    I had another idea!

    How about in the Billszone forums we have a poster of the month.

    Someone who has provided us with great info, or sparked good coversation. It could be like a zoner to watch kind of thing.

    We sticky a thread that says zoner of the month and post his/her threads inside? I might motivate people to stay fresh and be the best!
    I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
    "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
    You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
    It was all
    true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
    He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can
    mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

    Merge this with your zb idea. Zoner of the month gets a cash prize and a nifty placard under their avatar.

    I am sure DB will come up with a million reasons on why Playa thinks this is a terrible idea, but I like it.

    It gives incentive to be the best and most creative poster. Eliminates some of the junk.

    This is the true vision the zone has been lacking.

    To take it one step further there should be a worst poster of the month so people stay on their game just That much more.

    Re: I had another idea!

    not a bad idea, but there are some practical issues that need to be ironed out. Who would decide- a mod, a select group, an open poll? What would the criteria be- number of posts, quality of posts, rep, some combination? Would a user be able to be selected more than once? If so, would consecutive months be allowed or would there be some time limit before a person can be selected again?

    This could work well or it could be a disaster depending on how these details are handled.

    Re: I had another idea!

    Only issues Id have is what Op already said. Hopefully it would be handled differently then the current TZ Power Rankings system so we have parity. Also need a way to make sure that the same guys aren't winning month after month or the same time each year.
    COMING SOON...

    Re: I had another idea!

    LtFF used to give an excellent BillsZone poster a gift subscription of donor status for a month. The staff would make suggestions of worthy recipients and Lt would pick one.
    That was cool, but i like this idea better.

    i would want the regular posters in the BillsZone to decide who got the honor...they could make nominations and then vote in a poll to decide the winner.

    Quality of posts should be the determining factor.

    Once an individual won, he/she would not be eligible for the next three months to give others a chance to be honored.

    The worst poster of the month is not a good idea, in my opinion.

    Re: I had another idea!

    I don't like the "worst poster" idea either, but on the other hand, if it were held once per month, and the same person kept winning, maybe they'd get the hint that they suck and know nothing about the Bills...then they'd post less and read more.
    I didn't come here to fight, I hate fighting. Life is way too short to spend it on fighting! Go fight with yourself, one of you will eventually win!
