| Suggestions&Thoughts&Poll: CacheWalker Forum Awards | |
| By: Griff Grof Date: December 7, 2012, 1:25 pm | |
| --------------------------------------------------------- | |
| Mentioned this idea in the Shoutbox, but wanted to make it a bit | |
| clearer here. This thread is for discussion, and opinions on the | |
| idea before dismissing or commencing with it ;D | |
| Basically we have a variety of awards awarded to members by the | |
| Forum, at the end of each year. Some of us thought that there | |
| was too much to do at our upcoming events to award physical | |
| prizes, but we could always award virtual ones - such as a | |
| golden badge next to winning members, visible across the entire | |
| site. I think that I can handle handing out a little prize to | |
| any winners at an event, anyway :) End of the World one would | |
| be simpler maybe, as we have less to organize there than at | |
| Twixmas. ;) | |
| What kinds of awards? Well, the main coveted one would be Member | |
| of the Year - a thread for nominating members, and then after a | |
| given amount of time we can have an online secret ballot on the | |
| site... With the winner not to be revealed until an event, or if | |
| not at an event on a given date eg 31st December. Admins can not | |
| be nominated for this award, but Moderators and regular members | |
| can, as long as they've made at least 1 post on the forum. | |
| Other awards could be "Best Photo-Geographer" (Most correct | |
| Where in the World guesses) and, well..... Why not suggest more | |
| ideas for awards below (I think 3-5, including Member of the | |
| Year, is a good amount, to keep it simple and a smaller number | |
| of them will make winning an award more special ) | |
| I think the awards would be a good way to promote and encourage | |
| use on the forum, and CacheWalker ;D | |
| Thoughts, rants, opinions, suggestions below :) :) | |

| Most interesting Geocaching Thread | |
| Most interesting Off Topic Thread | |
| Problem is, have forum members got the interest for this or are | |
| people just to busy at the moment, as things have gone quiet | |
| recently here (and on another certain forum) :o | |

| Well that's what this thread is about... An interest thread. We | |
| are getting 10+ members logging on per day, just not all of them | |
| posting :) | |
| Maybe send out a mail to all members letting them know, if there | |
| are 1 or 2 members like you who may be interested, then we can | |
| just go ahead and email letting people know that we're doing | |
| this ;D | |
| Good ideas by the way :) | |
| - Member of the Year - Nominations needed. Admins excluded. | |
| - Geo-photographer of the year - No nominations needed (just | |
| count up the most correct guesses) | |
| - Most interesting thread - nominations needed | |
| (your idea for the off topic one can be merged into "Most | |
| interesting thread" | |

| I am interested in this. I voted for on the site awards, as I | |
| though that would be a lot easier for you. But I am happy to go | |
| along with whatever. | |
| I am pretty busy personally at the moment. So much so that the | |
| End of the World event I will not be at, that will be a very | |
| busy work day for me. A pretty rubbish was to go out huh? | |
| Working till the end, whilst the rest of you party :'( | |
| I don't have any other clever suggestions for awards right at | |
| this second. But if I think of others that you have thought of I | |
| will post them up. | |

| Thanks to all six of you that voted ;D The Poll is locked, and | |
| the results are in :o | |
| We had 16.7%, 1 member, saying that they believed it wasn't the | |
| right time to hold a CacheWalker forum awards. | |
| Then, we had 2 members, 33.3%, agreeing that they don't mind | |
| either way if the awards take place. | |
| Next, we had 3 members, 50%, who were interested in the awards | |
| taking place. 2 of them thought an on-the-site award was better, | |
| whereas one believed an on-the-site award and a physical one at | |
| an event would be the best option. | |
| Taking all the results into consideration, you have decided that | |
| the CacheWalker Forum awards WILL go ahead :D... Including | |
| those who didn't mind what the outcome was, 5/6 members, and 3 | |
| specifically, felt that this was the right time for the awards. | |
| This has now been decided, and votes cannot be reversed :) | |
| So what next? Nominations for awards will open TOMORROW and | |
| close on Friday December 21st.... | |
| More details to be posted later on TONIGHT. These include | |
| details on the nomination and voting process, and the finalized | |
| list of Awards and categories. Watch this space! ;D | |
