Ever felt like you were putting in so much effort and not getting rewarded for it? Stayed up all night formatting a 2000 row table with specials and discounts? Created your own Cheapies.nz bumper stickers and distributed them to 1,000 local community members?
Well now you don't have to feel left out!
We here at Cheapies.nz want to reward the most outstanding act from a member in any given month, so we are introducing a monthly reward for the 'Member of the Month'.
The prize for this will be $50 Paypal cash (or you can choose to donate it to your favorite charity), as well as a shiny silver badge!
Judging will be done primarily by myself, with input from the Moderator team aswell where necessary.
Political correctness will not be a consideration. If you have won the prize, you can win again, there will be no "everybody gets a turn" factor, or split prizes either. Basically the more competitive, the harder my job will be in deciding a winner, and that's not a bad thing!
So bring out your SuperCheapie capes, fire up the BatMobargain, and come up with innovative ways to contribute to the greater enjoyment and engagement of the community in an outstanding way.
Competition will begin retrospectively, from last month, as the idea was brought about and inspired by the first winner, who will be announced below.
Please note this may not necessarily be awarded monthly, but when an outstanding act of community spirit takes place.
Decided to do it a little differently this month:
The winners for March are Wellington, eXDee, and Mark Wasley.
Reason being that these 3 make up our team of Power Users.
Wellington and eXDee have both been doing this since around the middle of last year, quietly making ninja deal and title edits, and contributing to the community as a whole. Without these guys, and the rest of the mod team, I'd probably be bald by now!
Mark has only recently come on board, but it's no secret that he has been tremendous with his deal posting, and the quality of content he produces. At one point a week or so ago, the home page had 5 or 6 deals, all posted by Mark.
These 3 all volunteer their time to keep the site clean and looking good, as well as expiring deals and updating titles.
Congratulations to you guys, we all really appreciate the work you do, because of this, I'll be adding a little bit to the prize and giving them $50 each to go and grab some sweet DSE closing bargains…..
As the site and community keeps growing, we will be on the lookout for more Power Users. To be eligible for this role you need to ensure the quality of your deal descriptions are top notch, and the titles are of a high quality. Community conduct and the way you present yourself are also taken into account, but to a lesser extent as it's mostly a ninja position. Most importantly, to become a Power User, you need to be very familiar with the report function. If you spot a deal that you know is expired or incorrect, report it so we can clean it up.
