Someone will and they better be grateful for it.+1. after reading this thread I feel that it would be quite arbitrary to pick a winner (most quality posts? by whose standard?) , and the bias will certainly be towards those with more heavily modified cars, but hey. whatever it takes to keep the site quality.

TM850R Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 MY STANDARDS!/QUE echo sound effectsSounds like the mods will decide what is quality and what is not so great. We all know what quality posts look like and we should all have a great idea of what crappy posts look like. There may be a bit of bias in there but if the mods dont like you, its probably because you make bad posts. Thats just how I see it, maybe its not this way.

volvomachine Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 i dont mind having chuck decide on the standards for quality posts...i think after many years of running the site he has a good knowledge of what is useful and what is not necessary.this is a great idea chuck...run with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbobrick Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 (edited) in all honesty, the information on this site alone is a gold mine, i dont see why you should have to offer up incentives to make the members happy.how many people come here, then leave because they dont like what they see ? and really should their be any type of monetary incentive to have those kind of people stay ?i dont really see this idea as bringing in new members that wouldnt come to begin with, but then again; money is money and im not complaining if you're gonna give it away.instead of awarding money, why not make a post ranking system.. as a member contributes beneficial knowledge to the site a mod rates every post that said member records.eventually this will determine a user value rating that would show how much credibility this member may or may not have, that way others will be aware if the information has meaningful relevance or is just pure BS.

I am using it as a way to disperse extra money that is mad. You are here to support the site. Thats why you post, comment, and at times even argue. The banners are hear the fund the site. You have to deal with them and I am doing this as a way of saying its not un noticed. For years I have used the extra funds on the moderators. Its not much but there is a little left over each month and I was trying to show that your dealing with the banners and ads was not un-noticed.

I don't think the possibility of wining something would keep people around that don't want to be here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you've accomplished a hell of a lot to get this site at it's current position and you shouldn't feel obligated to give anybody anything. The reason people help out so much is exactly that: to help out others. They're not expecting to get anything in return (except maybe a little respect). I can't stop you from handing out free cash and I know other people want me to shut up about the topic. I'm not that helpful when it comes to repairs or modifications nor was I ever expecting anything from this site other then information and the occasional group buy. Volvospeed gives back to the community as a place where people can get connect with each other about topics that they have in common. No award plans are necessary as long as everybody is having a good time. Those that aren't having a good time should simply leave or adapt.
