__________________________________________________ __________

I wonder whether it's an idea to have an "awards system", that shows some kind of image/rosette/trophy or similar in a persons' profile - to recognise winners of competitions (that have been approved/vetted by mods/admin).

I see members with their Arcade trophies and mentions of how many high scores they hold, so I'm guessing it must be possible. Not sure how it might work though. What do you think?

You know, I had an idea a couple of years ago to have a 'forum oscars' or something :P

Members would be able to vote in different categories like 'funniest member' 'most helpful member' that kind of thing, and then they'd get a new custom rank for the year.

I ditched it cause it was a bad time, and also because it may cause a little bad feeling if people felt others were voting only because their mate was a nominee instead of actually believing that he/she was the most helpful or suchlike.

Yes I understand that reservation. The same could be said for the current reputation system - people could thank their mates etc, all those sorts of things I guess are open to abuse of some kind....having said that, I haven't seen much evidence of abusing that system on this forum....

This suggestion is similar to the arcade winnings, like I mentioned. Idk, really, but you could have, for example, different colour trophys/medals or different number of trophys/medals that signified the 'weight' of a competition win, (which would be determined by the admin/mod team), and it showed up in the person's post profile.

I was thinking, there are all kinds of competitions - and it seems that people on here do like a good competition! - and all sorts of occasions that provide opportunities for them, and the threads fade away after a while, so it would be nice to remember later on.

I think you're onto a good idea here Saff. Could this extend to other competitions such as drawing competitions, your Treasure Hunt and other user competitions?

Normally an award at isketchforum means a custom title other than royal or mega or junkie or whatnot. But that's up to admins to set up. I was the last to get a custom title, and that was over a year ago.

Yes, at the moment it is. I was wondering whether the admins would consider adding something else, like this.

LOL, nah. These would be for the winners/entrants of competitions. I already got heaps of rep points etc from running the Treasure Hunt, so that's sweet.

I like that.

Unfortunately, my mini-admin powers will not let me implement such things. But looks cool.

Maybe we could add the previous competition winners like stormy in the Easter drawing competition and JenJen in the Hallowe'en competition?

I like the idea of an awards system. I think it will encourage participation in forum comps and be nice to recognize people who've won in official forum competitions.

If a custom title is given out as an award, then anyone who wins more than one competition won't be recognised for their multiple achievements (and it might not even be clear which competition they won to get the custom title prize), so I like the idea of having a unique icon for each competition, and adding that icon to the profile page or the summary statistics on the right side of each post.
