MotM Nominations: February

[Chordling]

​

Hello everyone!

Welcome to the user nominations thread for the February Member of the Month! A quick explanation for new users - the Member of the Month (or MotM for short) is a newsletter feature that showcases a user from the site. Users are encouraged to suggest members who possess friendly and dedicated qualities.



How does this work?

Every month, the newsletter volunteers prowl the site for remarkable members that deserve a bit more attention or accolade. But, there's only so many of us, and we can't possibly keep up with the amazing new content that you guys pump out! So this is where you come in.

Posting your nominations in this thread vastly increases the number of members that will be seen and considered for MotM, which is a good thing for everyone!



The Criteria

The member of the month should be:

Friendly: The user has a kind, pleasant demeanor.
Peaceful: The user does not instigate or exacerbate arguments, rule-breaking behavior, or other such problems.
Active: There are specific examples of times the user has answered other members' questions, created helpful or thoughtful content, given feedback, contributed to a discussion, etc.
Unaffiliated: The user is not an Administrator or Moderator. The user may be a Supporter.

Aside from following our criteria, when you suggest someone for MotM, please also link to three examples of this person being helpful, welcoming & friendly, and/or contributing content to RPN. Some examples include:

Warm, personal greetings in the Introductions forum.
Instances where the user has answered another user's question accurately.
Thoughtful contributions in the Discussion forums.
Work showcased in the Creativity forum.
Good tutorials written by the user.
And more!

Most importantly, users can’t nominate themselves – that’s right. You can nominate your friend’s thread, the group that you’re in right now that’s totally awesome – but you cannot nominate yourself.

Nominations will be open for two weeks, from the 6th to the 20th of January.



FAQ

Can I nominate myself?
No. Nominations should be of other members than yourself.

I think there's a better way to do this.
Please post your ideas in Admin Contact or in a suggestion thread in Site Questions & Information, and we will consider your method for the next month.



Click onward, and nominate!

I nominate @purity again! I found the links! She is super nice and always there for her friends or even random people on RPN, she knows how to help you when you feel down or when you're bored. She is a good friend.

I nominate @purity She is pretty chill and is super friendly. She's really good at consoling people and talking to them when she is down and she tries to help whenever she can

Psst, psst you have you post three links showing examples of their kindness, help, and/or contribution along with your nomination.

I nominate @King of Strong Style! He's a butthead but an okay butthead.


In all the roleplays I've been in with him, he's really inclusive. He's willing to wait for someone to reply, no matter how long it takes, and happily includes everyone in his posts.

I think there have only been a few times where I've gone onto the homepage for the site and didn't see him as the latest post in the introduction forum. King is really welcoming and goes out of his way to introduce people to the site.

I was a lil' surprised when I heard this, but he's involved in the art community. He takes requests, and his artwork's pretty impressive. When he posted his Viktor Nikiforov drawing, I was #blessed.

I'm always drowning in notifications because King has so many status updates, but that just proves that he doesn't have a life he cares about the site  [COLOR= rgb(58, 58, 58)]❤[/COLOR]


He has 192 comments on this one status update, and it blows my mind tbh. It's kind of like he created his own lil' community on his profile page because everyone's always commenting on and liking whatever it is he posted. I'm pretty sure he can post gibberish and get twenty likes.

I mean, just look at his member title..  RPN's Number One Source for News.  How inspirational, amirite?

I hope somebody nominates me one day.

I can completely agree with this. I'm in an Rp he started and that's cool

Don't forget to put your nominations in the form Musician linked at the bottom of her post.

There doesn't seem to be a 'Member of the Month' option under 'Content Type' in the form. Which option should be picked in this case?

 

[Count Gensokyo]

I think there should be a few more categories for future nominations.


I'll nominate @Idea for Unaffiliated. If there was a category I could give him, it'd probably be something akin to patience or perseverance. I feel like he's had quite a few bumps in the road to get a good group rp up that's up to his standards, and he's not willing to lower his standards for the rp's he envisions, either. He seems pretty passionate about the stuff he wants to get off the ground, and he isn't willing to take the easy way out.

It's not just for single categories.  Eligible nominees must meet all criteria.

I felt like a stalker looking through user's activities.


Nomination One:

Spoiler

@jinkx


This is a user who I have seen fairly active among discussion threads with a very positive attitude and always ready to jump in and defend a user when needed. They are a user who sticks by the rules and watches for others to have a respectful attitude in discussions. Jinkx has even created a thread fostering a welcoming attitude to allow users to broadcast goals and resolutions for the new year further nurturing the active community of Rpn. Not only can this user be seen in the discussion threads but have welcomed new users onto this site in various ways and in multiple threads. Recently I have also seen this user aiding another user in advertising a group that they whole-heartedly support.

Nomination Two:

@IctoraPost


IctoraPost is a huge help in the Site Questions and Information section. I see this user answering questions that I and perhaps many others couldn't answer. Ictora also knows what they are talking about and helps other users try and understand the content being said. This user continues to be active among the Site Questions and Information section but they can sometimes be found in the Introductions section greeting users.
