VCE Notes Awards

[psychlaw]

Hey just a suggestion
we should have like official VCE notes awards (a bit like the premiers award but an internal thing)
EG -the highest achiever in VCE Notes gets the VCE notes award for that subject

and we should have a dux of VCE Notes for the best general achiever.......

the prize??? Umm I dunno... prestige 
or a title under your name stating your achievments


just a suggestion...

I want the psych award if this actually turns happens lol
I think it would be sweet to have "Dux of Psych" under my username

[costargh]

I like the idea of people gettin the title in their profile thingo.

Yeah this is pretty cool, but people will need to provide proof. *cough*Akira*cough

But then:

- How will you know if people get what they claim?
- How will you justify who is more deserving of the title? Eg person 1 has posted 5 times and has gotten 50. Person 2 has posted 809 times and has gotten 49. Who gets the pretentious title here?

yea and it should go for the whole year, until next year's results, where the title will change between people (to the next person who gets the highest in that subject/overall)
you shouldn't be allowed to have it forever to make it more rare and heighten the prestige of it!!

(1) Herald Sun Top Achievers ?? (and if theres insufficent evidence .... then they shouldn't get it )
(2) .... Put a post limit for the awards... like karma... 50 posts atleast maybe??

I absolutely despise the concept of post counts, and how you can actually judge a person's contribution (or quality as a member) based on that.

Who is akira?

Some guy last year that got 99.95 that we never knew his real name or any way to prove his results, who probably did exist

[psychlaw]

Who is akira?

someone who claimed they got 50 in spec, chem, methods, and physics.... and 48 in english... plus 5.5 in uni extention

yet they never had proof..... eventually they deleted there account after much doubt to whether there scores were valid

[cara.mel]

He had been around for a while (eg, on BoS for yonks), I'd lean towards he was real, just my opinion

I don't.
it's not really judging there quality/contribution as a member... just commitment i think

you wouldn't want to see people like under 20 posts as a moderator would you *cough* legaltutor *cough*

yeh, but as a community our contribution is split between BOS/FSN/VN as we moved over as a group. Plus this website was born early out of necessity during exam periods, many people not contriibuting as they were busy. There are others like coblin, ahmad, myself and others who looked at work via pm's and gave advice via IRC. Measuring commitment via post count therefore becomes arbitrary. I don't possess a high post count myself (given that i was the 15th member to join) as entry to my course and other potential courses required ridiculous amounts of paperwork, then there was the UMAT . . .

The point is that post count is not the best indicator of a poster's commitment.

Lol, what would be even more interesting is if someone with a higher mark came along half-way through next year xD

Simple: If your not there at the "award giving ceremony"  (sometime soon after the results).... then you shouldn't be counted
