About Member Of The Season
Member of the season works as our replacement of the old system called "Member of the month" in which we ran a vote along the community asking which member that deserved the Member Of The Month title. Now we've changed system and it's called Member Of The Season instead. What this is, is that members of the community are able to vote forward liked members for their activity, helpfulness or overall personality and those with most votes get to wear the MOTS title for the upcoming season.
Why would I want to become a MOTS?If you are nominated forward and place in the top positions in the final MOTS vote you will gain a few treats.
- Unique coloured name on the active online list for the upcoming season
- Unique user title on your profile (
Member Of The Season)
- Your name written in the Hall Of Fame among with all the other MOTM and MOTS members in the past.
How do you become MOTS?In theory you must be nominated forward from the other members of the community to qualify in the actual MOTS vote that comes afterwards, if you place in the top 3 you will officially be a MOTS. But in order to get there you must be a friendly face outwards towards the community, be active and helpful. If members know and like who you are, you are more likely to get nominated, and more likely to place high enough in the actual vote.
Rules about MOTSMore details about the rules will be found in the actual nomination and voting threads that will be active when it's time for MOTS. A few simple rules are however that you can only nominate 2 users all together every MOTS nomination time. You must also have reached a certain post count in order to nominate other users. Once the final vote is up after the nominations, you are allowed to vote for max 3 users or less in which you think deserve the MOTS position for the upcoming season. A newer rule added recently is also that members that win the MOTS title for a season cannot be nominated forward and voted for two seasons in a row.
MOTS ProposalBeing that members of MOTS stand for the community, we are now inviting
MOTS to join us in the staff room. They will be able to see new things regarding the game, join in discussions and pitch ideas on behalf of the community. Remember, MOTS are selected by the community, so choose wisely!
- MOTS access will
not be limitless. MOTS will not have access to MIT(Mod in Training) selections as it's not uncommon for MOTS to be discussed for MIT positions.
- MOTS will
not have direct access to reports from users.
However as the community you may approach your elected MOTS (Assuming you feel you cannot talk directly to the staff for whatever reason) and they can communicate with the staff on your behalf.
- MOTS will
not have access to is the historical archive of the staff room. We believe it's unfair on previous staff who would probably never have anticipated this change to have their posts suddenly under public scrutiny. But all posts from this point unless under the two categories above will be available to them.
On behalf of the community, MOTS will now be here to create more
transparency between the community and staff. If MOTS feels that staff is not working to the best of their abilities or feels staff is not doing their job, they can speak to staff in regards to it. But if staff finds a MOTS simply spewing information from the staff for the purposes of popularity or other reasons not beneficial to the community, they will be removed from their post (This will be discussed with the other MOTS at the time). MOTS will not be receiving moderator powers. MOTS are here to bring your ideas and opinions directly to staff.
