I've created a member to do this properly. They are RandomActsofKindness and that is the account though which we we do our RAKs, so they can be anonymous.
The points that we may gain through reviewing with this account will be used to give gifts or donations.
The Random Acts of Kindness account

To gain access to the account, please PM me (and join the club, of course) and I'll give you the password.
Please keep in mind this account exists solely for the purpose of spreading happiness.
The account can be used for these things:
1. Reviewing other people's work.
I'm setting up a WRFF thread specifically for this account, in case we miss someone who may have wanted an act of kindness. If we give quality reviews, people will definitely feel the kindness. But the whole purpose of Random acts of kindness is for them to be random, so we should keep our WRFF review count lower than our random count.
2. We'll donate points and give gifts with the points
We don't have to wait for those gift giving seasons to give gifts. Gifts are fun all year around.
When would we donate points and give gifts? If you see someone doing something extra awesome around the site, say like helping someone learn their way around, or reviewing a lot of chapters in a row with out being asked to, or being welcoming etc. It's a good idea to encourage that behavior with gifts and points.
I'll leave it up to you as to whether a gift or points are in order. I do want to make it clear that seldom is more than 300 points necessary. We may have events using these points if this all goes well.
3. Everyone appreciates a little random compliment in their inbox or on their wall
Just try not to spam anyone. This is not a spamming account, it is a kindness account. (of course exceptions can be made as for a "Awh, I never get spammed.
" or something like that)
4. Feel free to post nice things on the RAK account's wall!
It's nice to see a positive thing when scrolling though the people tab.
5. Any other nice thing that comes to mind would be beautiful. -
We had our first member ask for the password, Hadj, and they did wonderfully! They already wrote a review! Thank you!
So another reminder, if you want to use the account, just PM me. ^_^
Also, as a general rule that won't be enforced whatsoever, try to only be on the account when you're actually doing RAKs. Especially on days like gift days, review days etc.
For example, on a review day, (if you can do this of course) you might want to write your review somewhere else, not signed into the account, and then when you finish you can sign in and just post it right quick. (Don't do several of these in a row though because then they get marked as spam if there isn't sufficient time in between them.)
This way someone else will have a chance to post a review while you're still writing yours.
Although I don't recommend using this account for review day. Then it's not really random, is it?
-
I really enjoyed reviewing/posting with that account!
Also, does it really have to be random to make a difference?
(Not that I would want to use it on review day anyways) -
I tried to PM you to ask, but it said you disabled PM?
-
Thats weird, I've messaged fortis a couple of times lately and never had a problem. If you want I can send you the password.
-
That would be great. I'm thinking of sending some gifts (with my own points) this weekend.
-
thank you hadj, and I didn't disable pm so I don't know what's up.
-
Hey fortis or Hadj, can I possibly have the password too in a PM? I messaged fortis once before but I'm not sure if it got lost or if I didn't really send it.
-
Sure Alliya! I'll pm it to you now.
-
Hadj beat you to it! Thanks!
