Forum Best Member Of The Year

[GeorginaBailliesNumber1Fan]

Here's an idea for the forum.

How about having a poll for best member of the year.(or call it something like that)

They are so many members on here that are so dedicated to their hobbie.

so many members contribute a lot of time and effort into making these forums so enjoyable for all of us

I am sure whoever won the poll would be a very proud person indeed.

You are right about one thing there are a lot of dedicated hard working enthusiasts who contribute to make this forum what it is,

 

It would be very hard to pick out just one person for the accolade you suggest, I personally don't think there is any need for an award for the best Forum member others may disagree

 

I for one don,t do it for others i do it for myself, but if other members enjoy what we do well that's a bonus and that's good enough for me 

 

As for a poll/vote we have a job to get members to press the like button let alone vote in any poll

I agree with a few of Gary's points there. Whilst the idea of having this sort of award or recognition appears a nice idea I feel that it is not necessary either. 

There are a few reasons I say this. Firstly, as Gary said and myself included here I don't post anything to be rewarded or for any potential accolade. I do so because I enjoy being on the forum and because I like to share photos of my models, fairs etc. add reports so that the archive is sustained and to chat with like minded people in the hobby and promote it whilst enjoying the posts others contribute.

By having a reward system certain people may feel left out or unrecognised for their efforts. It is no secret that we are blessed with some very active members who contribute photos and reports  on a higher scale than most of us. If we are only choosing one overall "winner" per year this would be almost impossible. For example member X may have contributed 1000 photos, member Y has contributed no photos but covered a few thousand miles compiling reports and then you have member Z who has done neither of the above but always posts answers to questions, ID's unknown owners and knows a lot of inside knowledge of ownership changes etc.

Three very valuable members but all equally worthy. In my opinion we need to take notice of hitting the like button more and where we can add useful additions to threads.

In my view ANYONE who posts something positive about fun fairs to this forum is a winner.

This may include photos, comments, dates of fun fairs, reports, etc.

Ironically I haven't had as much time this year to post on here because I have been going to more fun fairs!

I am strongly against the idea for the reasons given above.

Sorry not in favour of a best member award, I have to agree with Simons reply above,  and show your apprecation of members input via the use of the Like Button

[Paul McHaddan]

All i want is a like/thanks & it makes it all worth while for me weather it a report, spotted, photos, ride changes any information etc

Also, we already have 'Popular Contributors' that does a 'regularly changing' similar job and offers ten chances to 'shine'.
