What I was suggesting was actually chosing a movie that was intended to be seen during that week and then we would discuss it in perhaps a specific thread in order to avoid talking separate subjects? One thing is having a thread where we can recommend movies and talk about our favorite movies and such. The other thing is to have an actual thread (or at least activity) of setting a specific movie to see. Does this make sense?
I understand, but this may lead to more spam... Of course, if you'd like to start a new topic, you are free to do it, this is just my opinion. We fought with a lot of spam inside the actual topic, and we are still fighting. I reported hundreds of posts not respecting the posting rule, posts made in general by newbies looking to farm their accounts with activity points, but which don't know they need also merits for ranking up. Excepting this, it is possible that not all members will have the possibility to watch a suggested movie, due to various reasons: can't find it on the Internet, don't have time, are not interested in the genre etc. But again, if you feel such topic would be useful, feel free to start it
I would love the funding to come from the members of the club themselves considering the nature of the contest, or even any member of our community that decided to take part. Of course that this is not a requirement, it would be nice to have. The goal of the contest wasn't the prizes themself, but the activity/discussion that we could have around the subject.
I could allocate some funds as part of this (albeit a very small amount).
The problem here is that, although you see many members inside this gang, many were added only because they suggested a movie once. Those were mostly newbies looking to farm accounts. From all the members mentioned in OP (I mentioned all as a form of respect), only a few are actively contributing to the topic related to movie suggestions. Maybe less than 10. Let's wait for a while and see if anyone would reply to this proposal of yours, although I doubt. I saw you said you are willing to offer some funding, and this is very generous of you
But if that is just a very small amount and nobody else joins, if you want, we can proceed with this amount, no matter its size. After all, the contest is for fun, like the previous one - the one which led to the birth of this gang
Totally agree that we have to follow the forum guidelines on this matter. As for the question of only a certain class being able to use an avatar ... I guess that it is what it is. People that aren't tied to a campaign and that want to take part on the whole activity would be welcome to wear it.
Well, I resized the picture from OP to avatar requirements
If anyone wants to wear it, feel free to do so
Besides, if you have another idea about a specific avatar, post it here.
I'm up for both ideas and with setting up a system to help sort out the entries for the contest or general helping in whatever may be needed regarding the group. Let's go wild
I guess we could use the Oscar's system for each category...
Yeah, for sure. I was talking about assigning someone to manage the user entries and register the votes (so that people don't change the values on a spreadsheet or edit their posts and what not - even though we could see if it was edited or not).
Sure, if you want to keep track of it, why not?
If it helps, you can take a look also at the
previous contest.
