It sounds hard..it involves in voting/nominating, then the next month those votes needs to be wiped

Bump......

This is a great idea, anyone working on something like this yet?

i was thinking of this hack too, here are a few little ideas that i came up with also

Momber of the Month must have equal to or greater then XXX amount of posts, and you can change this in the admin CP, so you dont have to go into the hack file and change it whenever your board gets more posts.

But instead of tallying up the nominations its an automated system where it randomly picks the user ever first day of the new month, but the same user cnnot be MOTM twice in a row.

i hope someone does. this would be a nice addition to any site.

Why don't you do like BOTM here, one thread for nominations, count seconds, etc. Then another thread with a poll that runs for 30 days?

Because allowing user to choose who to nominate would make the choosing fair and less work on our part starting 2 threads... at least that is my reasoning...not sure about others..

This would be a great idea, for me I plan on using this to give rewards like ipods and other electronic gadgets in exchange for being nominated... More user interaction, better quality posts etc...

Great idea all around! Anyone really working on this?

I am now.... :)

Well you can see the Member of the Month mod on my site. I just got it done, right now you can only nominate members but on May 1st, the poll will be live to vote on.

I am in the process of completly revamping my site so this new feature will be very cool.

Have you made the mod available for download?
