Hi,
I think charles gave a good explaination, as for me if u dont break the shell, how do you know the contents look like, and how you break this shell is up to you, and the purposes to do competition is not for rewards, its about how u exposes your best idea in planning to be acceptable by others members which from diferent countries, company but if there is a rewards , what we going to loose...it is bonus. Maybe some of us can continue study o get PMP Cert, P3e / c courses or buy P3e / c software, vacation etc
Hello Chris,
I share your idea. And this is only one school of thinking.
Another thinking maybe "Competition brings out the best, for PP members also to be the best ever".
Some members who share ideas in PP dont need rewards. Maybe they only want to be recognize in their effort and how it helps others improve their planning skills and their whole life as a whole.
And others really needs the rewards.
The point is we are exploring ways on how to bring out the best from each members of PP.
We do need guidelines on how to work this out to have a fair playing field.
Cheers,
Charlie
Hi People,
Im with Shahzad on this one. The strength of PP is that its members share knowledge with each other without thought of reward. Simply to help other planners get better at what they do. I believe that linking to some sort of "prize" for doing this would tend to make people forget the reason that Planning Planet exists, to share information and to help solve problems.
There is a risk that some form of reward could jeopardise the freedom with which the members give of their time and knowledge. By all means introduce some sort of rating system on the various threads if it is thought that this could be useful; but lets not lose sight of why PP was set up, to share information and knowledge without thought of personal gain.

Most commercial forum software allows members to rate threads so that members can see how the community feels about them. Perhaps the PP could implement something like this.
Also, most commercial forum software allows moderators/administrators to "sticky" important threads so that they always appear at the top of the list of topics/threads.

Hi Charles
Just an idea lah, let say If there is a competition, why not? Just try to find sponsor like Gary France from PEO(or other company), I think he intrested to find calibre planner and try to find best idea of "THE MAking of BEST SCHEDULE". Using SPIDER, P3 /e /c , MSP, Artemis, etc
Hello Raja, Hello Shazad,
There will be no competition for best idea of the week, month or year.
The idea is to develop interest by acknowlegement of the best idea. The voting is more on each member acknowledgment of the best idea because it help him or her in career development, enlightenment on the ways and methodology of planning, etc.
It is also to show gratitude to the expert that offer their opinion, ideas etc, for free.

shahzad, yes i can see the numbers of members quiet impress, but not for long, what i mean here PP needs to attract PPers for long term to contribute and use PP like using contract/dictionary without bored looking for info. Most of the neww PPers Just come and go like that, after they have what they wanted,The Question is How we going attract new PPers to be like You, Bill, Philip Charles, Vladimir, Alex (the most name i can remember) ?
Hi Raja
New members have already been attracted to this site as they learn P3 course or equivalent planning course (refer Planning members list of any country) and happy to become member of this forum.
So such things does not impressive or attractive. We should establish more specific threads on planning issues to expand its circulation.
Hi,
Actually this idea is very good, to attract new members, and to show the post is valueable and the idea how we interact among PPers to resolve and come out with solution.
No competition in respect of best thread of week or month.
Its public Forum so share your knowledge at your best for the benefits of all PP members
Each posting already reflects the extent of your knowledge so no top or down just carry on.
I forgot the subject.
Is it possible for PP admin to place the subject.
Best Idea of the week, months and year.

charlie
Hi Philip,
Nice to hear from you.
I agree with your suggestion.
Sometimes this happen: the mind is faster than the hand or the hand is faster than the mind.
In planning, it could be both.
cheers,
charlie
I think you are the postee of the subject and as such if you forgot it you deserve the worst punishment in the world, ie let/s have some suggestions. Any planner who forgets should be fired.
