The most active members on Caedes are ranked by their participation using the numbers generated by their “Comments,” their “Votes,” and their “Uploads.” And, this is fine in evaluating what the member has done, for his/her rank as active.

But I was wondering if the “Most Active Members” should also be reflective of other, “over and above” activities too. Maybe, have a combination of the personal achievements along with contributions made for the betterment of the site too. For example, “contributions to the discussion boards; nominations made to the AC; his/her work accepted to the Main Gallery; participation in the contests as a contributor, as a voter, as a winner; and selection as Artist of the Month.

These categories can highlight an activity made by our artists over a much longer time period. Thus, a compiled list of artists, who, through their actions, illustrate a higher set of standards and practices, for the continuation and advancement of the site.

I am sure, with more thought and attention given to this idea, more topics may be used as measurement tools and could be added to the list. And ones submitted above may be dropped. But, my thought here is to consider a concept which will give credit to those working in the best interest of the site and to encourage others to join in by showing them the connection of these categories with the elevation and growth of the site
