[Suggestion] Awards

[Donald J Trump]

With the number of participants declining, I think it's logical for the rewards to be increased to motivate members to joins.
Currently, I don't see any benefits to joining any of the competitions as I already have the maximum amount of visible awards on my profile.

I think the awards should go something along the lines of


1st Place: Visible award, Change name If desired,1-month coloured name(excluding red and blue) and choose one premiuem avatar to have.
2nd Visible Award and one premium avatar
3rd Visible award

I think it's fair, a lot of people put a tremendous amount of time in their applications and a simple award and cyan username doesn't seem that motivating.

Doesn't that defeat the purpose of awards? I mean they should be something that is special. If there are few people applying, then it wouldn't matter how good someone is at something. That would essentially mean that everyone gets an award just by applying, no?

Being apart of a certain competition is your own choice. Personally, I joined competitions when I wanted to hone my own skills and see how they would go up against someone else. It was a motivating factor.

Well there is a decrease in participation probably because it is not as active as it used to be.

No I don't think people get awards just by applying. If there are only 3 guys applying, then generally there should only be 1 winner out of the 3 that will get first place. If there are 6 participants, then there should be 1st,2nd and 3rd place given.

I doubt the award thing will ever happen but I wouldn't mind the cyan.

I want change. I want an upgrade.We've downgraded since 2015 because at least back then, first place winners could change their name. It's not like what I say is difficult to do in terms of implemention, everything is already available but just needs to be ported for awards.No one seens to cares anymore. This site is dying a slow painful death not because Naruto is finished, but because they failed to innovate anything anymore. They had such strong, active membership numbers and they let it slip.

Username change + large avatar is already in the contest winner usergroup. Atleast it was. Coloring usernames will confuse people what your position is, unless you get to chose some specific colors.

That's the main reason, in my POV ofc.

but because they failed to innovate anything anymore. They had such strong, active membership numbers and they let it slip.

but because the core members of NB were naruto readers. They had such strong, active membership numbers and they let it slip.

FTFY.

The problem with NB is that is mainly a naruto forum. Most of the people who came here came for naruto discussions and probably RP, but at the end of the day, it was all about naruto. Yes it did have it's own manga/anime section but it wasn't as popular as the main section; naruto.

Most of my friends knew that after that naruto ended, NB was going to decline in members and discussion and that's what happened after the main manga ended. There's boruto manga but not many people are interested in that after the clusterfk of the last arc of naruto. Plus, boruto as the main protagonist is just a mere copy pasta of naruto and sasuke.

I did read the manga [Gaiden] (couple of chapters) and tbh, there's nothing interesting in the naruto verse. If the MC was his sister, I probably would have gave it 20 chapters to see if it's going to be good or not but that isn't the case here. Because of that, I barely log in. I do it just to see what's up with the people that I used to talk and whatnot.

All in all, the base contents will die in 2018, late 2018.

bump: Can we get a response from an Admin? It's really a matter of the reward to effort ratio bring unbalanced.

 

[ROHAN]

Interesting suggestion.

 

[Onii Chan]

The contest section is practically dead though... have you seen the profile of the week contest? (03-23-2017, 02:48 AM)

 

[ROHAN]

Okay, I will give two suggestions regarding this:-

1- There should a separate 1st place award for each contest and a generic award to give to 2nd and 3rd places.

2- Ditch Cyan, replace it with Premium. Cyan is obsolete as Premium already has a Cyan glow and Premium gives you three glows and lots of other features. I think it would satisfy most people.

It's been more than a week, can we get a response?

We are working on something regarding awards and contests and we will try something different soon.
