So last week the admin team decided to go ahead with adding the awards code suggested to our fine forums. Finally, after a full week, I added the code in. Huzzah!
In doing so, we realized there are lots of things that go into implementing this system.
1. We need to make up awards.
2. We need to create award images.
3. We need to figure out how people earn awards and stuff.
So, for #1, we need everyone to pitch in more ideas for broad awards. Also, if you want to run some contest or if you have ideas specific to a project, post them here. We made up a bunch of awards to start us off. Here they are:
Right. So the temporary solution for #2 was to use a boring picture of a trophy for every award. The permanent solution is this thread:
pogotribe.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=gfxsection&thread=5250
And then we've got #3. For the time being, the admins are the only ones who can give awards. Open for discussion are other ways of doing this. We could create a special award-giving task force with certain permissions. Or maybe something else.
To claim an award, send a message to "awards". If there is something we need to check to make sure you are eligible for the award please include a link.
Let the fun begin!
EDIT: Hey. Guys. The SPOTM Awards awards are given to those who won them in the last SPOTM awards... that's it. SPOTM Awards are their own special categories. When they come around again next year, more awards will be added with 2011.
