Hi Team,

I'm looking forward to the honorary thread for Jill for Person Of The Year!

As far as qualifications for POTW...I think communication in public is important, social networking is a major part of being online, that's what being online is all about.

Using available services in the community should be part of the POTW eligibility requirements (having an active forum, profile & photo) if the winner is receiving a prize that has public recognition and monetary value and can also bring them more income, the ad to 80,000 subscribers is a big thing and the nominees should meet social community requirements, not just "be here" for the week or 2 weeks before & during their own election. Just "being here" and not communicating and not having a fully active forum isn't what I'd call a reason to be on the ballot and win a valuable prize.

The community doesn't want to see a ballot with 4 people who are just "being here" not doing anything, we want to see 4 nominees who all participate in forums and are responsible with their own forum and have filled in their profile and enjoy being here consistently, not just popping in because someone nominated them and told them they were nominated, or just nominated themselves and then popped out again.

Hello Active Adlanders,

I should have asked this earlier, but being the silly season and we have a dirth of qualified candidates at the moment... " Would it be wise to delay the next POTW Awards till the first week in January, so that we have a larger pool of active qualified members?

Should we have qualification rule changes?

If so what rules/guidelines would be advised?

Just asking as I now have company for the holidays and sure many others will have or will be company over the next fortnight or so.

Jim

PS: During this time we can have the Honorary POTY Thread for Jill Bachman, as I did not receive any negative feedback on honoring Jill in this way.

Your Feedback/Input is expected and appreciated.
