Ok everyone so here it is, the final bill to pass before we're back to being almost completely operational as the NGDD again. Everyone ready? I sure am.
1.) Rewards are handed out ONLY based by performance. This can be by participation in-club and by
extra-curricular duties that you can notify a Dept Head about.
Rewarding by stats is improper because you would have to reward a member twice - once for the competition/mission/whatever and once for the stat itself. There is no point for that.
The act of posting alone isn't always a positive contribution to NG. Nor is the total B/P figure. All a level shows is a commitment to vote on 5 submissions a day.
I am not saying people with high stats have done nothing positive for NG, but the essence of the DOD is about helpfulness and this is something a stat does not show.

Every month a general XR is given of 20 for all members. Longer standing members get a bonus of 10 per 6 months.
For example a member who has joined for 7 months with no other bonus to their rank would have
(6 x 20) + (1 x30) = 120 + 30 = 150, which is the rank of Corporal
Department heads hold higher responsibility in the club and so will be given more for their efforts.
The base for this amount is 40, and will still be +10 for every 6 months.
Note that the remade member list will have the day of joining (the DOD) for all NG DOD members for ease of calculating this number. Older members will be paid according to their latest rate.
* * * * * * * * * * *
How to make the initial total number for older members will be very difficult I know.
Months of inactive service will not be paid for. Absence for any long duration without
explanation will require you to start at the base (20) XR rate again (as a new member).
If reasonable explanation is made, you can resume your normal rate.
There has to be an agreed number on how much older members should be rewarded. I think this has to be worked out between the IA and the members themselves. This may cause some difficulty, but I think it is a simple problem that can be overcome with patience.
Some things that can be given as "bonus" XR to members (current and new);
NG Moderator = 1000 XR
Making a "major" contribution to the club = 300 XR or varies
Hosting a competition = 100 XR
Making and monitoring a 'mission' = 80 XR
Maintaining the NG-DOD list = combined 50 XR (if more than one person assists the number is divided)
A major contribution to NG = 400 -800 XR
A department head get a one-off bonus of 3000 XR (2nd Lt.), but if they leave the bonus is revoked. This is to help the leaders maintain a higher rank. When they leave the post they also get paid the same as a normal member.

This method seems confusing on how many points to give to active members. It is meant to be a system you report your deeds and then they are added onto your rank.
IT IS NOT THE DEPARTMENT HEAD'S JOB TO CONSTANTLY LOOK AT YOUR PROFILE OR POSTS!
You do something noteworthy - report it.
I will make an example of a member (chose this name randomly from the NG DOD list on the forum)
andrea364
A member for about 4? (I may be wrong - apologies if I am) months, so as a base XR rating she would have;
(4 x 40) = 80
So if andrea364 has done anything she feels that has added to NG as a whole she can tell her dept head about it and see if it is approved. At the end of the month her stats will be updated by the list keeper.

You et departmental ranks by your departmental XR only. This is also how you rank up in your department. Then add up all your XR on NG and that is your NGDD rank. With 1800 total XR and 1200 Dept XR you would be a Distinguished First Lieutenant.
3.)We just simply have contests. If you look back to the old NGDD pages there were things like "missions" for opportunities to rank up through the club. life gave me an example of this a long time ago so I'm going to use his. A higher ranking member posts up a Mission like "By Wednesday everyone has to get 10 bps and 10 Reviews, mission worth 5 XR." Everyone who does the mission gains XR. Some missions will have XR penalties for not doing it, but most won't.
The other way to gain XR is through contests obviously. This way members don't have to worry about stat whoring all the time to try and get enough posts for XR points or bps or anything like that, instead things like missions are almost requiring them to be active and constantly checking the club for new missions.
In regards to current members, we'll all be given a set amount of XR so that everyone isn't starting all over again as equals with 0 points. Department Heads will obviously get a decent amount, as will admins, but members of departments will gain a medium amount, and members on probation or just coming out will obviously get a smaller amount.
Yea, this may have flaws, but I'm throwing down my idea. It's simple and we don't have to worry about anything too ridiculous, and it's an easier job on the listkeeper than calculating XR for every single member every week.
