Im pretty upset about scrapping the solid voters idea. I was trying for it, I replyed to everyone that was still open for voting. I guess I just couldn't get on enough. I know many others were trying very hard for the position, it really helped things in the voting board. I saw alot of very good votes, most were detailed and very helpful. This idea is a very good one, and I am sad to see that it got 'scrapped'.
The whole 'Solid Voters' would take alot of the pressure off of the mods(Josh, and Matt) and would get things moving faster in the voting board. The members would have more fun in voting, since they would have something to aim for. Though it has been said only a few people would qualify for the spot, I don't see this as a reson for dropping the idea.
I jsut got pretty upset over this, since its a great way to help SSD. Though i will not stop voting, I like voting. This would just help the whole DID section out.
Thanks for your time guys.

I agree with you. It was a great idea. And it really got the board much more activer. But, sadly, now that the whole idea is "Scrapped", just expect it to go back to it's inactive-stage. Calling it off was a bad idea.  |

You know, I think that having this implemented on certain members would just wear off over time (the excitement of it, etc).
How about doing something like this monthly or bi-weekly? You know, honoring/encouraging the members who have really been trying, and giving them that title for awhile. Doing this would also encourage others to continue trying, and [hopefully] keep up the activity.
I was reading through the idea just yesterday, and I was really disappointed to see that it had been scrapped. It should definitely be continued, as it's a nice idea.

Yeah, I agree. It was a great idea. I definitely regret not getting involved. It seemed like such a good idea. I agree with Whitney though that it should be done every two weeks or even every month. And have prizes given out. Seem's like a great idea. Should be done again.  |

The idea was only done because Matt wanted to. Oliver and myself were both against it because it had failed before. I hardly noticed any increase in activity, and to be frank, I didn't notice many people trying to get it. Having one, maybe two people taking part isn't what we were looking for.
We just didn't see what we had hoped to see, even with the extra week. I was still forced to vote in every battle, when the one of the major points of it was to make it where I wouldn't have to vote in every single one. It's just that not enough people showed enough want to do it.
Sorry we scrapped it guys, but this was the second time it failed. Perhaps when the forum comes out of this flunk that it is in right now we will attempt again. Right now the only thing we have planned is a seasonly 'Voter of the Season Award'. Sorry.

'Voter of the Season Award' doesn't sound too shabby. I guess we will have to deal with that for now. Thanks for the help Josh.  |

In theory, people shouldn't really need a week or two to prove themselves. Similar to being a mod, its the ones who will just do it without having awards dangled infront of them. I know there are probably a good number of you who do that anyway. I think that is a good thing to reward, doesn't have to be seasonal but when it is required.

No doubt, Ollie. It just seems as though it'd encourage members to vote more, increasing activity, making everyone happy, blahblahblah.

lol Whit. It should encourage, but it didn't. I saw nothing different from anyone. Most people seemed to vote less. The people that did vote more (ever so slightly more) did post more comments and such, but I still don't think there was enough improvement for a reward. Perhaps we will do it the way Ollie said. If someone has been voting continously and very well for a while, they will log on with a shiny new title and permission to use our beautiful sig. |

It isn't meant to. People should be rewarded for their doings. We shouldn't have to offer you something in order to get you to vote.

People won't be motivated, it's only a petty forum with no strings pulling them around, no law if they don't do something, they can leave and never come back for all they care.  |

None of you were there when the battle board was going under the ditches and me and a couple of guys were doing all the voting. Not even Luke and Ryan. And now you make a thread about it? Funny indeed.
