We need a busted "contest"

[UntamedRose]

One for folks caught doing good stuff, outside of PIF........
like IDK if yall have noticed.
DC2 has been haunting the new members forum for the past few, trying to get each and every one of them to sign the petition. Keep seeing him doing this.
http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/new-members-forum/95540-what-best-e-cig.html

Also seen a few PIFer's....PIFing outside of PIF but wont say whom right this second.

Think we could work something out for stuff like this?

I've seen DC2's actions as of late. I think it's a great thing he's doing. Most new members are just learning about e-cigs and have no idea what's going on with different states, the FDA, etc.

A contest could be a good idea but I have a strong feeling a lot of PIF-ing outside of this subforum goes on in PM's.

well for those PM PIF's we could have the recipients "expose" their generous counterparts. Kind of like we do in the "positive feedback" thread.

 

[wisteelersfan]

Alot of those that do our PIF's via PM would prefer to keep it private. I don't think "exposing" them would make the giver very happy. Just my opinion, but I for one know if I ask someone not to make a big deal/mention what I give them, or say it's between just us. I'd be personally upset to see it out in the open.

Good point! That thought never occured to me as I've never asked someone not to mention it. Outside of this subforum, I any PIF-ing I do is via pm's because it's an offer to that person and it avoids headaches from other people.

well, how about just nominating a member as being active outside of pif without going into details?

for instance, i could nominate karrmcdebt or mick11 but i don't have to give details.

steelersfan, would that be acceptable, do you think?
it would be nice if people who always seem to be giving also end up on the receiving end occasionally

 

[wisteelersfan]

I'm not one to ask about things being acceptable. I'm too easy going. I just offer my opinion. I know that like several other past and present PIF members, I don't need anything and rarely want anything either. I just prefer to share the good blessings the universe has provided me with. And when I do need or want something I put a post up. For me personally, I'd feel bad if I were to receive something because I've been in a spot to offer generosity to others, when there are other people that could use what I was given far more than me. But that's just my own personal situation. If everyone that's been on the receiving end of one of my generous feelings would turn around and do the same thing, I'd be more than happy. That being said, I'd just suggest caution in putting people out there that may be doing their gifting privately for whatever reason. If they publicly post that they're helping that's another matter. IMO

marty's points are well made and have steered me in the opposite direction
busted contest ... not such a good idea
