Quoteand  if the user has a badge or not,  is never taken in consideration when the team choses the mod and theme of the month.

Funny, it always used to be. The program was introduced just as I was joining the team (Aug 2009) and at that point, team members weren't eligible at all.

Well, AFAIK it has been one of the criteria that it should be non-team, but you were non-team when you did that mod so that's basically covered there... And I don't think it's a strict rule anyhow...

Team submissions have been allowed for quite some time (Sinan had one or two chosen last year)...  When you have to chose between some avatar packs and some bbcode mods from the community, or something more extravagant that actually adds something of value to the board from a team member, I sure has hell wouldn't want to feature the bbcode...

Yes, I know that sort of thing, we did it back in November or December 09, because of a shortage of approved mods from the community, when we showcased three from the team. But generally it was heavily discouraged.

Geez...  pick  some other mod from a regular user and lets get this over with...


This will certainly remind me to kindly refuse any other mod I create to be considered for this again...

MAS, you are certainly not at fault there - and you are not the first teamie to have a mod featured, so relax ;)

Eh? Don't be too hard on yourself: you did a good job here, and it's only right that it should be recognised.

Like I said,  pick other mod  === everyone happy.

I certainly do not like the idea  that my mod was chosen just because I wear a badge...   best way to avoid that its just never let that happen again :)

It wasn't chosen because of a badge, to be completely honest, the discussion on MOTM and TOTM do not list author names next to the mod or theme. You're fine MAS.

Wait a minute. If this mod is so special and unique that it deserves this title, then I don't see any reason why it shouldn't be mod of the month.

Right - I don't think it makes any difference if it was done by a team member, or a newbie member...

I don't think anyone is not happy... we're simply having a discussion...

A discussion where I prefer not to be involve...  and where I do not want to "defend"  my mod  from  hints, insinuations or the likes that imply that I got this because of a badge...    thus, pick another mod, let me out of this and continue the discussion.  :)

What's wrong with having the mod of the month huh?  ??? Isn't that good a thing?

I haven't tried this mod but if it's worth to be the "mod of the month" then why not?

Yep - Too late now. And seriously I doubt anyone thought for a second that your badge had anything to do with it. :)

You misunderstand me...   if there is an urge to discuss  if team member's mods are allowed to be considered for MOTM ,  thats fine by me...as its something I have no interest on,    just do not use me or my mod as an excuse to start such discussion... 


This was suppose to be a simple topic full of "congrats"  and all that...   but  as always, people find the way to twist it...

As MAS already said, this topic should really go back to it's original intent which should be to congratulate Miss All Sunday on her contribution, and thank her for donating her time to write such mods.
