Super User roadwarrior Posted January 27, 2009 Super User Posted January 27, 2009 We always discuss member comments and suggestions. Many members felt the Elite Series was disparaging to other members, especially to those who consistently contribute to the Forum. The program ran for about a year and has been dropped. -Kent a.k.a. roadwarrior Global Moderator
Super User fourbizz Posted January 27, 2009 Super User Posted January 27, 2009 I figured that after Alpster was recognized there was no need to continue ;D
Super User flechero Posted January 28, 2009 Super User Posted January 28, 2009 Many members felt the Elite Series was disparaging to other members It's sad to me that a few desperate personalities can ruin good things for the thousands of others. Sort of reminds me of a certain honorary project that ruffled some insecure person's feathers. Pitiful. Hey- remember when you could just say BassResource.com isn't a democracy and tell someone to.... smile and worry about themselves.
mattm Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 I heard that I was next, and the powers that be thought it would be better to discontinue. ;D Is it sad that I agree?
BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted January 28, 2009 BassResource.com Administrator Posted January 28, 2009 Hey Fletch - that project isn't dead. Expect to get a PM soon. Mattm - ya, we realized we were scraping the bottom of the barrel there.
Siebert Outdoors Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 Mattm - ya, we realized we were scraping the bottom of the barrel there. I havent got a PM yet. So you cant be that desperate.
Super User J Francho Posted January 28, 2009 Super User Posted January 28, 2009 Many members felt the Elite Series was disparaging to other members, especially to those who consistently contribute to the Forum. Still waiting for my Certificate of Participation. Everybody's a winner? Oh, brother. Congrats to those that were featured anglers. It was interesting to read their backgrounds.
Super User flechero Posted January 28, 2009 Super User Posted January 28, 2009 Hey Fletch - that project isn't dead. Yes, I was told it could continue with some changes. I'm absolutely thrilled that it will, and hope to be a long time participant. I'm still amazed that anyone could have a problem with it. People never cease to amaze me. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- back on topic... I'm only mildly surprised that some had problems with elite members... I think it takes a pretty high opinion of yourself to get upset for not being selected. To those that just weren't interested, they didn't have to read them. It's like an ugly stick thread... if you don't care, don't click. But don't ruin it for the rest of us. Maybe we could still profile some "average members" or perhaps tenured members once in a while. At least then, those of us who are interested can read them.
bigdog Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 I feel the ones the mods choose are deserving of the elite members and the ones that complain sorry.
slomoe Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 On another forum I visit they have a "Member of the Week" thread where they randomly select a member and for a week straight other members post questions and the MOTW has to answer them. Questions could be related to the member or just random crazy questions. Its pretty funny...... just a suggestion
Low_Budget_Hooker Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 Going from 12/yr to 52/year ................... down scaling????
slomoe Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 It doesn't have to be a flashy profile type thing, just members asking MOTW questions. And that MOTW could be the one who chooses the next, instead of everything being on the Mods
moby bass Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 Cool. It will only take us just under 360 years to run through everybody... assuming no one else joins the site. ;D
Super User Tin Posted January 28, 2009 Super User Posted January 28, 2009 Wow, Spedra being "Elite" makes me want to go emo... Where has the little ____ gone anyway? :-? :-/
Super User .dsaavedra. Posted January 28, 2009 Super User Posted January 28, 2009 Wow, Spedra being "Elite" makes me want to go emo... Where has the little ____ gone anyway? :-? :-/ all i can do is laugh ;D MOTW sounds good. it seems kinda neat about just asking them questions and they answer.
Daniel A. Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 I like the ideas of the forum highlighting a member, whether elite or MOTW. I enjoyed reading the profiles of past elite members. If someone has a problem with members designated elite, perhaps he or she should spend the energy to improve instead of complaining...
fish-fighting-illini Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 Member of the month sounds good; maybe it was the "elite" tittle that was the problem. Guys their is no reason not to post the topic yourself you don't need a moderator. Just come up with a list of set questions and post them. Have that member pass the buck so to speak. You can cut "n" paste from the original thread.
Super User flechero Posted January 29, 2009 Super User Posted January 29, 2009 Muddy, I think what he meant was that anyone who wanted to post up a profile or answer a set of questions could just post it, without being "officially nominated" with a title. Kind of like an expanded introduction. on a less serious note... let's all ignore what the Mods and Glen have decided Some would say that "we" already do that.
Super User Muddy Posted January 29, 2009 Super User Posted January 29, 2009 Yea, it seeems I have a standing date with Irene myself :
Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted January 29, 2009 Super User Posted January 29, 2009 That's some suggestion, let's all ignore what the Mods and Glen have decided They started this to show some nice recognition, made some wise choices, others felt left out, and many complained via PM Now we have a long time member saying, never mind their decision. just go ahead and do it anyway, GEEZZ > Down boy!!!! Dom, the ice will melt soon enough. Keep your sanity my friend.... ;D
Super User flechero Posted January 29, 2009 Super User Posted January 29, 2009 Yea, it seeems I have a standing date with Irene myself : That's ok, I hear she's a little more challenging than Pettis!
