Quote:What happens when people go straight to Omni with 100 posts, is Omni then checking with Sam before giving the award? People may try and bypass the 10 posts and Sam rule altogether.
Sam is instructed to leave a "user note" only staff can see. I'll know if someone is approved or denied then.

I asked him before implementing this if he could handle it. Realistically I only give out about 3 of these per week. Total so far in December is 11. He should only get about one or two request per day. If he can't handle that he shouldn't be staff here.

It will be fine. I get enough complaints about the 100 crap posts that I think this is a nice compromise. It's likely someone will only make 10 bad posts before we tell them to fudge off. Sometimes an idiot comes along and makes 50 in 30 minutes and then we have crap everywhere. I know that's the bulk of the complaints.
Quote:What happens if they post 10 excellent, quality posts and then decide to keep it up for the next 30 posts. The following 60 might be horrendous. Does that mean Omniscient is going to check each of those 60 posts?
They'll be denied the award anyways and likely have a closed account.
Quote:2. I did think to myself earlier that I'll probably make some enemies with this new system, I'm not too fussed.
You won't if you're professional and don't engage in arguments. Simple response like "Sorry but due to the poor quality of your posts we are denying you the award".
Quote:lthough I think around 75%+ of the people whom are here for the feather wont bother reading this post
I don't really actively promote the SF award. People only know about it seeing others have it. They then view the awards page which states it's for 100 quality posts at SupportForums.net. I've changed the description so it points to this thread. I really don't think it will be a problem. I don't think people understand that the SF Feather isn't actively promoted at HF.
I am here to rescue you.This is Support Forums not Support PMs. Do not PM me for support unless it's private and site related.
