Default Monthly Kudos Changes

Hey all,

Due to a lack of votes, both Ship of the Month and Non-Rom Relationship of the Month have been removed. For the time being, we're keeping Character and Roleplay of the Month, but this is subject to change depending on how their activity fares.

If Monthly Kudos gets more traction, we might consider reintroducing the removed threads as 'Pair of the Month' - a combination that can be either romantic or not. If this happens, the award users received will be based off whether their pairing would be romantic or non-romantic.

If Monthly Kudos falls into further inactivity, there's a good chance it will be removed from the site entirely. There's no reason to keep it around if users aren't interested in it.

I'd suggest looking at the COTM / RPOTM threads within this category. MK is basically a chance to have a character or roleplay be recognized for excellence. Your content needs to be nominated by a user to have a chance to win, though.

It was going inactive before that. The changes briefly boosted the activity but it fell back down.

I use to vote, but then the rules became unfair so I stopped... that may be the reason why many have stopped voting as well.

The new rule that the winner is randomly selected seems very unfair, whereas before it was if the character/roleplay/couple/ect. were believes to actually be the winner OTM they would win. It just seems very unfair that someone could get five votes against one of another's, but the latter may win because they are randomly selected :/

It's no longer a vote that all the members can get involved with since they may wish to vote for someone who was already selected, so now they can't vote - since it's OTM, people shouldn't be reduced to voting for their second favorite or further down the list, but rather who was their favorite of that month. People may feel like there's no use to voting because of this, which I know I do....

I understand this may have been an attempt to make it more fair, but if so, it had failed in doing so. If you changed the rules back - or possible set up a poll on the matter - the activity may change back to how it use to be?

the old monthly kudos rules were actually a lot more unfair. every time, the winning otm was created by a popular person and voted for because hey had a lot of friends, or a high rank who got attention simply for their position.

it was impossible to apply a less well-known otm because no one would vote for them, even if they did deserve it. randomizing the results allows anything to be nominated, regardless of how well-known it is. the voting was a flawed system and basically a popularity contest.

it simply makes no sense to have a voting system. otms would return to only winning because they were popular characters or rped by a popular user.

I can say from personal experience that that is actually untrue, I had won and I barely knew anyone on the site. They voted not because I was popular or anything like that, but because they genuinely believed I should win. And that's how I use to vote as well. When I won I was nearly a new member and I was so happy to have won - though now there is no point in voting since not everybody can vote for who they think should win :/

On top of what Hexict said, the only reason high ranks were picked because they were good characters - the reason they were chosen for both things.

I hadd an ok HR Wheatfur, and i did not get an OTM month because there were better characters, even though one person voted for him.

I never voted on any OTM, because I saw it as unfair. When I joined, I saw that only high ranks get voted on or the person that's most recognized. To me, it wasn't even about the character. It's User of the Month.
