Christianchat.com achievement system

Good morning, day, and night, fellow descendants of Adam and Eve!
This thread contains a suggestion for a website upgrade: achievement system.

Achievement systems reward collectible medals and icons to people who solve particular problems. On forums such as these, an achievement system can be a solid indicator as to how reliable, informative, and mature members are.

• 
  [*=1]Member of the year
  [*=1]Blog of the week
  [*=1]Best post of the day
  [*=1]Best thread of the month
  [*=1]Most likely to become a moderator

• 
  [*=1]Most godly
  [*=1]Clown
  
  [*=1]Most tolerant of other's beliefs
  [*=1]Clean mouth (Never swears.)
  [*=1]Least likely to go on a rampage and kill people if he/she is the pilot of an invincible warplane (This medal might never be awarded to Praus.)

Not to sound too harsh, but this just sounds like another high school popularity contest in my opinion. I've seen forums torn apart by these "rewards" because of people playing favoritism, etc. We want all members welcome and feel as if they belong here, but when favoritism leaks into the system, that's when forums go downhill.

I nominate TaylorTG for most godly and least likely to go on a rampage and kill people.

Yeah, I'm on the side of good intention, but ends in popularity contest. It could drive away new members. You can vote on threads, in the 'rate this thread' area, but hardly anyone seems to.

I just need the achievement called {Gets into heaven} anything else is fluff.

Yeah, no matter how well intended these things are, at the end of the day it just ends up being a popularity contest. And i can easily see this being a point of contention among some users. 'Wait, how did THEY get 'most Godly'? they're a blasphemous sinner with wrong doctrine!' and some continuing rant about the unfairness of it all. It would be less about any form of spiritual maturity than it would be garners the most votes. Not because it shows them as being right, but having garnered the most followers or supporters.
If you really want to know these things about people, just read. Because waht if 'most Godly' holds to doctrines that i don't? So i assume they are someone special when i approach them, yet only to find out i think what they have to say is a bunch of bull.
Also this adds problems to the recipient. Because now new people will be flocking to this person with questions.
As well as adding more work for the admins and mods. Just seems like a lot of work with little reward and a lot of potential to go wrong.

..........

bad idea. these things start off "good" but end result is bad

Thank you for bothering to take the time and energy correct me, fellow forum members. I support the corrections, and I will resolve for my future threads to be more productive. My regrets for wasting your time.

God bless!

If we helped you, bother Taylor, our time was well-spent. Godspeed.

Instead of rewards showing on CC, they could mail us chocolate as prizes. It would be a no tell if you got the chocolate policy.

No point in doing this, I'd just win every time
I'll be expecting my chocolate prize in the mail..express would be appreciated
