Boost Participation with Eugenes Karma Points Proposal

Question:

Hello Eugene, I wanted to remind you about the proposal you made regarding karma points on the maintenance forums. Your deadline is quickly approaching. Regardless of the prize, such as a free seat at the IMC or a reliability hat, the most important aspect is that your recognition scheme can increase participation and encourage more active involvement. I believe that this initiative will benefit our community greatly. Best regards, Rolly Angeles, Educator.

In summary, my proposal is to launch a "Quality Contributor of the Year" contest where forum members can nominate and vote for the best contributors to the boards over the past year. The contest will consist of two rounds: 1. Members can nominate authors of posts from March 2006 to February 2007, providing reasons for their nominations. 2. In March 2007, Terry and his team will select the top 10 (or 5) candidates for a final vote. Members will have the opportunity to vote for the winner from this list in a Poll post. Each member can only vote once. The voting period will end on April 02, 2007, with the winner announced on April 03, 2007. If you're interested, we can adjust the dates to allow more time for nominations. Suggestions include considering posts from April 2006 to March 2007, accepting nominations until April 15, 2007, and announcing the winners by April 30, 2007. Additionally, I propose that members can also nominate a group of contributors. For example, if MemberA posts a question and Members B, C, D, E, and F provide answers, but B and D stand out with exceptional ideas or solutions, any member can nominate them for recognition. It would be helpful to include a link to the thread for reference when making a nomination. Let's celebrate and acknowledge the valuable contributions of our forum members!

Why prioritize one individual's contributions over another when each participant brings their own unique and valuable insights to the table? Just something to consider.

In a similar vein, there are numerous influential figures such as scientists, doctors, economists, writers, and world leaders who are constantly making impactful contributions to society on a global scale. Instead of singling out just six individuals (or teams) each year for prestigious awards like the Nobel Prize in Physics, Chemistry, Medicine, Economics, Literature, or Peace, why not celebrate all quality contributions without the need for awards such as the Nobel, Oscar, Emmy, Grammy, OTI, and others.

During a recent discussion about Karma Levels and Titles, the topic of recognizing the importance of quality contributions arose. Should we prioritize quality over quantity when it comes to acknowledging and rewarding valuable contributions? There are various ways to show appreciation for valuable input.

On eng-tips, users have the option to award a star to posts they find particularly helpful by simply clicking on the little purple star button. The star appears on the post, indicating that it has received recognition, although the identity of the voter remains anonymous. Posts that receive numerous stars are typically deemed valuable by a wide range of users. Each user's profile displays the number of posts they have made in each forum, the number of stars they have received, and the number of stars they have given to others. While this feature has its advantages and disadvantages, maintenanceforums.com offers a similar feature where users can rate entire threads with stars, with a maximum rating of 5. Is it possible for one user to max out the rating by awarding 5 stars?

Hey Rolly, thanks for reminding me! I'm on it and you're absolutely right. The prizes are a fun incentive, but it's really about boosting participation and making our forum a more active and supportive place. I believe the karma points system will foster a sense of community and friendly competition. Expect to see the finalized proposal soon! - Eugene

Hi Rolly, I completely agree! Introducing karma points could really motivate people to engage more with the forums. Recognition can make a huge difference in community spirit, and I can already envision the discussions becoming more vibrant and collaborative. Iā€™m looking forward to seeing how Eugene's proposal unfolds and hopefully brings more participants into the fold!

Hey Rolly, I completely agree! Recognizing contributions through a system like karma points could really spark more interaction and foster a sense of community. Plus, the added incentives like a free seat at the IMC could attract more members to share their knowledge and experiences. I'm excited to see how this proposal develops!
