I am hereby forming the Anti Awarding Yourself Barnstars or Telling (No, Wait, Politely Asking) Other People to Give You Barnstars and Barnstars for Set Arbitrary Criteria Society. Or the AAYBTNWPAOPGYBBSACS for short.
Anyone who wants to participate in a useless society that does nothing, has no aims and will achieve nothing, please leave a comment. Note that the ANWPAOPGYBBSACS is in favour of barnstars awarded by people other than the awardee because that person actually felt the awardee deserved one.
This is from the same people as the last request.
Mind posting the text? it’s off limits.
I’m unable to change the details on this comment.
Wooo, got politely asking (as that’s what it is, nobody has to give you anything but can if they feel like you deserve it) instead of telling
*starts the AANWPAOPGYBBSACS which is against this group*
It’s a nine page long forum thread.
The general discussion is the awarding of barnstars for set criteria, and indeed awarding them to yourself when you meet said criteria. I disagreed and said I felt they should only be awarded by others, because they felt that you earnt it. Not because there’s a sign saying so. This was compounded by the addition of a thread in which to tell (no, wait, politely ask) others to give you barnstars.
This post was prompted by the following:
Well, Faz.
The Purpose of a barnstar is to “reward Wiki(pedia) contributors for hard work and due diligence”.
If you, on your personal Schome wiki have turned barnstars into something else, i suggest you edit the barnstar page to say so.
Good Day.
