Anita Pomerantz | 9296 comments I wanted to announce a couple of small changes.

Participation points will now be tallied at the end of the month. Because of the new structure here at Goodreads, it will be difficult to tally mid-month right before the vote. This change shouldn't cause a big impact. I'm going to do January's shortly, and then February's will be tallied at month end. Going forward, points will be tallied at month end.

We also wanted to announce a small change to the voting. Right now, we offer three tag choices for which you may vote. Whichever one had the most votes has been announced as the winner. Going forward, we want to require that the tag choice receive 50% or more of the votes cast. If a tag does not receive that, the voters who selected the third place tag will be asked to recast their votes for one of the top two. I think this will better represent the overall wishes of the membership in terms of the tag selection.

Please let me know if you have questions about either of these items.

Anita Pomerantz | 9296 comments Also, IF your name is displaying as something different than your Shelfari name, PLEASE leave me a note in this thread, so I make sure to attribute your participation points to you. I'm definitely a little unclear on a few people (though I have good guesses!)

My Shelfari name was ~*Kim*~, I'll have to see if I can update that on here.

Anita Pomerantz | 9296 comments Shelfarians,

Here is a link to our participation points spreadsheet. It is updated through the end of January.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...

It is still organized by your Shelfari name. If you have a different Goodreads name, I've denoted that next to your Shelfari one.

I feel like I have not linked some of the Shelfari and GR names. If you see you have two lines in the spreadsheet - - one for Shelfari and one for GR, please alert me!

Karin | 9245 comments Yes, I like this part about at least 50 percent :)!

Kristel (kristelh) | 699 comments Seems like a good change. I am the same Kristel both places. Same picture too. Checked out my participation points and looks like I better start voting.

Works for me!

I was Becky C on Shelfari, and I see a Becky on the spreadsheet, but I'm not sure if that's me or not. I have the same avatar as on Shelfari, as well. Just a heads up! ;)

annapi | 5505 comments Like the 50% change. I went from annapi to annapi23 only because I thought someone else had the name already, but I just now discovered that I can change my ID name, so I'm back to just plain annapi here on GR also!

So, you haven't been Anna on here at all, annapi? I thought that might be you, but maybe not . . .

Becky,

That's you in the spreadsheet!

message 13: by annapi (new)

annapi | 5505 comments Anita, yes that was probably me. I was a little confused about how GR doesn't post the IDs, only the first name, so now what I have done is just put annapi as my first name and not filled in the middle or last name in my profile. If anyone can tell me how to fill those in but have my name show up as "annapi" in posts, please let me know!


message 14: by Diane (new)

Diane Zwang | 485 comments Hi Anita, My Shelfari name was Cafe Mom and now I am Diane Zwang on Goodreads.


message 15: by Lisa (new)

Lisa (spirolim) | 178 comments I think you already know this Anita, but just in case, I used to be spirolim on Shelfari, but now it's just Lisa Spiro.


message 16: by Brandy (new)

Brandy (romansgirl) | 87 comments Sounds good! Thank you so much to all of you that work so hard to keep this group going. I've been a member for a year now and I honestly would not have made the move over to Goodreads if it weren't for this group.

Thanks Lisa and Cafe Mom for sharing your new names! There's a lot of people to track, and it is slightly confusing!!

What you are doing now works perfectly for me! I just wanted to make sure I correctly attributed "Anna's" points to you.

I see you did! Easy for me :)


message 21: by Jenni Elyse (new)

Jenni Elyse (jenni_elyse) I think this is a great idea. I hope to be a better participant in the future. I was really active in 2009 before participation points were a thing and then kind of dropped off. But, I'm excited to get back into it again and earn me some points.

So glad you are back, Jenni! I love seeing some returning members from long ago.
