Our first monthly contest!
The competition for the Member of the Month for December begins now (even though December has not started yet)! It will go on until December 31st, and the winner will be announced in the first YWS newsletter going out in January.
In order to win member of the month, a number of things are taken into consideration: the activeness of the month, the behavior of the member, amount of reviews given by the member, the quality of the reviews, and the number of works published by the member. In order to take into account for all this, I have simplified it down to the Prestige and the Points system. Since prestige reflects how well the member is regarded, and points reflect quality of reviews, number of works published, and the activeness of the member, these two systems can be used to determine the member of the month.
But, besides that, the amount of points the member has donated will also be taken into affect! That means that somebody with 8.5 prestige, 2000 points and 200 donated points is actually less likely to win member of the month than somebody with 8.3 prestige, 150 points and 2000 donated points.
As a reward, the member of the month will be featured in the newsletter, will have his/her prestige bumped up by .3 and will have an award placed in their profile for all to see.
Remember, you cannot win if you are not reviewing!
One more thing, it is possible to win member of the month two months in a row.
