Link Posted February 6, 2015 Author Share Posted February 6, 2015 Hi guys! So, we're trying out something new. It may not be exciting and it may not be all that, but I was at home thinking about how to best reward the good members of eclipse and the future members. So we, the eclipse staff, will be choosing one member every month who has shown passion towards the site and or community, been helping around the site, been interactive with other members and or even the staff and have been showing that they deserve some recognition.I've taken it upong myself to not only offer this member with a custom user group "Member of the month" but also even more juicy rewards to reap. This will include cash payments of 5-10$. Forum points ranging from 1k-3k. A banner on the site dedicated to the member as well.Why am I doing this? I'm hoping it will encourage a positive attitude from the community. We have even more updates coming your way, for now that's about it. Note: This may be changed a little as it is a draft. Everything is being worked out.Regards, Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marsh Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Better put a clause you cant win twice in a row or ill end up winning every month! ;)Joking aside, it sounds like a great idea! Will definitely make people want to be more helpful. Could bring a lot of positive light to the community. Good idea.I nominate Agoraphobic as well, always kind and willing to help.

Matt Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 > I vote that Agoraphobic gets a month suspension from his adminship due to never using his paid holiday breaks.I second this for that reason and so that we can nominate him for member of the month.

UnGod Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 > Ego contest. Good way to boost the community.its not a ego contest in the least. that makes zero sense.your ego is your own sense of self-importance. an ego contest would be everyone declaring why they're the best and users voting on the most convincing argument.If if was an ego contest id win hands down, but i think you'd probably be the runner up.i dont think you believe your own bull though. i think you're just trying to knock down something this forum is trying to do to help itself.this is a genuine effort to try to promote good behavior in the community. stop trying to create some kind of rivalry between eclipseorigins and indieRising because there is no competition. there is one forum about mirage based rpg engines, there is another forum about indie game development. apples and oranges man.go troll somewhere else this is just pathetic.

Dr.House Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Why is this ^ guy so mad?He is not trolling, he is kinda right, it does sound pretty "forced" to me.If people can't be nice to eachother and help eachother without any kind of reward then that's pretty bad and shows how fake people are, and this thread promotes that kind of mentality.A dog used to get his treat after every trick, will bite his master's hand sooner or later.

Wing Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Alright guys, let's keep everything on topic. If I've learned anything from reading YouTube comments, these kinds of passive/aggressive discussions never get anywhere.I think UnGod would be a good nomination (although he happens to be the master of passive/aggressiveness), because a lot of the information he has to offer can be very helpful and bring insight to other members.

Link Posted February 7, 2015 Author Share Posted February 7, 2015 How come everytime an attempt is made to boost the community there's always so much hate? From the same people. I think that's the only problem with egos…a few select members just discourage or try to discourage everyone else. I think that's the funny part, you guys try harder to discourage members than anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
