Hey Clerks Nation,
As you know, and many have participated in, we started doing Fun Friday Contests weekly. It has been a hit and a lot of fun. The problem I am running into is it is very difficult to come up with ideas for the contests. Obviously we have to make it hard to cheat but we don't want it to require a lot of effort either.
I would love to hear suggestions from the Clerks Nation for some new ideas. Let me know what you think.
Edit: fun friday contests are down for sometime.

These type of things will not only make people browse trough all their feedbacks & recommendations, but it should be "a lure" to make sellers work even harder since they'll never know if you'll be having the same contest. Buyers could of course participate in these contests too, with their feedbacks / recommendations they have given a seller earlier. I believe this could help sellers to get feedbacks too, since buyers might be interested in participating in such contest further on too.. If you decide to have another go with it.
Other suggestions:
-Oldest member, Oldest sale & purchase, First Affiliate, Most affiliates etc. But you shouldn't have any huge prizes for those kind of things, but it could be some sort of "bonus", just to "give something extra back" to the users.
You could also have something like, "most likes on forum posts". Should be very easy to spot cheaters and it'll make people more engaged in the forum.. (Probably?)
Well, that's just a couple of things that comes to mind right now. I'll keep this in mind and add other suggestions later.

hitmeasap You could have something like, "[I]the best positive feedback on a service[/I]", and it must be 10 days old or something. Should be easy to spot cheaters with that kind of criteria. Another suggestion could be, "[I]the best recommendation[/I]", with the same kind of rule like the feedback. 10 days old.
