A Quotes Award?

I've noticed on this website that it mostly revolves around poems. Why is it salled poems and QUOTES if most people disregard reading/voting on/ writing quotes? So, I was thinking we could have some kind of quotes award, like we do with the poetry one?

30+ Quotes with a rating of 4.3
50+ quotes with a rating of 4.3
75+ quotes with a rating of 4.3

Then, you could have the top rated quotes in each category, like we do with the poems. Anyone else think this is a good idea?

yeah, i've realized a LOT of the quotes on here are in fact, plagerized.

then surely they should be deleted along with the poems that are copied ... ?

i do think the quotes award is a good idea ... it is nice to read some really decent quotes, but because it's given little attention i often forget about the quotes, sadly ...

but i agree, it is called poems and quotes ... so i say more emphasis on the quotes than is currenlty there ...

yep.. i'm all for it. agree with you guys... this IS poems and QUOTES. neat idea

the problem with "plagerized quotes" is that it is extremely hard to tell whether or not someone has said anything similar to what you deem "your" quote. In any case, I think there should be a minimum #of votes per quote before you are eligible for an award. People could just spit out 30 quotes (crappy ones aren't hard to make up, and most people don't read them), and vote 5's on all of them. Seems silly.

i think a minimum of seven votes ... if the quotes were given a similar status to the poems, i think it could really take off ... however this whole idea that could come from this would be a very large addition to site, it would take some careful thought if people do want the quotes to be recognised as much as the poems, while i feel they deserve more recognition, i'm not sure as much as the poems ... i don't know. it would be interesting to see what other people come up with on this idea ...

Yeah, there should be a minimum # of votes, 6 or 7. Maybe the quotes won't be recognized as much as the poems, but definatly more than they are now.

Plus, when you click on quotes at a certain category, we should at least be able to sort them in some way, by rating, dtae, or other means.

anyone else have an idea to allaborate on, or object to this one?
