I think we should have weekly awards like the AVCA and the various conferences. This is a serious proposition, one that deserves serious attention from you peeps. Here are the awards I'm thinking about:
Best Thread Starter Post of the Week: Award goes to the poster with the best thread-starting post. The post has to be the FIRST post in the thread, one that starts the thread. Usually, this will be given to the poster who started the hottest topic of the week.
Best Response Post of the Week: Award goes to the poster who provided the best response to a post. The response can be a response to any post, whether that post is a thread starter or just a regular post within a thread.
Best Match Summary Post of the Week: Award goes to the poster who provided the best summary of a match that week.
Best Match Evaluation Post of the Week: Award goes to the poster who provided the best critique/evaluation of a match that week.
Best Humorous Post of the Week: Award goes to the poster who provided the most hilarious moment of the week. It has to be volleyball or VT related. No, you cannot merely tell a "Rabbi and a Priest went to a bar" joke.
Best Insight Post of the Week: Award goes to the poster who provided the best insight into any aspect of volleyball, from the sport to the business to the running of a collegiate operation.
And others...
Award should be a gift certificate, funded by the sale of VT t-shirts. (LOL!)
Of course, we should only select awards that are community-building and refrain from those that are community-destroying. For example, Best Douchebag of the Week is an award that is arguably entertaining but we do not want to promote douchebagginess in this forum. These types of awards are what I would consider community-destroying.
Best Thread Starter Post of the Week: Award goes to the poster with the best thread-starting post. The post has to be the FIRST post in the thread, one that starts the thread. Usually, this will be given to the poster who started the hottest topic of the week.
Best Response Post of the Week: Award goes to the poster who provided the best response to a post. The response can be a response to any post, whether that post is a thread starter or just a regular post within a thread.
Best Match Summary Post of the Week: Award goes to the poster who provided the best summary of a match that week.
Best Match Evaluation Post of the Week: Award goes to the poster who provided the best critique/evaluation of a match that week.
