What staff look for/at: - top ***** quality ratings by OTHER members - comments in reports, guestbooks and forums - generally honest, good and friendly conduct In no way should a "nomination" influence the staffs final decision, as the awards are totaly up to them for the best promotion of this GLOBOsapiens community and the website, nothing else! The nomination is to make them AWARE of a candidate. After that, they know best! The award "PoM" best Picture-of-the-Month is particularly a difficult one for them as there are usuauly dozenz of excellent pictures to choose from, perhaps the category should be splitted one day? The award "MoM", best Member-of-the-Month" is even harder they say but really can also be calculated! - best input, real GLOBOpoints that month - best interest, internet clicks that month - most comments in guestbook/reports/forum - a factor, better newbees, rather not (just)previous winners, but certainly long term members, pioneers should also be rewarded! How should/can we help staff? That by nominating here whenever you see something/someone special at GLOBO! You help also members, specially new ones too! INFO: Anonymous or direct nominations can also be sent directly to staff under "contact" in the bar at the bottom of the homepage, also from an anonymous email address when not logged on.

I do read most of the contributions, member feedbacks to other members and so on. So any info is helpful and helps me to make an overall decission. An excellent indication is the rating of content by members and their comments for example to reports and guest books. So I try to make a decission which reflects the choice of most GLOBO members.

One of the best Albums in MAY 2005: http://www.globosapiens.net/mistybleu/slide-show-the-old-town-of-prague-760.html Some of the best reports in MAY 2005: www.globosapiens.net/travel-information/Hong+Kong-1637.html www.globosapiens.net/travel-information/Manchester-1657.html www.globosapiens.net/travel-information/Antwerp-1667.html www.globosapiens.net/travel-information/Versailles-1674.html www.globosapiens.net/travel-information/Ukiah-1673.html Member of the Month? This, more than the other awards can only really be considered entirely by staff, no rating or star system will help here. I find though that the continuous contributions and adventurous achievements of wojtekd should be aknowledged once again, specially for a very detailed travel-log! If we had just 5 members like him, GLOBO really would be autonomous! Wojtekd previously won MoM back in Oct 2003 but as said, deserves more credit someday again, a true traveller and adventurer. --- Rudolf "Rangutan" Graspointner Reply    Reply with quote    Contact rangutan   bear495 Joined: May 03 Points: 8634 Posts: 177 Posted: 2005-06-01 14:55:00    Another great list, Rudi. I might add some of the late entries of different sights in Sevilla, Spain by Whereisliz. She always has some wonderful and creative photos (and these are no exception).

I entered some lists, infos, points, clicks, thoughts and other factors into a formula for last months contributions and "IT" came up with the following list of the most active members best suited TOP20 as MoM. Note, this is just a test and does not include data from all the 14000+ members, only from those with more than 500 points and mainly then top 200 members by points. The members are: eirekay (also TOP 10 in August) gloriajames (also TOP 10 in August, won MoM NOV2004) ravinderkumarsi (also TOP 10 in August) downundergal (also TOP 20 in August) mistybleu (also TOP 10 in August, MoM winner APR2005) jorgesanchez (also TOP 10 in August, MoM winner JUL2005) horourke (also TOP 10 in August) dipaks esfahani (also in August) kandath suhadis (also in August and winner AUG2005) bootlegga (winner FEB2005) bear495 (also TOP20 in August, MoM AUG2003) daniserralta (also in August, PIONEER ) polytrad (also in August) nedkelly whereisliz magsalex sven_ak (also in August) I was connected to GLOBO almost every day in September, missed some stuff, but can assure that any of the above members are worthy of the award "MoM" (specially the ladies this time) for September 2005 and they should also be considered that in the future...
