>>>>The first part of the proposal is to revise how awarding of the PUTM is determined. There would be an establishment of a minimum number of points needed to qualify for a random drawing at the end of each month for the 3 months free PUTM. The proposal is, that to qualify for the raffle, a member needs at least 50 total points.

>>>I don't see any reason for changing existing system in this respect. The PUTM should be awarded to the people who earned most points. You cannot compensate a weakness of the point system itself (what's implied by this suggestion) by random drawing for PUTM award.

>>The problem is not all solutions are marked. So this puts those who post enough solutions to qualify for the top 5 out of the top 5 because their replies are not marked. Maybe the solution providers should be more forceful and click the Force link at the bottom of their message, but some just do not want to do that for whatever reason.

>>I love the intent of the system, it is the application of it that bugs many members.

>Everyone has equal oportunity on UT to earn points and at the same account everyone has solutions that wasn't marked because of whatever reason. People have a chance to fix it by clicking link Force message to be marked as solution and help other in further searches. By not doing that they impede ability of other members to find solution faster. I don't see why UT shoud encourage that bechavior.

BTW, can I suggest UT "black mark" for a members who ask a lot questions and never provide any feedback on help received? Just kidding ... :) maybe not :)
