Lightbulb Odd idea
I got an odd idea for a contest at FG...while talking to my friend on the phone.

What is your thought on "Be an Admin for a day" & "Be a Super Mod for a day" type of contest? It would be something totally different.

Well it sounds great. But you never know what anyone might do ?
Can this be a very trustful contest?

Just make a backup of the database and have an admin watching the logs all day. How much harm can someone possibly cause? ;)

Yes, backups are always a must! Possibly, like benjamin said, it can be moderated (heavily). We have logs and can allow/disallow permissions too.

Idk was just a thought

Im off to bed now ...later everyone!

Why to make a website unavailable for sometime until the backups are rolled up?
Why to compromise the reputation of the website for a Contest?

Well then whats the use of making the winner a ADMIN for a day?

Instead a contest wherein the user would be promoted to a special Rank or Just one day "Moderator" would sound good.

Have a good sleep Sarahlee. ;)

I am afraid I would have to disagree. If you were to run a competition like this you would have to have a trusted admin on all the time checking over the logs like I stated. One step out of line and wham! No more admin status. Besides, putting a backup up can take a matter of minutes.

I agree. But seems kinda risky to me. If Sarahlee really wants this contest to be done. Then this should be a really big contest.

You are probably right. I personally don't think that it will encourage people to be active anyway. You wont really have any power. Basically it is just an unpaid job.
