AFboard - View Single Post - AFBoards Featured "Member Of The Month" Plan & Rules

MR. BMJ · 02-11-2008, 07:53 AM

Dear AF members,

We will have a new monthly addition to the board that we think is an awesome idea towards rewarding those who bring quality information and help to the board. This addition is to have an "AF Featured Member" chosen by the members of the board as somebody who they feel has been valuable to the board over the course of each month. At the beginning of each month, we will have an open thread where names will be nominated for the opportunity to be chosen as the featured member. The last 2 weeks of each month, we will take those names and place them into a poll for voting. The winner becomes the AF Featured Member for that next month.

Here are the rules:

1. A nominee must be a participating member with at least 100 posts to their name.

2. No Mods or Administrators are up for nomination.

3. Only members vote, and not the admin or mods.

4. Please only state one person for your nominee vote. If possible give a reason why you chose this person. If more than 1 person is nominated by a member, we will only take the first name listed.

5. Prior WINNERS, are not eligible for re-nomination.

6. NO self-promotion or soliciting members for support. NO voting for yourself under any alias names either. IF YOU ARE CAUGHT YOU WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY DISQUALIFIED.

7. No voting for yourself under any screen name. IF YOU ARE CAUGHT YOU WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY DISQUALIFIED.

8. Upon winning, each member must write a short bio of themselves, along with answering a few basic questions that will allow the members to know their winner a little better. Nothing personal, just basic questions. Pictures are optional, but encouraged. The winner has the option in answering these questions however they feel appropriate in order to protect their identity. Examples of the questions are below.

Each monthly winner will receive:

1. $50 free merchandise from the AF Store

2. An AF T-shirt

3. A "MOTM" (Member of the Month) title for that month they win.

4. An additional 10,000 rep points next to their name.

5. Bio of themselves up for display with all montly winners.

IMPORTANT: If you are chosen for the final 2 weeks of voting, please note that we can take you off the poll if you do not want to be a contestant/nominee.

The winners will have their information in a locked sticky thread for everybody to read. Each monthly winner will be added to that sticky.

In the event of a tie, we will then have a 24 to 48-hr run-off at the end of the month to try and establish a clear winner.

Please help us make this a successful, positive addition to the board. Additionally, don't forget that there is more than one forum with awesome advice given from it's members. And please remember, this is the member's opportunity to give praise to those who help make this discussion board the best on the internet!!! Absolutely NO negativity will be allowed on this plan!!!

Thanks!
AF Staff

An example of a bio would include any of the following that you feel is appropriate to add on your behalf:

-Profession and education background
-Training history
-Competition accomplishments or experience
-Discussion board history
-How you found AF
-Family info (if you have kids, married?)
-Other

Here are the examples of the questions you will answer in addition to whatever you choose to add in your opening bio:

1. What type of training schedule has worked best for you over the years?

2. What type of diet plan have you found works best for you?

3. What type of supplementation do you follow or use?

4. What are your personal lifting records or accomplishments that you are proud of?

5. What are your personal short and long-term goals at this time?

6. Who do you idolize and look up to in the bodybuilding, powerlifting, or weight training community, past or present?

7. What tips can you share with other people that you have found effective and that they might benefit from?

8. Any closing comments?
