Reward The Fantastic Board Members!!

[Barry]

I have a suggestion fo the guys at Actinic;

As there are some really amazingly helpful people on this board who not only help people like me out ALL the time for no reward adding greatly to the usability and smooth running of our sites, why not reward them?

They do a great service for you Actinic guys, without them things would be a lot harder. With them we get 24 hour support as well

so, i suggest a reward system based on how many posts people make, so that the most helpful people are rewarded for their efforts and the value that they add indirecly to your company

how about;

500 posts - get a free years hosting
1000 posts - get a free copy of something
5000 posts - get several free copies of something

and so on, create an incentive to help even more!

that way you (actinic people) will increase the amount of help dished out and take a load off your support people and add more value to your product

Heres 3 very large cheers to all the good folk on this board who have helped me out many times over the years

HIP HIP - HOOOORAY
HIP HIP - HOOOORAY
HIP HIP - HOOOORAY

Bless you all

come on actinic, give these people a reward they deserve!!

Happy Christams to you all

If it was based on just number of posts you could get over-run with pointless chatter (more than normal), although I agree the some sort of reward is deserved, perhaps based on how many times they have been "Thanked" in some way.

I think rewards in the form of discounts on Upgrades or Actinic Cover has been mentioned before in connection with Beta Testers.

This would be a good idea I think - kind of like a vote up/vote down for logged in members only. There is (perhaps was) a plugin that did this for vBulletin, thus when we see another member of the community helping out, giving the correct answer/wrong answer..then other members of the community could effectively rate them.

A select few members here would end up owning Actinic if that were the case as Actinic would run out of things to give them for their awesome work

Sadly i've been in the minority for a while with my views over banter. Whilst i enjoy the odd post that makes me smile, i don't like the fact than some useful threads get trashed due to inane postings.

But hay hum, my own solution to this has been to be less involved here and to increase my list of ignored members.
