Q: How can we acknowledge helpful members?
 

This is a question I've got from people over the years, so we've decided to add a new feature to the board.

Going forward, we're going to run a quarterly MVP feature, where the member picked as a MVP will get that title added to their profile. We're also going to try and dig up some cool prizes for the selected member.

How it works:
If you've been helped by a member who's gone above and beyond, or feel that anytime a question is asked a particular member is always there with a helpful answer, you can nominate that member as a candidate for MVP.
To nominate someone, send a PM to the Canreef Staff account, and we'll add it to a staff thread for the quarter. One week before the announcement, the staff will select the member with the most merit. This "most merit" selection will be based on the number of nominations OR something that particularly stands out as going above and beyond.

Who can qualify?:
There are no restrictions on who's eligible. The member doesn't need to have specific post counts, rep points or not be affiliated with a sponsor. It's open to anyone that gives that little extra!

I'm a sponsor, how can I get in on the prizes?:
If you're a sponsor on Canreef, and you'd like to donate something for the selected MVP, please contact either the Canreef Staff account, or your favorite staff member. You'll get a kudos for your store in the thread and everybody will think you're awesome too!!

When does this begin?:
Effective immediately, we'll be accepting nominations. The selections will be made to pick someone on the first of January, March, June and September.

How can I get more info?:
If you have any questions, feel free to ask right here. We'll do our best to answer as best we can this early in the feature :)

i think this is a great idea:)

+1 got a few in mind

Q: Can a nominee use roll over minutes?

A: No, each quarter will begin from scratch. If you've nominated someone and they didn't get selected that quarter, simply re-enter their name.

Just a reminder, please send nominations to the Canreef Staff account. Thanks.

Q: How can I get my nomination noticed?

A: When submitting a member's name, please detail what they've done. Give specifics, sell, sell, sell!!!
Sure, Joe's a good guy, but what has he done for you lately?? Tell us, in too many words, just why Joe should have a planet named after him!!

Sorry, where is the Canreef staff account ? :redface:

The Canreef Staff account is simply another member name, you can just send a PM to that member. For those that have already submitted, the notes have been forwarded, so you don't need to resend.

Or simply click on the account name here and send PM. Easy Peasy :biggrin:

Will there ever be an LVP? I'd like the satisfaction that comes with winning something too someday =)

Brett, you sell yourself short. Think of all the things you've done for the members. You even set up a new server so they could call me a gay troll living in my mother's basement. I might nominate you for that alone!! :razz:

Bwahahahaha... :lol:

sometimes I can't believe how funny I am. Sorry Brett, just razzing you. I do think you're one of the good guys here!

Oh snap! You went there?! We went through all that already... I don't care if you're gay I'm a very open-minded guy =)

Brett.. So you DID get that picture of Brad I sent you!

I'd prefer we did this behind his back so as to not hijack I hope you understand =)

:pop2:

Oh ya, I went there. Read it all, took names :razz:

Ok, Kien is eating popcorn, which means we're going off track. Back on topic :)

:twised::biggrin:

BTT: what about the first 1/4 of 2012?

sorry, planning took longer than expected, so no stars for the first quarter this year..

But let's get those nominations in for March!!!

Oh come on now, you could do it for 1/2 of the 1st 1/4 and call it an 1/8 :twised:

ROFL, I'd like to nominate this thread for thread of the year. Cracked me up!! :lol:

Maybe a PGG award? :)

Well, again, I'll say that if Mike has a problem, he should contact a staff member to discuss the details. Starting this in an unrelated thread is not appropriate.
Posts removed, Mike, if you have concerns, please raise them privately.

:noidea: what that stands for but it is probably a hilarious shot at me :razz:

Pretty Good Guy award :)

Well........foot in mouth........i like that one :biggrin:

can we nominate ourselves???


is the role of prsident already taken??


is this for canadian residents only cause im in siberia:p

no.
Yes.
No.

And no, you're in Atlantis now...

touche touche :p

nicer than greenland lol:p

I thought so :)

I like this idea better then the reputation thing but I think we also need a Biggest Goofy Joker award....... I would nominate Denny for sure hands down.

yeah right lol umm ok maybe sure just a bit :p


dont have me break out the zombie thread !!:twised::twised:

Don't put off nominating someone you think has gone above and beyond! We've got a few, but I can think of 10 others that deserve nominating!!

Elias@caco3reef.com has offered up a great prize for the selected member for March MVP. I'll post up the details shortly!

If somebody went out of their way to help you, help them get a gret prize and recognition for their deed!!

Just wondering do we get to see a list of who was nominated?

No. It's a secret ballot and a surprise for the selected member. Kind of an anonymous "Thanks" to show appreciation. Listing everyone would turn it into more of a popularity contest.
Each nomination will be judged on merit of what they did to be helpful. If staff were eligible, I'd nominate Christy for her help on sunday with my tank draining!

So far, I haven't seen you nominate anyone!! Nobody helpful in your reef world?? :razz:

I am in the black hole of Alberta with very few reefers but I have got some good help with info for a few good peeps.
