[FF Notice] Member of the Month Update

**Blaaaaaaaah** · 05-01-2009, 02:52 PM

Due to recent developments within the Fiesta community, we feel that it is best that we post-pone our Member of The Month event, until further notice.

We try to make this forum and fun and fair place, but apparently, no matter what we do, we cannot make everyone happy. So, in order to cut down on drama and accusations, we figure it was best to just not select anyone until things cool down for a while.

We will reevaluate the program and see if we can come up with a way of selecting the member of the month where the members can PLAINLY see that our decisions are based solely on the how that particular person acts on the forum and contributes to the forum.

So, and even bigger congratulations to Leesa, Gandolph, and Ivramire for being the first three MoTM. And until further notice, the only three.

If any of the members have any suggestions on how you see is the best way to select the Member of The Month, then please feel free to put suggestions in here.

We have ALWAYS stated that we are open to suggestions.

Thank you for your time.

Why don't you hold nominations and voting?
That way the members have more of a say on who it is and then there
is less complaining.

Loveless posted earlier that we're always open for nominations.

That doesn't exactly work, though, as evidenced by other voting contests. People are going to whine, piss, bitch, and moan no matter what.

Nominations were always there and I thought voting/favoritism was part of the problem in the first place, so yeah.

Frankly can't see how it could be changed, part of the problem is that there'll be complications if certain people were selected.

Oh my bad, I thought the PoTM was just chosen by mods xD
Yeah, sometimes to in the nominating case it's just how popular a person is, bad idea on my part I guess.

**Loveless** · 05-01-2009, 10:44 PM

We do choose them only because no one else steps up to nominate an individual. We've been saying since our first MotM that we're open for nominations (with back-up statements as to why they should be).

**Sparkeh** · 05-02-2009, 12:59 PM

Loveless posted that...

Why don't you guys search for something usefull posted my a member and make him MoTM...Like Ivra

Leesa became MoTM? Since when?

**Blaaaaaaaah** · 05-02-2009, 02:42 PM

Since the first month.

Everyone is helpful on the forums but it is kind of hard to "pick one" that should get special recognition. We only have 12 months a year and a year alone cannot even accommodate half of the helpful people here.

Anyway, we may have found a new/better approach for this.

xD This might not be very helpful but just a possible thought...

Like the nomination things.. how they have to put why they think this person should be recognized.
Have a poll that says all the things this person has done to help out the site and contribute.
But without stating the persons name.

But by doing that it's not 100% keeping the person annonymous ofcourse, which would be sort of hard to do since this is sorta of a close nit-ish site. But just a thought ^^'
