One of my fellow moderators, mysteriously disappeared. I think she's been gone for a month now. She was the one in charge with the forum contests. And when she disappeared, I was put in charge in the contests in place of her. We've been dealing with a lot of spammers lately. Since members really like to participate in the contests, I thought of using it to lessen the spam problem. And I came up with the "Extreme Member of the Month" contest a few days ago. I will be choosing one member each month that didn't do any kind of spam everyday for the whole month, has an average posts of 30/day, constantly helping other members, and constantly reporting to admins/mods. After a few minutes of posting this, I already received responses from the members. They liked the idea. I was getting a handful of great feedback from them. It felt so good that the members are willing to help make our forum a better place to earn a few bucks. What made me feel greater is when the owner of the site, answered the thread, telling me that he loved the idea and we have a great team. The admin liked my idea also. I'm proud of myself that I came up with this idea. Our forum will be more likely to be one of the best soon, since the members love us so much.

Any forum doesn't like spams so it is a good thing for the new contest to be implemented. nice mod sophie...
Oh sorry for my less activities in ESF.... been busy offline these past days...
Maybe you should add rating or thanks buttons so that you can track those that really helps out other members... Or should I post it in the suggestion section?

Thanks!
That's okay. I didn't even notice that you were gone for a while. Just kidding.
I think someone already posted something like that in the suggestions.
