good idea. Points have been made about the evolving state of the forum, by making the awards every 3 months I think that would successfully compensate for the new comers. As well as keep every member interested without wear and tear on the upbringing and keeping of each "electon". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
