Community idea: Flag and Sail designs of the month

[TomSavage]

I'm just throwing this out there as a thought that came into my mind. As you know we can no longer comment on designs that are currently in voting, however I thought it would be a nice thing to highlight designs that people see as they're clicking through all the piles of content.

------------------------------------

The way this would roughly work is that there would be a thread in the forums called: (this is example only, don't go looking now)

"User Content Flag of the Month Submissions: May"

In that you can post a flag design you've seen and liked and then post it on the forums in the thread and then that would be up for that months vote.

The first week (or 2 if needs be) would be a case of collecting designs and hearing views of others on them in general, then a new thread is made as a poll where the designs would be listed and you could pick your favourite.

At the end of the month, the winner would be declared and they would get a mention off Aether or Marion, say, in the news area of the site and they might get some in-game prize (probably nothing major, just a nice little thing to keep... like I said, post ideas!)

I just think it would be a nice way to congratulate a good piece of work, as I'm getting a bit bummed about all the poor stuff floating in user content right now.

The only fixed rules I can think of as such would be:

1. You can submit your own design
2. Designs need to abide by the 2D User Content Guidelines

You'd have it once a month for both flags and sails.

-----------------------------

Anyway, what do you think? Would this be a nice feature to have? What sort of prize (if any) would you like to see? Any thoughts on improving this?

Thoughts, suggestions, you know the drill. Post it here

We actually have other plans for highlighting outstanding User Content, but right now they're waiting for us to put the final bows and ribbons on UC 2.0 before working to roll them out.

Ah you see, great minds think alike
