If we can work out the details, I'm for it. As I'm sure you know my time is somewhat more limited lately than it has been in the past, what with writing essays for scholarships and whatnot and school starting in a few short weeks, but I'm game if it doesn't suck up too much time. |
Great!
I think I would advocate a "minimal intrusive work" policy for this anyway!
Like I said above the POTM award would involve nothing more than collating the posts that have been voted in thread to deserve a POTW stamp. The mod who has to insert that stamp could easily copy that post at the same time they stamp it. "Select all-copy-change docs-paste" is a few seconds extra effort. It doesn't even matter if multiple mods have different posts. Once a month, c + p them into a PM to that month's volunteer and bingo. Not a huge amount of work I think you'll agree. Especially as POTWs are handed out on the basis of in thread clamouring/possibly PMs as and when they are written. All the volunteer has to do is properly quote mark the posts sent to them (basically done already), setup a poll, post set a due by date for votes and retire!
As for Chez Watt (or the new AtBC version), there is a thread of sorts already made by young Ras. A quick retitle, people adding their tardworthy sigs, a cheeky vote for this month's winner from a randomn 10 (suggested by we the readership perhaps) and boom, job done!
The Brave Sir Robin Award, easy: ask a question 3 times, if the person keeps running away (an honest refusal =/= running away) and pretending they have answered it or have no need to (sans explanation): bingo! The thing awards itself. I predict that there will be months of one person winning it generating comedy comments like "18th yellow streaked month of glory for....".
