I will send to the person who wins the Poetry contest the Poetry Contest Trophy, to be used as an Avatar. When we do the next Poetry contest, if the person has not yet stopped using the trophy as an avatar already, will relinquish it, and I will send the 3rd poetry contest winner the same Avatar. Do any Judges or participants have any objections?
Not necessarily material, its just a picture that can be used as a trophy, as apposed to people after winning a poetry contest going out to Google and just getting a random trophy, this trophy would have a little mystique.
What's to stop people from having the avatar themself, even if they didn't win?
Nothing. We can't make rules about that sort of thing, after all. And we're not going to go through the trouble of stopping people with a certain avatar.
But its a special trophy, not just any old random person can get it.
if you don't like the idea, thats fine, Who am I to argue with an Admin?
I just thought It would be a cool idea to have a special trophy avatar given to the winners.
Oh, you mean like take a screen shot then crop it? I see your point.
nevermind bout the idea then, thanks for considering it, you can delete this conversation if you want.
Am I missing the spam? here I don't know how this in voles the contest but You do get a lovely picture of a trophy if you win and for a added bonus you get a picture of a gift basket
lol... I could just find a picture of a trophy and a gift basket on the internet. I was suggesting a special trophy that I have for an avatar that was designated as the Poetry Contest Trophy, given to the winner to be used as an avatar until the next poetry contest. But Seth explained why it wouldn't work, so I'm not going to do it.
I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
