I just saw there was the new member of the month and after viewing his profile (https://www.newschoolers.com/ns/members/profile/member_id/36599/) I was wondering how he was chosen.

He didn't log in in the last month, he doesn't have any videos uploaded but has a few picture.

Just wondering.

 
yup, this 100% proves that MOtM needs to be user submitted and voted for, not based on a faulty system
 
Hasn't logged in in over a month.

Won Member of the Month for month he wasn't online.

I've come to the conclusion that everyone who logins therefore makes this place a worse place.

Shame.
 
I seem to agree somehow haha or just that the systemed is flawed and needs to be changed as said. But in the meantime hee are the steps to be MOTM.1. Make a few helpful posts

2. Log off and don't log back in for at least a month

3. ??????

4. Profit!
 
I want member of the week, voted by members. And member of the month determined by vids or whatever other contributions earn it
 
right when i think i have an idea of how the karma/motm system works, shit like this happens and i'm like wtf bro ?!
 
It makes no sense. His karma shot through the fucking roof about 15 days ago, judging by his karma chart.
 
looking at his chart nobody changed their rating of him, and his karma grew exponentially. sooooo weird

His exchange rating is plummeting. I'm assuming people are realizing this shenanigans and are trying to fix it.
 
Answers, NS?

Whatever bot NS has choosing this shit pulled his MOTM "description" straight from his profile, filling in some of the words to make semi-coherent sentences.
 
Shocker that we manage to stay alive isn't it?

WHat a fucking horrible tech team we have. Fuck, do I ever hate us.

We'll get this figured out.

 
Well good thing the kinks were ironed out! July's member of the month is currently perma-banned.... Total role model ;)
 
Something about a dead mom or what not.

Go to the login bar, type in I.B then a random password and itll tell you exactly why. 100% safe and secure, and it works with any account. Try it with anybody, meth_time, arabian, frenchy etc.
 
I'm pretty sure his karma grew so much because of how fast the "Post your latest purchase" thread has been growing. And I believe the creator of thread receives karma based on how long it is.I could be wrong, but I think thats what happened.
 
You guys do realize that if it was member voted and submitted there would also be huge arguments? Nobody ever can completely agree on who is supposed to fill a spot like this.

Besides, I actually think that this guy was doing pretty well right up until his ban.

Look at the feedback - https://www.newschoolers.com/ns/members/profilefeedback/member_id/144315/

So sure... you could debate whether a person who is currently banned should have a chance at MOTM. But you can't say that this guy didn't contribute.

His Karma Xchange rating was going up quite a bit, as well as lots of his threads getting activity.

As an FYI, this member was chosen for completely different reasons than the last few.

 
I understand why I.B was chosen, but why this other rando before him slipped into the system is beyond me.
 
Okay, this is a needed bump

This member of the month system is broken.

the new member of the month is BlindBlinds$

bahahaha, yea...sure...

To some things up, this is probably one of the least active members at this time. Has according to a source of mine, only 2, now 3 Karma xchanges, 1 of them is the 0/10 i gave him to see how much it impacted his relativity high karma which pretty much halved it.

So can someone please explain to me how this user is member of the month instead of anybody else that probably deserved it.
 
I was wondering the same thing because I just saw he was the new member of the month, and I had never seen him in a thread or anything.

 
The concept isn't flawed, but the calculation of Karma needs to be tweaked to be more relevant.

Here's what I would ask you... what user do you think should have been MOTM? Same to everyone else... who should have gotten it in your mind?

 
people who deserve it (to give you an idea):

-bwalmer (prev. flashkick101) for his gear talk help over the fall/winter

-RNSphotography is a newer member, but had like, 4 or 5 top rated photos in the last month.

If orange names qualified:

-Akrieg for his video work and decent contributions in the forums

-TWoods for his awesome photo work (his name is in the top rated of the month too many times to count)

I don't get into ski gabber and gear talk as much over the summer, but i bet there are some great contributors that I missed.
 
I have a curious question, in why we can't have a member nominated MOTM that was handled by a mod or two or three? Where you could write up a legit bio/interview and not just take stuff from their profile? I think it would be rad to have a blog style MOTM where you could read actual info about the person. It interacts the members of the site, and gives more pride/strive to actually get the spot.
 
also, the member of the month for last month at one point was I.B.

He is permabanned, and has been for a couple weeks…..
 
Somebody that has submitted worthy posts, uploaded picture(s) that have made it to the front page and/or uploaded a video that has made it to video of the day/week/month.

All my opinion of course.
 
NS mods are pretty busy deleting/saving all of the good threads/porn posted, in that order. Admins are busy running NS... might a panel of trusty blue names be the best nominators for MOTM? May I remind everyone how well Golden Wheelchair nominations went without any offishalnesses?
