CraptacularOne

As for me, I sometimes think that my well known manner of being ...err shall we say, blunt? Sometimes gives off the wrong vibe to what I'm trying to say. A case in point was Tweaked thinking I was being sarcastic. This is something that I have tried to address in the wording of my posts but somehow seems to monumentally fail at the desired effect. No where in the whole thread was I being argumentative, more so being inquisitive.

Messages/suggestions are always received differently, according to the person's mood or emotions per say.  This is a flaw in the human mind.  Moving along.

Good job Crap. You do deserve the BR's. See, you went from 86 to 92 BR's faster than I've ever seen here before. You might seem a little brash at times, but you have alot of respect from alot of us here. Congrats, and keep up the good work.

I know I can be blunt, but I'm really not a bad guy once you get to know me

Hey there, I gave this user some information about TRIM and how to bypass the degradation it gives to an OCZ RevoDrive since I had just researched them when I was considering a purchase, it seems to have helped him out, and as I've never gotten a blue ribbon, maybe this will earn me my first, thanks.

Nicely done!  BR awarded.  Congrats on your first.

Thank you so much Tweaked! 

I will nominate my own thread.

 EVGA's Cooler Master case thread!  
My Girls Love EVGA!  
The Sexy HW thread!  

You got one in your "Girls love EVGA" thread
 
I think the Coolermaster deserves one though as it's a nice build.
 
And while were on the subject of rigs, how about my thread of past and present rigs?
 
http://forums.evga.com/tm.aspx?m=860945

When it comes to MOD rigs... We will look at each individual build. Yes I know a thread here and there has gone hog wild with BR's, but Management has asked us to cool off on those as some folks are getting 2 or three or even 4 BR's for the same build because they post in each thread.
 
That is not to say they are not worthy, but we also have to be fair to those that do not, and get upset with us as they think we are promoting favoritism.
 
@ everyone in general.... Again. The BR program is about members helping members. Sometimes we will go outside of that in a feel good or what have you thread.
 
It is not about what "YOU" think is BR quality. It is what "OTHERS" think is... Make since? BR's (AKA Scooby Snacks) must maintain a value or the program could be terminated. And we do not want that right?!?!?!?!
 
If you make a post expecting to get a BR... You will just get madder and madder @ all of us. Because we do not see everything, and frankly.... Most posts that are written with a BR desire in mind are not as helpful as those that are actually helping are... But if you go out of your way to help a member and get one... Is that not of more value? Think about it...

EVGA's Cooler Master case thread!  
My Girls Love EVGA!  
The Sexy HW thread!  

OK... These are not BR quality threads man. I even stretched it by giving you one in the second link when you brought to out attention the new EVGA gaming shirts...

You're getting closer... But these are not it *Waves hand and repeats*....

If I don't get one for my Cool Master case thread than everybody in this thread should not get one ether http://forums.evga.com/tm.aspx?m=822802 IMO!

That and one other thread is what management has mentioned and asked us to calm down on...

Keep in mind the BR program changes all the time. As it recently has. Many of Craptacular's and I's BR's have been earned during different criteria when it was VERY hard to get BR's. Some also when it was easy.

Come on folks.. We WANT to give out BR's. Do you not think since I have the second most BR's on the forum, and as a MOD I have gotten four in the last seven months... That I have a pretty good idea of what is and is not a BR quality post cut and dry?

All I got to say is some people get BR's for the stupidest stuff & others that do promote EVGA & care about the forums get carped on all the time from BR's to contests!

I cannot disagree. Like the one I gave you for telling us about the new EVGA shirts. Falls right in there does it not?
 
You have a very high amount of BR's. So you too have a good grasp on what it takes.
 
That is one of the messages we are trying to help deliver. We WANT to give them out to those that have gone above and beyond.
 
Think of it like this... If you "Deserved" a speeding ticket but no Officer saw it, do you go to an Officer and say you earned one and please give it to me?
 
I can personally say I have in my mind earned far more BR's than I have. But I learned early on to not make posts looking for or hoping or anticipating to get a BR. But when I do get one it is VERY gratifying... I also know for a fact countless members here have as well. But I was not a MOD then. I am now.
 
Also SBB... Please know this. I thought on this for weeks before starting this thread. And decided I needed to as a way to help inform folks of what we look for and hopefully remove some of the false perceptions. And lets be honest. We as MODs are human too. It never hurts to see what others think is a BR quality post and improve on our own ideas of what BR quality posts are.
 
So keep up the good work and stay your course. I have no doubts you will earn many more BR's n your time here
