It's a part of the system that has been there since it was installed.

I dont remember that being an actual part of the introduction to this. Was it put out during the introduction of this contest? I thought the only specifications were post count and time spent on site? Maybe im wrong but im not sure.

It's a part of the system itself. Been there since day one.

It doesn't look like it has ever been utilized unfortunately.

Well, that's a double edged sword I don't plan on touching any time soon, if ever. While some people may feel they deserve extra points, there are those that would equally deserve to have points deducted. Also, this avoids claims of playing favorites to those that get any extra points and cries of foul play when we deduce points.

Here's an interesting question for the group:

If you could choose between manually assigning points to yourself as a special thanks, or assigning someone else negative points, which would you choose? (No names please.)

[Nexodusrex]

hey guys, I have a question about this system. I never really paid attention to it in the past, not really careing about it. But I digress

I was wondering exactly how this works? Do you pass a specific point ammount and enter a random drawing? or is it the top top guy, and if so, does that mean it resets every month? I dont get it.

I think there's a giant wheel with the twenty newest members on it,.. the site admin spins the wheel on the last day of each month to determine a winner.

That's kind of silly in my opinion. We should be able to assign points whether they are positive or negative to each member (not to yourself) and that should decide who the weekly winners are. Ive already said this in the past and I know how certain mods feel about this. It works for other forums that use it and really shows who the true contributers to a forum are besides post count. Not sure why it'd be a popularity contest as that had been pointed out before, if anything its better to be a popularity contest than a contest for who posts the most.

I may be a bit biased cuz I am a newbie or whatever but I dont think a user based popularity contest would be fair as it would not allow new people to win. I mean clearly people would vote for someone like you (who they have known for a long time) then someone like me whos new. I just think it should based on some sort of concrete fact based mod controlled system that everyone knows exactly what they will be graded and awarded for.

just vote D00MTR0N and all will be good \M/

I agree. This whole points system can be a good thing and bad. As long as the mods have control over it, there shouldn't be a real issue with it. It's just a matter of who has time to post every chance they get vs someone who casually checks the site out.
