Swandog7It seems like nowadays MOTM doesn't even really matter anymore, theres barely like 100 votes compared to like 250-300 like a few years ago. No more sponsors or really any prizes besides stickers. MOTM is dying, it needs to be revamped somehow. Thoughts?
theabortionatorI guess if there's still anyone around anymore it's cool. But if it's just like "Pick somebody who's still here each month" it kind of seems pointless.
Idk. I don't care either way
Mr.BishopI mean it picks people who are actively posting and getting upvotes.
Any reason you haven't cared about it in he past when here was sweet prizing on the line?
theabortionatorI think i did care at the beginning. Idk if it was even the prizes. Just maybe there were more people posting. Idk. No real opinion on this
Mr.BishopRight. Ok so prizing is good, but that is no surprise.
Dont care anymore - check.
Anyone else?

Mr.BishopI mean realistically we probably need the system to be more transparent (so you know what you have to do to earn points) and then a good prize on top of it.

DeepskierHave the members elect the candidates. This would help a lot because every voting it is one person you see actively posting and four random jack asses. So sticky a thread in NSG and tally people votes for MOTM candidates then of the top 5 have them vote for MOTM. Something like that either way there's your good guide line and if iit doesn't work ya fucked it up.
DeepskierUse my idea for mods but not MOTM.... ok
theBearJewIf were gonna stick to the old way voting and whatnot, there needs to be a mobile way to vote that is similar to the browsers version. By that I mean a voting poll that is visible while browsing. Otherwise nobody is gonna go out of their way to vote.
I know personally I used to use my laptop to browse NS, now its mostly on mobile or tablet, thus no easy way to vote like in browser.
laura.obermeyerDefinitely agree with the need for some transparency, hard to get stoked about something if you don't really understand it
Dustin.Why not Member of the Year? MOTM fades into the darkness and I imagine it's a chore for Doug to be stoked on new prizes/selection every 3 weeks. MOTY would be a big deal and require more than a one month "It's-Lent-and-I-gave-up-porn-so-it's-NS-time" post whore binge.
Spitballing...
