KHInsider Awards Official Discussion Thread

[Turn]

Thanks, Mr. Tony!

I can request an award, but it says I don't have the ability to recommend awards.

Also, the females' Hottest of the Hot award starts with, "Winner of the males division..."

/unimportant

 

[Oberon]

Is the award system purely based on nominations at this point? I don't see any "request" options, so I'm under the impression you can't request for yourself anymore?

also,

Keep in mind, the awards are for present and future contributions, as in, how you've been contributing to the forums since this system was put in place on May 30, 2010, not your past contributions.

So what you're trying to say is that before May 30th, any activity that could count towards receiving an award does not count?

Just clarifying in case I'm somehow misunderstanding. Thanks guis

That is most definitely what it means. C:

 

[Oberon]

it was probably a stupid question but for the longest time (before reading the rules a few days ago) I just figured it was based on total activity since you had joined.

now it makes sense lul

I've added a new award today! Check it out here! KHInsider Forums - Awards

Be sure to send in your recommendations and ignore the error it gives you. (It still goes through. ;p)

 

[Gildragon]

Thanks for that one Shammy .

Oh good, I was going to complain about the error. Sorry for the double suggestion.

Well, it's a system that's way better than rep, that's for sure. And i like to express my gratitude and amazement at being considered a master debater, i never expected that.

Kind of like... Xbox 360 achievements or PS3 Trophies. I like.

I've thought about implementing an awards system on our forum. Maybe it'll encourage our members to not break the rules so much, hopefully. Kids are such suckers for awards, even if they are absolutely worthless in the end. (Yes, our forum is full of kids, lol)

You don't offer misbehaving members a reward for not being bad, you give them a punishment for being bad. Infractions would keep them from breaking rules, not awards - they would be to then encourage exemplary behaviour or effort.

 

[Nyokou]

We do have punishments, but they break the rules anyway. Most of our members are under the age of 15, it's bound to happen. Even if I put all our rules in the initial registration process, they would most likely skip over it or something. I know I do. And it's not like the average 12 or 13 year old is going to look at the word 'RULES' in giant letters at the top of the page and be like "Oh, this looks interesting, let me take a look!"

They'd most likely click big letters that read 'AWARDS' though. Although, I'm grateful for the members that are at least smart enough to read our rules and follow them. ♥

 

[Shamdeo]

There are definitely individuals deserving of troll/bad/derp trophies. But I don't like rewarding that behavior. The only derp one is if you're actually funny in FI.

 

[shadywinters]

I know I'm probably late. But this is cool, you get cool crazy pics that show how far you have gotten on the forums. Having a number is really special.

 

[Mirby]

I've been to forums with awards before. The only one I got was the "Desperate for a Proper Award" award. :3

 

[Turn]

i'm pretty sure i deserve all of them

 

[DMrayZ]

Umm, I need a little help? I tried to nominate someone for an award, but everytime I send the request it says "There's some error when sending your award request. Please contact site's administrator for assistant." Obviously if I have to contact the admin I will, but I don't actually know How to contact the admin, is it just using the "contact us" link at the bottom of the page, or is there another way?

PM the admins. I think the Contact Us link is rather outdated.

 

[DMrayZ]

How would I do that, just enter any admins name in the recipient box? Sorry, I feel like a noob, I've just never had to contact them before.
