The winner of the poll loses his thread starting privileges for a month. At the end of a month, that poster gets his privileges back, and another poll is created to choose the next victim. We'll call it the Deberg rule.

My problem is that this will be used to punish Planeteers who have unpopular opinions.

Floppy and I have discussed a little and I want more input. Please see the quote from said thread:



My questions for you all are:

1. If certain posters don't want to participate, do Flop and I force them?

2. We would do this monthly, utilizing a poll. Is that amicable or should we go less/more punishment?

3. If a poster gets this award multie times in a year, is there a more severe penalty we'd agree on?

4. I would like a different poster to run the event each month. Handling the nominations for dumbass threads, etc. I can sticky the nomination thread if you'd like.

5. Floppy and I would have the overall authority/final judgment if things get stupid or if we can't agree...(but only if needed).

Btw: it wouldnt necessarily have to be just three participants each month. We can go up to five or seven if needed. Up to you all. Rainman is good at organizing pole.

Let me know what the plan is.
Thx all.

This is a fun idea. Despite the obvious conclusion that I'll be stung with it a couple times a year.

This is a really stupid idea. Just make it so posters who don't have less than 1,000 posts can't make threads. We need less mod control around here not more.
