I think that it would be nice to have some kind of way of thanking other members.. there used to be a 'staff praise' forum, and staff had a button on their profile which one could click on to thank them for something, which linked to a thread in that forum. Maybe we could have something similar for all members?
How come I never get any from you on the GT board?For over 3 years, that's what I thought the Reputation feature was for. I give 2-3 a day, and often receive about the same. .
Interesting locationI vote no. It's a nice thought, but as others have said, would probably end up as a popularity contest. I don't think a thank you forum is a bad idea, but I wouldn't frequent it because I already give people reps as a thank you.

It's hard to stay away from these kind of things turning into popularity contests.. This is probably a crazy idea, but I'll throw it out there.

No, on the surface it seems like a good idea, but I think at the end of the day, it would cause problems.
That is an interesting idea.Frankly, MS, I and a whole lot of other members don't look at all the little blingy things people have by their names, and never look at homepages either.
A thank you forum would attract the interested, and attract anyone who wanted to thank someone. It would be there all the time, so you wouldn't have to keep track of dates and deadlines for voting for somebody, and at any time you felt grateful to someone for a kindness or a favour or encouragement, you could express that gratitude. It would give individuals the opportunity to indicate what they were thanking the person for if they wanted to, as opposed to people voting for a monthly nominee because "s/he's so sweet!" or "s/he's the only Catholic/Baptist/Charismatic nominated" and so on.
My thoughts, anyway.
Thanks for taking just a segment of my words to use them for the purpose of making a statement exactly the opposite of what is obvious I am for in this situation if you happened to read any of my posts fully. Appreciate it.And this would be my primary reason for saying lets NOT have a MEMotM.
Frankly bombila, I don't think that is true, otherwise you wouldn't bother to have bling by your name. Wanting people to know your beliefs, that you married, your flag. I believe you know people see these and if they are interested in you they do pay attention to your "bling"Frankly, MS, I and a whole lot of other members don't look at all the little blingy things people have by their names, and never look at homepages either.
Yep that is what I said, they would go there when they wanted to thank one person. That can be done on a homepage and is not an acknowledgement from the community that it is better for him/her being herebombila said:A thank you forum would attract the interested, and attract anyone who wanted to thank someone.
It is clear that a member of the month is not desired. I appreciate your feedback as to why you do and don't wish that to be, so that we can understand your desires. As it is unlikely that one more day will make a change in this, I will make note that this idea is not overall a good one, and we shall move on from here..
In response to a couple comments on a forum for member praise, we do have that forum, but someone would need to advise the member of receiving praise: http://christianforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=576
The same forum is also available for staff, but again, someone would need to advise the staff member of receiving praise: http://christianforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=422
May everyone have a blessed weekend. On behalf of the advisors, thank you again for your thoughts and discussion.
In Him,
Kristen
