Member of the Month?

[ZubenElGenubi]

Quote, originally posted by joatmon »So I figure it's time for MotM version 2.0. If the Member of the Month is to continue, you all will have to determine what the new MotM process will be, who will run it, what the rules are, etc. There's only maybe a dozen or so of you that consistently participate, you should be able to work something out. I've disabled the old MotM ballot form, but I can modify and/or rehost it if the new MotM judges ask.As of this post, the MotM process is now completely undefined. An empty rulebook. Good luck with it, IM me if I can be of any assistance. First of all, Thank You for running the MotM for the past year. You're own expectations may have been set too high, but I believe the process to have been successful. Secondly, regarding expectations, it would be unfair to compare participation and results of the MotM to the VotM. They are two entirely different types of recognition, both in subject and in organization. The MotM, by it's very nature, puts the emphasis on the nominator rather than the nominee. Persons nominated for MotM have reason to be honored and humbled, for they reached that status because a fellow member took a little more time to make it so. Personally, I am still very proud of my selection as an Member of the Month and feel a little more responsibility to being a good citizen of GenVibe as a result. Lastly, no matter who succeeds joatmon as organizer for MotM 2.0, I hope we all agree to continue with the current process of anonymous nominations and random selection, rather than using a poll. We have been through lengthy discussion and polls of our own on this subject and I feel we're on the right track.

i don't have time now, but will respond later....Just want to express my gratitude and support for Joatman. I suppose now I can actually VOTE for you and it will count! Honestly, I feel you have been extremely overlooked and should be given public recognition for all your hard work you do on this site. You are still one of the main reasons I come back, even during the times, I needed to take a break from it all, you were always someone that helped me through the process and convinced me to ignore others and just enjoy the great majority of people here on this site. I understand, everyone needs to take a break so they can refocus to what is important. Again, I applaude you and commend you for all your hard work here on genvibe, making it a great site! You, Arcsvibe, Nick, Wes, and so many others have been a cornerstone to keep this place running smoothly and for the most part, friendly.

[ZubenElGenubi]

I can understand why joatmon was so frustrated now. It's been two weeks since our last post on this topic and nothing has been proposed or acted on. This may be because it's too democratic in here; that is, there is no one directing the discussion and keeping it current.At the very least, there should be some discussion as to whether you all feel the MotM should be continued, regardless of procedure. If you think a poll is appropriate, I'll set one up.My vote is that the MotM should continue.

[zionzr2]

I am placing no blame and taking no sides on whatever toes were stepped on in this thread. And hope I dont step step on any toes myself. I would like to help the MOTM process anyway I can. I'll even take over if thats what it takes. I know I may not have had much input or response to the process in the past, but would like to have this process continue in a upgraded form. I want to thank Joatman for all the hard work that was put into it till now. I think it is important to recogonize the people who make Genvibe what it is. In Truth there are countless people who do just that everyday. I also believe that there are parts to the process that should reamain the same as it was set up. A nomination process and then a random selection from the nominations and you can win once only in a 12 month period.So if You want me to help or if you want me to take over I'll let you let me know. I just want to continue to have a happy place to share Vibe related information and help contribute to the health and upkeep of our site.

[joatmon]

OK, I wasn't sure if anyone would take much interest in a MotM 2.0 or not, and/or if there would be a discussion about how to continue the MotM process. I guess there wasn't much interest, and that's ok, but now I find it hard to sit idly by and watch while ArcsVibe becomes the default permanent Member of the Month, as much as he may deserve it, too much glory might go to his head, so for his sake, someone needs to step up and do something.So I have decided to restart MotM 1.0. I have realistic and low expectations about participation this time, so I won't be disappointed. First, two disclaimers:A. I may or may not post periodic updates thoughout the month to announce the current list of nominees, depends on how I feel, time demands, phase of the moon, etc. It will be up to whoever feels like it to advertise the MotM process, bring up proposals for rule changes, harass people for not posting in the winner threads, nag about lack of participation, drum up enthusiasm, etc., but if you think that kind of stuff is needed, then don't sit around waiting for me to do it because you'll be waiting a long time. I don't expect the actual mechanics of receiving the votes and doing the once a month winner selection and announcement thread to be a strain on my time that I can not deal with, so I decided to re-establish it. But it's up to other than me to be MotM cheerleader.B. I am just a member, not a moderator, not an admin, and I alone am responsible for content I post, and this contest is being run with only the implied consent of the site, but it is not an official thing run by genvibe management or by the wonderful company BVerticals that provides us the site in the first place. If I screw up, don't hold them accountable, and don't assume I have any more right, authority, or privilege on this site than anybody else.So, here are the existing contest rules, followed by some rule amendments/clarifications, and then the current contest status:Quote, originally posted by "GenVibe MotM Rulebook" »1. You can't change these rules2. The winner will be selected at random from those that have been nominated. If I don't like you, that will have no affect on your odds of winning. It's not about me.3. Vote early, vote often, but it won't help your candidate. Each person who gets voted for will have one entry in the random winner selection, so in the drawing, a member who has one vote gets one chance, a member who got 42 votes gets one chance. So there's no reason to vote for yourself a hundred times, that would just be sad.4. The purpose of MOTM is say "good job" to someone on the forum, and it is not a popularity contest, and it may or may not have anything to do with their car. It doesn't matter. It is about the person, perhaps someone helpful, or resourceful, or friendly, or steadfast, or whatever reason you want. The only criteria is that you have some reason to vote for a person. Whatever reason that may be, it doesn't matter. This is almost a non-rule.5. Anyone protesting the selection of the winner will be permanently prohibited from ever getting a chance to win, and will be publicly spurned in the forum. Mercilessly. Until the mods make me stop.6. There are no prizes, no cash awards, no material benefit to winning. This contest is not available where proibited by law. 7. The vote form has a spot for the members name, and a spot for why you think that person should be MOTM. If I can not trace back the name of the person you are voting for to a real genvibe username, then it gets thrown away If you don't bother to explain why you think that member should be MOTM, it gets thrown away. Really, what's the point of going to the trouble to fill out the form if you're not going to include a readable name and reason? If there is a specific post or thread that makes you appreciate a particular member, refer to it , include the link in the reason.8. Winner will be selected at random using a super secret random technique involving a high degree of randomness, which is both secret and random, and is a technique.9. The winner will be announced along with the text of the various reasons given in the ballots, or at least as much as can be reposted here and still stay within the forum content rules. 10. If you want the winner to know that you provided a specific vote/reason, then put your username in the reason, otherwise votes are anonymous.11. Genvibe members who have been banned, and genvibe members involved in the winner selection are prohibited from winning. This means me, and the bad guys. So don't bother voting for any of us. If too many people people vote for prohibited members, then I'll have to put in some sort of trap to filter those out, so spare me the trouble.12. Votes reset on the first of the month, arbitrarily at 00:00 EST/EDT13. Really, there are a lot of helpful members here, so for now I am thinking that the winning member is disqualified from winning again. ever. Might change that depending on the number of votes and the quality of all of you posting on the forum, but that's the starting rule. If a previous winner continues to get new votes after winning, I may, at my discretion, edit their victory announcement to append the new praise.14. Once the winner is announced I may, if I choose, forward non-winning nomination entries to the person who was nominated. I mean, after all, the whole purpose is to give a to someone on the forums, so if someone gets lots of praise, they ought to know about it even if they didn't win in the super secret random selection process. 15. Frivolous and/or hostile submissions will be thrown away at my discretionAmendments to these rules are as follows:Rule 1 says you can't change these rules. In order to allow the rules to be changed, I sugggest that there must first be a discussion of the proposed rule change and then a poll thread be run to get the members to vote on the proposed change. To keep from constantly changing rules, I suggest that the poll must run for at least one month, and receive a total of at least 50 votes, whichever is longer.(or does requiring 50 votes mean that the rules will never be changed? ) If the proposed rule change wins, then the new rule will go into effect for the following month. (for example, say the thread gets it's 50 votes after runing a month on November 20, the rule will affect the December MotM process). seem reasonable? let me know. Please discuss the rules and propose changes as you see fit, any criticism of the rules or the process will be interpreted as sincere interest in improving the process. Thanks in advance.Rule 8 (and 14) discuss the super secret random winner selection process. I think I already described this random process earlier in the thread, so I guess I can't call it super secret anymore Rule 12 says the votes reset at the beginning of the month. As discussed earlier in this thread, votes are now good for a three month period. For example, suppose a member is nominated today (it's October) so the nominee is entered into the November MotM contest. If the nominee does not win, that nominee will automatically be entered into the competition for the December and January MotM contest as well. Rule 14 says that I may forward non-winning nominations to the nominee. In the past I did this at the end of the month. From now on I plan to forward the nominations, if any, to the nominee as they come in throughout the month. Current Status:Picking up where I left off, the non-winning nominees from August were NascarXprt, northvibe, and zionzr2 (NascarXprt also the only one in July) so all three of these are automatically re-entered into the November 2006 MotM contest, and if they don't win, then also in the December contest, and will be joined by any additional members nominated from here on out.The MotM Ballot form is now back on line. Nominations should be submitted using the web form at http://s93486299.onlinehome.us/cgi-bin/motm.plAnd remember, the Member of the Month contest is supposed to be a way to thank people for their contributions to the site. GenVibe is a great site, but only because of the great people that post here.

i still believe that mr joatman deserves some sort of recognition for all his great hard work on this site as well as keeping the MOTM alive. so even though i cannot nominate you per your rules, at least i can publicly thank you and recognize you as a great addition to these boards!

[CAN-AWD-VIBE]

i was just looking over the rules to see why he has not been a previous winner... seems like the perfect candidate.Thanks for what you do and what you bring to this site, Joatman.

Note:It seems like the webhost for my MotM form has changed something, hittting submit on the form used to cause an email to be sent to me. At some point in the last few days, this is no longer working, I get an error message. I looked in the server logs, and the only MotM ballots that I have not received are the ones I sent to specifically test the form/email function, so repeat, all valid MotM ballots submitted so far have been received and will be counted.However, that means that new ones submitted wouldn't be delivered, so until I can figure out what's going on, I have temporarily disabled voting via the form. (Better to not be able to submit using the form than to submit and have it get thrown away) I should have something back up in a day or so, but in the meantime, the form is off line

[Baltovibe]

This is the message that is seen when someone clicks on the MOTM link now: http://s93486299.onlinehome.us/cgi-bin/motm.pl"genvibe Member of the Month (MOTM) ballotSorry, but the initial method of voting for genvibers to be Member of the Month is currently disabled.So few people participated that either the current ballot process is flawed or perhaps people just suck and don't care.Either way, the current method has flaws and is currently disabled. Please watch the forum for discussion on a new process."Was this message intended, or was it a carryover from last summer?

[joatmon]

weird.That was what it was a while ago, August maybe, and for some reason hitting the link went to a variant called motm3.pl. I just deleted them instead of renaming them, now its a 404. Thanks for the heads up. Might be time to scrap that free web provider, it's getting squirrely.if anyone needs to nominate someone, IM me or email at 2 posts up.

winner calculations from timer is easy with fives, timer ended in a 1, 0 AKLGT1 ColonelPanic2 jimincalif3 johostle4 millsterThis month there three new nominations, two for millster, one for ColonelPanic. Carry overs from December and January nominations also put AKLGT, jimincalif, and johostle in the running for this month's contest. Since AKLGT and johostle were last nominated in December, they no longer carry over (unless renominated), but jimincalif and millster do carry over and are automatically entered into the running for the April MotM. All of these nominees deserve to win, so to all who were nominated but didn't win this time thanks for all you do to make this a great place edits:on 3/5/07, 11;42 am est, AKLGT was renominatedAKLGTjimincalifmillster

This month there were four nominees0-drunkenmaxx1-jimincalif2-millster3-scherry2TIme was 25 hours, 32 minutes, 19.52 seconds, but with four nominees, the math was easy, only the .52 seconds really mattered 52/4 = 13 exactly, remainder 0, so drunkenmaxx is May 07 MotMhttp://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=28202interesting, this makes three in a row, MotMs who no longer own a Vibe. I guess that backs up the premise that MotM is about the person, not the car, There has not been a single valid nomination that I didn't think "excellent, that person deserves to be MotM". But there can be only one (each month )This month drunkenmaxx (aka drunkenvibe) becomes the eighteenth GenVibe Member of the Month. In case you missed any of the previous Members of the Month, they are:drunkenmaxx - May 2007AKLGT - April 2007ColonelPanic - March 2007damronjr - February 2007Sputnik - January 2007northvibe - December 2006NascarXprt - November 2006 - October 2006ArcsVibe - September 2006ragingfish - August 2006BlueCrush - July 2006GMJAP - June 2006Kari - May 2006ZubenElGenubi - April 2006POLO - March 2006MIVibe-ToolGuy - February 2006NSimkins - January 2006tnpartsguy - December 2005jahntassa - November 2005

[joatmon]

Janurary MotM is Petrucci914 -> http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=31501Back on page three, I described the random winner selection process, it involved using a timex's stop watch function to randomly count time, accurate to hundreths of a second. Then there was math to use that time to pick the winner, based on an alphabetical listing of the nominees. Well, that watch died, part of the reason I was late in picking this month's winner. I found another similar way, wrote a quick perl script that returns current elapsed time in microseconds since midnight, 1/1/1970. However on this computer, the last two digits were always either 00, 25, 50 or 75. so I throw those two digits away, and use the rest the same way I did for the watch timer method. When I ran the script to pick this month's winner, it gave me an answer of 1199624694281250 microseconds. Throw away the last two digits and that leaves 11996246942812 That is in tenths of millseconds, 100 times shorter than the previous timex method. With two nominees, 0-Petrucci914, and 1-zionzr2, made the math easy, only had to determine if the number was even or odd. Was even, , so that made Petrucci914 this month's MotM, and zionzr2 carries over for February's MotM contest
