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P.S. Please do not quote this post.

I personally feel that the members should not be voting themselves, it beats the whole purpose...Someone may not want to cast a vote in their favor and may lose out on a vote so it wouldnt be fair !
Yes. I gree. I too think a member should not vote for himself or herself.
I agree but it's not prohibited.
That's the whole point ! it is like self promotion and not fair in a selection process, unless everyone voted for themselves...
Selection for what- All 10 members are going to get a badge. Next month 10 more will be there. And voting for own is not prohibited anywhere. Every one goes to cast a vote for self. You don't expect Soniya gandhi going to vote for her opponent in an election.
Well we know what politics is all about, self promotion ! Here the criteria is different and hopefully more fair ...I just said what I feel is fair !
I know what you mean! But if you have 3 choices use them all and how would one know who voted whom? I was only trying to explain my point, It does not necessarily mean i voted for myself.
The nominations should be in November 2013. But this is already December. Then how can nominations be made.Nomination for the contributions made in November. You can't nominate one without knowing what he has done already :)
Regarding self promotion, it is not bad either. Why anyone want to vote to another unless he gets his own. That is the reason for allowing voting on multiple members.

You are right about Chinmoy, Gulshanji and Kalyani but rest of us have all joined almost at the same time. Give or take a month or two.

True. In terms of contribution in putting this site on a Pedestal and the impact created on the late comers like me and many others made a difference.
Boddunan is always surprising me with new innovations and always on creativity and this is one such master class which will bear a badge, it is always nice to have it, it gives the super sense of values attached with us and that too from the fellow members, it is a super starter thanks admn. and editors.

An honor in any form will boost the performance of the members. And this in turn enables the member to stretch his or her capabilities beyond measure. Here its a WIN-WIN situation. Both the members and the Administrators are winners.

When I joined Gulshanji was there as were many whose presence I longer see. Here I have to mention Gulshanji's name for his consistency and seminal contribution. We have been later joined by a host of spirited members whose contributions speak for themselves and what is remarkable that they have achieved that in a very short span of time. If we, the seniors, have had a role, let it be so but the entire credit should go to them!! keep up your excellent work!!

When I joined Boddunan you perhaps were the most active member of this site, baring of course the lady from Kerala having lot of ink in her typewriter. I know, you were going great guns, firing on all cylinders but .... rest is history, we all know why!!! :unsure:

I have not been very consistent because of certain constraints like the mercurial lady you talked about but Gulshanji's consistency has been truly phenomenal. He has always been there!!

Sought after? :laugh: You certainly have your own ways when it comes to acquiring fame and popularity. Have you checked the flow of the ink of your computer lady?
