Changing Things Up a Bit...

[General Veers]

The following PM was from Matt, formerly known as Artik, as a response to recent events:

I want to make this forum a FUN place to be, not somewhere where the only exciting thing is who and when and how and why someone is going to be banned!

Now, I am talking about the creation of "events". There would be daily events, with different themes, and the people who complete these events would be rewarded. I'm probably thinking about this because my obsession with a gaming company (ValvE), but it really does work. They put achievements in their games too, rewarding the players with weapons (not the rewarding I have in mind for the events here though xD).

The reward should consist of money, hats (copied from many games), and bragging rights ;D. Hats would be created by me and anyone else who wants to help, and then given to the player who completed the event. So may a staff member make a group that can ONLY announce things, and then assign me to that group. Maybe even an events board? ^^

Artik might be onto something...

Originally, when I was experiencing with a Informe Portal (the type of program used with the other address to the Dan-Ball forums that was made with a portal) it had a number of rewards and achievements you could give to members for completing certain objective assigned to them. Although, isn't this why we have badges in the first place?

And as for his suggestion on daily events...I'm not sure what we can really host as everyday events on this forum, other than something such as 'Advertising Day' or even 'Create an Upload Day'. Mind you those were rather corny examples...

[V.I.R.O.S.]

Er. Hats? Don't we have badges for that kind of stuff? I mean, there is no point making "hats" if you can't wear them. :/

[Qwerty]

We already have badges, and contests to win them. Events are a different story, but we can't really reward people for them. Perhaps a "Attended such-and-such event" badge set?
