Hi All,
I would like to take this opportunity to announce another exciting program to recognize the most valuable members of boddunan - The Boddunan Most Valuable Member award. Here are the details.
1. Every month we will start a new poll with the title "The Boddunan Most Valuable Member Award - Month"
2. We will select a few people initially, but may not be the final list. The list is a starting point but nothing more.
3. All members have an option to add their choice, need not be themselves. they can nominate anyone they wish, however they can vote/nominate only once.
4. A final list will be selected based on user contributions in last month, votes and also other factors including all activity.
5. Top 5 members avatar along with other information will be published on home page next month.
6. Each selected winner will be given a new badge which will be shown on their profile pages forever.
So here is the schedule:
Nominations: November 2013
Voting: December 2013
Results and Awards: January 2014.
Criteria:
1. We select members based on their contributions across the site
2. Preference will be given to the contributors in Answers, Articles, Forum in no particular order.
3. We will consider the user votes as well provided we find there is no misuse of the feature, users can comment on voting page about why they nominate a member
4. Admin decision is final
5. The award is to recognize the people who are making this site live always.
Please do let me know if you have any queries.
All the best.
P.S. Please do not quote this post.

Actually, I am new in this site.. I am really impressed to seeing your activities and also getting a lot of help from your replies.....
So, again a lot of thanks on behalf of me......!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You need not thank me again and again. Not only me, every member will help you and our respected Moderators. Most of your doubts would have been answered had you seen and studied the FAQ. Please do it immediately.
Thank you all for your valuable feedback. Let me put my thoughts on what is the goal.
- this program is no way meant to identify the most valuable members overall, otherwise it would be a one time task and not a monthly. the program is only to recognize the people for a corresponding month. I agree about the title. it will be changed due course.
- I disagree with the comments about not recognizing the overall top contributors, read most valuable members. Seniors here knows more than anyone else.
- the final decision will not be taken based only on the votes as I clearly mentioned in my first post.
[quote]Earlier too many such attempts under various avatars like 'member of the month' , 'forum activator' and all that were tried and withdrawn without assigning any reasons.
I am sorry but that was never been the case,

- Involving the editors/moderators as deciding panel will automatically makes them ineligible them to participate in the contest which is the reason for not considering this point.
I believe I answered most of the questions if not all. Let me know.
This programme is really worth appreciating. This not only recognizes members' overall peformance but also involves all members by giving them voting rights. Even less inactive member will go through the site and exercise vote. Voting is only an element in overall exercise. I respect Chinmoy but I must say that it is more necessary to encourage current performance rather than honour the past activities. We live in present and so this is most significant.
No I don't think its worth to evaluate a user's performance I don't think voting is appropriate method to do so there should be something else as this way it may happen that people may vote whom they like irrespective of if the member is active or not. :blink:
I agree that people may vote one whom they like. Popularity is also a merit that needs be recognized. Voting is just one of many other factors. Voting alone will not be decisive.[/quote]
Exactly voting alone cannot decide a valuable member something else like number of points collected in a month plus cash credit may also be considered while deciding it. :blink:

Everything that reflects your performance will be taken in to consideration from the presence of the member in the site to the performance index in all the features of the site. In this process, voting is just one way to measure the performance of the member.
