Staff Discussion Thread - Open to All.

Good evening Fellows. After reading over the entirety of the the thread so far I do have a few thoughts.

The first is I love the added option to choose the Theme that best suits own own particular needs. Thank you Charles and Mrs. G for the incredibly timely solution.

The second would be Titles, Badges, rewards and positive reinforcement. I understand your points AiRen, when it comes to the human desire or need to categorize. It may be the odd workings of my slightly rearranged brain, but I'm not sure I feel quite right about the idea of essentially behavior modification by way of reward.

Cuervo mentioned earlier the idea of gamification. Perhaps a combination of fun and reward might suit. This could be in the form of little gifts that can be freely given by fellow Hernandos. Little emoticons and items like cookies or small gifs that represent applause as in actual hands clapping or waving hello. These little gifts and markers of milestones could be displayed or not depending on the desires of the member.

The third subject would be the single thumbs up above the posts. I like it. There is something simple and nice about seeing the names there. It has a more personal feel to it rather than an anonymous system of acknowledgment IMO.

Oh, and I kind of like the Mexican Military monikers, it's got a literary feel about it to me.
