Hello! So I’ve been thinking a lot about how our current monthly contest format works, and if there should be changes made. Ultimately this is your state as much as it is mine, so I wanted to see what you guys thought as well!

 So the format that we’ve been following for as long as I’ve been here is that there is a thread for theme suggestions, a thread for the poll, and then a thread for the contest. This means three new threads every month. As SM I can only give gifts for the 20 most recently created threads. This includes any threads created in the “fashion and forum contest” section, and “Atheista town hall”.  

 The biggest problem that this poses for me, is the birthday thread. Each senator term is 4 months, so that would mean that each term there would be 12 new threads plus any discussions in town hall, extra contests, and any threads made in the fashion and forum contests section. Eventually the birthday thread is going to be pushed down and I (or future SMs) would have to create a new thread, which seems excessive to me, or find a different thread to use for the gifts. I like putting the gifts in the birthday thread because it gives me one place to put everything, and also people who have bookmarked it can see who’s birthday it is and then wish them a happy birthday. I’ve seen your comments wishing people a happy birthday and it’s super sweet to see!!  

 Here’s what I’m thinking of doing: we could have a running thread that will stay open, full of theme suggestions. Whichever comment has the most likes will be the theme for that month, and then that theme would basically be taken out of the running, and the next most liked theme would be the winner for the month. If all the themes end up being used, I could just come up with something on my own (hopefully that wouldn't have to happen though)

 Anyway I just wanted to hear some opinions before changing the way we do things :) Do you like things the way they are? Is the running theme suggestion thread a good idea? Do you have other ideas? Am I making a bigger deal than I need to out of this? (very possible lol) let me know what you think :) thanks for listening to my rambling! Love you guys <3

This is a pretty interesting idea! In the "theme thread" will it always be open for adding new themes or will it be closed after a certain amount of themes have been suggested, then reopened when those are all used? Like whenever someone has a theme idea we can just add it in? just asking for clarification <3

Sounds like a great idea :) I do have a question. If someone suggests a theme for a past month and it doesn't get picked but was mentioned in the discussion, is  it still considered for the new monthly contest or would someone have to re-comment it? 

I had a hard time wording that question clearly so lmk if that didn't make sense LOL

It would still be considered for the following months without needing to re-comment :)
