How about you reward traders that follow the rules by allowing them to have 1 of the sticky spots once a month? They should have been a member for a set length of time and have had no infractions/warnings for a set a mount of time. Could be a vote...

Hmmm... well there are already a ton of people that follow the rules. Friendly mod bumps aren't enough? (

That is a good suggestion. The only problem is that at least 50% of the traders qualify under those conditions and we can't really sticky 50% of the people here once a month. Well, theoretically I suppose we could but it'd be a pain in the ass to be a Santa with his naughty/nice list then make a huge sticky queue of rule-followers. lol

I think he meant just rule out the people that can't follow rules and of the remaining people, just randomly pick one once a month and give him/her the spot for the week, or however long the sticky lasts. "Pick a name out of a hat" games are always fun. Unless you're in that short story "The Lottery," of course. D

I suppose random picking could work. Hmmm...

I think the friendly mod bumps are enough. People should follow the rules without needing a incentive, only my two cents

I definitely agree that people should play by the rules, but i wouldn't really consider it an incentive to not be a jerk, just a random once-a-month bonus for a member in good standing.
Friendly mod bumps are nice too tho D

Well I don't want to overcrowd the stickies too much and I know donators wouldn't want that. Although we mods do have the ability to sticky our threads along with the others. P
None of us have done it yet though.

I'd like to voice a serious complaint.
I believe your "top reporter" data has been skewed. I'm trying to run a legitimate "report button" business over here, and I've noticed that Hehehehhheeehehehheeehehehe catches my reports before you, thus I am not as prominent on your pie chart as I perhaps should be. This is an outrage. I hereby suggest, J4/stickymod/Toolman, that you glue your ass to your chair and never leave your computer, as you will not miss as many of my reports this way. Thank you for your continued concern D D D
I am of course 100% kidding D
