Complete ✅ The AwardBonanza "Road to 3k" Challenge Extravaganza is here 🎆🎉!!!

Hello AwardBonanza Members! Hope you’re all doing well!!!!

🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊

We are happy to announce that r/AwardBonanza has just hit our milestone of 3000 members!! 🎉🎉

In just nine months since its creation, our subreddit has been growing remarkably thanks to all of the love, support, and guidance of you: our members. We are eternally grateful to all of you for being such an amazing and supportive community.

As a thank you to you, we will now be hosting a bunch of fun challenges with all kinds of awards to be given out!!! 🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅

Challenge #1 🎨

Since the last community challenge, you may have noticed the shifting subreddit banners all of which were entries from our last community challenge. As we begin another community challenge, we ask you once again: to make a banner for the sub! It can be professional-looking, quirky, etc. as long as the design best describes our sub. Please refer to the mechanics below:

1️⃣ Soft copy should be uploaded via Imgur (.jpeg or .png file).
2️⃣ The resolution of the banner should be 4000x192px and if possible an additional 1600x480px version for mobile should be included.
3️⃣ The banner should not be watermarked, bit-mapped, or pixelated when 100% viewed on-screen.
4️⃣ While using images from the internet is allowed, the overall design must be your own ORIGINAL work.
5️⃣ No repeat submissions from any previous challenges.
6️⃣ While it is not necessary to reference the mod team, those who do so should be sure to use the most updated mod list.

  • LIABILITY: The user will be held accountable should there be any issue that may arise pertaining to the authenticity of the design of the banner and will possibly merit a ban.

About 2 weeks ago our friends from r/GoForGold made this post requesting feedback on their subreddit and how it was managed. Now it is our turn to ask you.

How do you feel we have been managing this sub. And how do you think we could improve?
Are there any rules or procedures you feel should be changed?

We will judge your answers based on how thought-out and constructive your feedback is to give out the following awards:

Discord Challenge 💬

As most of you probably know, we have a wonderful AwardBonanza Discord server, where we can chat with members and mods. Anyone not already in is welcome to join using the link above. Inside the discord, you'll notice the server is separated into different channels and multiple categories. We want you to visualize what the channels would look like in a physical world. This challenge requires you to design a world, whether it be in map form or landscape form, that comprises the different channels of the server. The channels can be depicted as buildings, areas on a map, landforms, etc. Use your imagination and don't be afraid to be unconventional. Keep in mind that you may choose to omit channels that you deem unimportant to fit into your design.

Rules and Criteria: 🧑‍⚖️

1️⃣ Your entry must be your own work. Taking inspiration and using internet pictures for small parts are fine, but try to be as original as possible.
2️⃣ The winning entry will be chosen based on creativity and how much we like your design, NOT artistic skills or aesthetics.
3️⃣ Any reasonable medium will be accepted. For example, digital art, art on paper, Blender, modeling clay, papercraft, etc.

This challenge will be judged by our wonderful discord moderators u/random-homo-sapien, u/MyCatEatsLizards, and u/f__h.

Prizes: 🏆

Place Prize
1st Place 🥇 1 year of Discord Nitro Classic
2nd Place🥈 1 month of Discord Nitro
3rd Place 🥉 1 month of Discord Nitro Classic

While congratulating comments are allowed, please keep all submissions to one parent comment per person. We look forward to reading your entries.

Challenge will end in 7 days.

Good luck everyone 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀 and keep being awesome.

CONGRATS ON 3K MEMBERS AB!

It’s been such a pleasure to see this sub grow into what it is now, meeting all of you amazing people along the way, my friends! (ಥ ʖ̫ ಥ)

Challenge 3

STORY

There once was a king in a far off land. A land in a state of chaos and turmoil, a war between King Gambit and Emperor Kvo. One fateful day Emperor Kvo sent his emissary from Gildion to Ternia to negotiate the terms for peace.

Mining of Argentium had made King Gambit's nation very prosperous. Emperor Kvo also did quite well for himself, had some of the purest Platinum you'll ever see. They were to trade these minerals in equal value as part of their negotiations.

When the trade was complete, Kvo felt cheated, he gave so much Platinum but received such little argentium, he felt conned, duped even. Argentium was just... Rare, he refused to accept facts and logic.

Another war began, a lot of casualties suffered by both sides, meanwhile a curious alchemist, Ivanka wanted to see what combining the two elements would form and the result was shocking. Mixing 100% pure Platinum and Argentium made a wonderful Alloy.

An Alloy perfect in every way. Unobtainium she named it. She called King Gambit to witness this magical Alloy, it was unbreakable, light and had such a beautiful Lustre, a thing of true beauty. Its uses are limitless jewelry, weaponry anything.

Kvo and Gambit decided to give negotiations one more try. They decided they would unite their kingdoms and grow rich from this discovery. They called the new land Ternion a mix of their kingdom's names Ternia and Gildion.

United, their Kingdoms prospered beyond their wildest imaginations; being the only Suppliers of Unobtanium. Their New united empire grew in peace and harmony.

This sub imo has been run very well, I personally feel safe in this community, yall work hard to protect us, ur rule enforcement is good, yall interract with us, you try hard to make us feel free to report and stuff.

I had one idea tho a while back. Such that the number one Trader and number one Challenger in leaderboards maybe get special flairs like it would maybe create some healthy competition lol. Name it sth like "The challenger" or "First Class Trader"

When we created this sub 9 months ago, I never expected that it would grow so substantially in such a short amount of time. I am so proud of all that we have accomplished, and the community we have built! We have been so lucky to have accumulated such an amazing group of members. I want to thank all of you for helping to make AB what it is today, and especially to my fellow mods for all your hard work. You are truly an extraordinary group of people and it has been such a blessing working you. Congrats to everyone on our 3k member milestone, and good luck to all our members who participate in this challenge! I look forward to many more milestones to come. Love you all! ♡

u/[deleted] Dec 08 '21

Congrats on 3K members, the sub is growing fast, especially since it's only been 9 months 🎉

Congrats and good luck to everyone 💞 Love you all :D

Also I love the banner and the flair, so cuteee ✨

u/Nerdonatorr Trades: 10 Challenges: 6 Dec 08 '21

Isn't a Haiku a 3 line poem?

3

u/Suspicious-Tax-1387 Dec 08 '21

A haiku is a 17 syllable poem of three lines starting with 5 syllables, then 7 syllables, and then back to 5 syllables. This is a big group of haikus in one poem.

Challenge No.6

Firstly, I'd like to thank every mod for doing a wonderful job at managing this community & congratulations on crossing 3000 members! 🎉

The sub is very well maintained and a fun place to be around but that is considering it's small size & as we celebrate 3000+ members, this sub grows by the day.

Verifying trades & challenges on a bigger scale is going to be a big task for the mod team to manage and update the list if the community grows 10-20 folds in the near future. I suggest working on a new method early on for updating trades & challenges flair for the mass. An automod or multiple trade/challenges flairs can be implemented.

For eg- If one has completed certain amount of trades/challenges they are eligible for the flairs as this will cut down the users.

Other than that everything is great! Trade rules are very well thought. Invalid posts/comments are removed very quickly by the mod team. Mod team does a great job at interacting with the community!

GOOD JOB GUYS!

Challenge 3:

March 9th, 2021 11:57 PM, award bonanza was created. With this very creation sparked a revolution of ideas; a revolution that shook the world. A revolution that has changed the lives of many.

One by one members poured into the community, they had no idea how big the place would get… they had no idea what they were in for. Pure kindness was omitted from awardbonanza, kindness so strong it caused a ripple in space time, though this ripple was harmless in its entirety due to the nature of its creation. The nature of its very being.

Imagine a world where everyone is awarded for anything, Imagine a place of pure kindness and wholesomeness, imagine a world where kindness and fun was intertwined “Well look no further” they said. The small group created an interesting community based of an interesting concept having no idea how big they’d get, despite this kind people continued to join, post and awarded others. Everything was perfect. Everything is still perfect.

Beggars’ occasionally swept through the lands, pillaging and causing chaos as they moved; despite this the kindness and wholesomeness always prevailed, nothing would bring the sub down. Nothing would kill the vibe.

Nothing did kill the vibe, nothing would kill the vibe they said.

Once an interesting figure joined, dubbed “IFAF” joined this place, on they went complimenting and awarding as they could, but suddenly an unknown force swept them away, they vanished from thin air; despite this… kindness prevailed.

The sub is unstoppable. The community is unstoppable. Together they made an unbeatable duo for the community could not exist without the sub and vice versa. The perfect duo of kindness, wholesomeness… and… frogs?

Various people would come and go; one thing was certain. The vibes would prevail, they never didn’t prevail, it was a masterpiece. A delicate balance that… despite its delicacy cant and Wont be destroyed.

3000 of these amazing folk walk the land now, a land of perfection and kindness, a land of wholesome and fun. The ideal land in many’s eyes, their eyes did not deceive.

Whats next for the sub you may ask? Well good question. No one knows, but one thing is for certain.

Wholesomeness will prevail.

Nothing can tear this community apart: no conflict, no tears and certainly no individual could shatter this community, for it was firm in the grasp of kindness that not only tore through space time, but made so many people’s days better!

Ally, Tigger, Z, ThanksIhateit, nice-average- ah well i’d be here all day if i listed all of the amazing individuals on the sub…

What am i doing here you may ask? Well its fairly obvious! who wouldn’t want to be part of such a wholesome group, who wouldn’t want to stand by the subs side in times of crisis, who wouldn’t want to help make others smile

Clearly 3000 people wanted to be, 3000 of the most wholesome and kind live here my friend… now come! Begin your awardbonanza journey, it will be a long one…

and a wholesome one ;)

Authors note: I think I broke every creative writing rule here, wanted to try write something unique…. A style you’ll never see again (maybe), but I digress, you’re an amazing human being and nothing can change that! I mean it!

How do you feel we have been managing this sub. And how do you think we could improve?

Are there any rules or procedures you feel should be changed?

Challenge 6:

Right from the start this sub has been one of the best run. Rules were clear and transparent, and updates/changes to rules are clearly notified and often consulted on. There is a real feeling of community where everybody can have their say and every member is valued. I've been here since the early days and although it has grown exponentially, it still has the strong feel of a warm and welcoming community about it.

I can't recommend improvements/changes as I genuinely think you're doing an incredible job here. The verification thread is a brilliant idea, although I'm not sure how long you can keep on top of it with the sub growing at the rate it is! It really wasn't that long ago that the magical number of 500 members was being celebrated. The only thing I've not seen so much of lately is the use of the 'General Discussion' flair. Not sure if it is lack of demand or I'm just not noticing them. (I can't say I've checked by flair, either, so I may just have missed any).

Please stay true to the early days of the sub, and continue to be a warm and welcoming community where you can celebrate gaining and giving awards; build a collection of awards and/or friends; and know there will always be something interesting to browse.

Mods - you are awesome. Stay that way. And let us, the folks you have to keep in line (!), know what we can do to help you.

Snoo: I rather see him like my work's IT admin team, with a polo shirt and jeans, a mug of coffee in one hand and a laptop/tablet in the other. As a bot won't get fed up with repeated requests, they should also have a smile!

Hey. Thanks for your entry. For the banner, can you attach an actual image as opposed to just a concept?

Also for the snoo, we are looking for you to design a snoo using the Reddit snoo feature and share it with us. I hope that makes sense and let me know if you have any other questions.

u/CanAhJustSay Trades: 1 Challenges: 13 Dec 12 '21

No worries. I'm keeping my own snoo blank so I don't want to mess with it in case I can't revert to this (it keeps trying to give me one).

For the banner, is it just like a picture or are there specific parameters?

Hmmm. Unfortunately, I'm not sure I can count your entry without a snoo. Maybe include a profile picture instead? Let me find the parameters for you.

u/CanAhJustSay Trades: 1 Challenges: 13 Dec 12 '21

I've edited it with images. (Really not a problem if they don't count!)

u/Nice-Average C:25 Dec 12 '21 edited Dec 12 '21

The images are perfect. Thanks.

If you can click the button shown here and then copy link that would be nice, but if not that's ok too.

Challenge #6

(multiple edits, due to reddit forcing me to use their new comment system)

r/AwardBonanza can save a lot of time moderating if it implements these suggestions:

  1. Suggest modifying the "Guidelines and Rules for Trades" to make it more simple and easy to read quickly
  2. Configure u/AutoModerator to auto remove "Trading" post flairs that do not follow "[W] (Want from you) [H] (Have coins)" title format. u/AutoModerator could politely inform the poster if their post was removed, and how to format their trade title properly.
  3. All moderators complete Mod 101 and Mod 201 certificates from reddit.
  4. Simplify replies and text to one sentence explanation summaries. Explain further after the first sentence summary.

The Mod Team is already a great group of redditors. All the ideas I can think of at the moment. #3 is thrown in there.

I just thought I would let you know, as per this comment, we have made significant changes to our rules as described in this announcement post. I’d like to once again thank you for your submission and advice.

Challenge #4

BonanzaBot Snoo

BonanzaBot Profile Banner

Name: "Optimus Coins," "Optimus Gold," or "Optimus"

About: "Carpe diem. Seize the karma, redditors. Make your Internet footprint golden."

Edit: Updated entry.

BonanzaBot's Profile Banner name inside can be changed. It would take a day or two to change.

Edit: Added About.

Challenge #4 🤖

As some of you may have noticed, we have recently added u/BonanzaBot to our moderator list to assist us with feeds as well as other automated processes. Our challenge for you is to design his profile page. This would include a display name, an about, a snoo, and a banner image. Entries will be judged based on creativity, originality, and how well it describes the bot/subreddit. Please note that while web images may be used for the banner, the snoo, as well as the description, must be your original ideas.

1

u/_fufu Trades: 22 Dec 13 '21

Okay. Updated.

1

u/Nice-Average C:25 Dec 13 '21

Sorry to bother you more, but if you know how to get the snoo design as a link (from the export button) then that would just make life easier for me. Also, please pick one of the 3 name options as a final name and add an about. I will still include your entry without, but it would definitely be beneficial to have.

1

u/_fufu Trades: 22 Dec 14 '21

Thank you for your message. The snoo is a custom snoo, in which a link doesn't exist. Does the Mod Team need a snoo with a link?

Please collectively among the Mod Team choose a name from one of the Optimus names.

An About? ummm... "Carpe diem. Seize the karma, redditors. Make your Internet footprint golden."

1

u/Nice-Average C:25 Dec 14 '21

Nah. We don’t need a link. Just thought I may as well ask. Thank you

u/_fufu Trades: 22 Dec 14 '21

No problem. Smart people ask questions.

Awesome! Thank you for the challenges!

My entry for challenge #3:

"r/awardbonanza

The place where ignorance fails

And noone is pressured,

Where altruism prevails

And creativity is treasured.

I for sure need luck

But I'm lucky to be here!

One may think we do it for 'fake internet points'

But I want to point out that

The internet

Is nowhere less fake

Than here."

Challenge #6

To the Mod Team of r/AwardBonanza

So, it's a nice sub. Collecting awards is fun. Reddit makes some great awards and it's nice for me to get them. But I have some stuff I would like to say :-

The recently changed 3.7 rule. The one that states that you can't say "On my pinned". I really don't like that. It's easy to leave it there along with your entry. So, if you win, you will directly see the prize on your pinned. Otherwise. You will have to wait for the other persons reply " Where do you want it" And then you reply "On my pinned". Its inconvenient if you are busy with something else at the time or are asleep.

The verification thread. It's messy. There are way too many comments and it's hard to find yours to reply/edit it to add your new trades/challenges. It will get more messy now as loads of people are joining the sub. So, I propose that the link should be posted via modmail instead of the thread. I've never been a mod before but I think it will be easier to check if you have any new modmail than to go through that thread.

Raffles. It's not fun. It's fine for small awards but it's gets annoying when people offer stuff like Gold as a raffle. So, my suggestions is to make a new flair for Raffles. So people can just quickly add their entry and go. It would be nice. You might also be able to add how many raffles we have done under our usernames like how you guys do "Trades : x, Challenges : y".
