I propose a new area on the bakery (perhaps under account) where every day a random active baker (e.g. anyone with more than 30 ideas who has posted or voted in the last month) is chosen, and this area shows say 3 of their ideas every time the page is refreshed.

Defeating my own logic in the process, I'd like to propose [hippo] as the first recipient of this random honour.

Would this random feature be displayed near the "random" button?
-- UnaBubba, Feb 24 2006


I was proposing that on a given day only one halfbaker's ideas are displayed, and that the short name for the idea (rather than just a link to the 'bakers' name) is displayed.
-- neilp, Feb 24 2006


ok, I've done a picture now (see link).
-- neilp, Feb 24 2006


Pssst. It's about the ideas.
-- bristolz, Feb 24 2006


Thanks [neilp]. I'd better vote [+] for your idea now.
-- hippo, Feb 24 2006


Oh look! It's another personality promotion pitch.
-- UnaBubba, Feb 24 2006


What about 'baker of the week' (or for the other decile, 'baker of the weak')?

...and the cuddliest goes to...<insert drumroll>

What [bris] whispered.

Even so, why a minimum of 30 ideas? Why not anyone who has posted ideas? [johng] has 2 to his name and one of them is regarded as the best idea here by a long shot.

What bris said. Fishbone.
-- DrCurry, Feb 24 2006


I think you're limiting it too much with the recent posting requirement and minimum number of ideas.
-- ato_de, Feb 26 2006


As it won't be me again for another few thousand days, I can remove my [+] vote now.
-- hippo, Feb 26 2006


But it's random - it could be you every day for the next few years.

Damn! Beaten by Tom Baker again.

Unless it's always me, in which case [+].

Tom Baker! Will you *please* stop phoning me!
-- zen_tom, Feb 28 2006


I think that any baker with any number of ideas should be able to get in the drawings. I don't have all that many ideas but it doesn't mean I'm not an active member. Although I would understand making sure that inactive accounts have a certain number of ideas. Don't want a week of people who only ever made up one poor idea.
-- PollyNo9, Mar 02 2006


Psst, Polly, if you want to be included in the drawings, send a $100 in unmarked bills to the address below, and I'll make sure you're included!
