    Suggestion:
    To provide a "Voting Gold Medal" for the top voter in each month.
    Reason:
    I think that adding this medal would encourage active voters to go for it, and as a result vote more for the server so that it can appear higher up on voting websites. It's also something for medal collectors to go for if they were never #1 in voting before.
    Other Information:
    I'd like to see it retroactively applied, so that the former top voters would be rewarded.
    Link to this plugin/Is this a custom addition?:
    Same one that you use for medals, Xenforo-based I'm sure.

    We already have the forum voting medal, but a new medal for the top spot would be nice.

    -1 The voting medal is enough. No point in adding 10000000 more medals (Just a slight exaggeration :p).

    Hmm... I know someone who might be interested in this... :cool:

    In all seriousness though, I'm not sure. It may provide incentive for some people, but isn't $50 USD (or about 300k ECD) enough already...? Plus, for people who can't get the time to vote, this'd be practically impossible to get. After all, only 12 medals per year, maybe even less if people repeat at the #1 slot (hehe) would be handed out.

    While this surely would be a fun medal, I'm just undecided. ±0

    As a person who has been the top voter of a month before, I would be sad if this was implemented and I had to do it again to receive the medal. :p So if this was added users who have met the requirements in any prior month should still be eligible for the medal in my opinion :)

    In my opinion this would be a great add on and another medal for medal collectors to strive for.
    However, the work that would need to go into looking at previous voting winners over the past 6 or so years would be a big job which I do not think is absolutely necessary. Perhaps it could be applied to future #1 voters?

    Internet archive. :p

    We have all the vote winners since last September... before that, either the Internet Archive, or there's gotta be some way that the past winners were logged...

    If that is the case perhaps so.
    I am not sure whether this is something that has been logged.
