| Dec 6, 2022 at 12:33 | comment | added | Matthieu | While I was enthusiastic about the idea at first, this kind of hall of fame will indeed push some people to "go for the funny" when making bounty messages, which, while it is nice and fun once in a while, defeats the point if it happens too often. So as much as I like the original idea, it doesn't seem like it'd work with how bounty messages are supposed to be, and how that would influence them. | |

| Dec 2, 2022 at 21:38 | comment | added | Eddymage | @doppelgreener You're right, I skipped "the community" when I read the description. Indeed, I thought that before being published this question would have been in a sort of "embargo", waiting for mods' approval. Anyway, I understand your concerns, I will let the community decide via the closing/leave–open votes. | |
| Dec 2, 2022 at 17:40 | comment | added | doppelgreener | @Eddymage The just-for-fun tag says that the mods and community must approve the post. In fact, it says they must approve it before posting, which didn't happen. In any case: here I am, part of the community, voicing my disapproval and explaining my concern. This hall of fame is still a form of incentive; I am not talking about system incentives. | |

| Dec 2, 2022 at 16:09 | comment | added | Eddymage | @doppelgreener I understand your concern, but since you do not get any badge, rep bonus or any other gamification from the SE site by entering in this hall of fame, I don't think that there will be any disruption in the bounty message entries. Anyway, the [just-for-fun] tag requires that the mods have to check if the question is good for meta: if they decide that it is not so, that' s fine for me! | |
| Dec 2, 2022 at 16:03 | comment | added | doppelgreener | I’m voting to close this question because establishing a bounty message hall of fame will have a detrimental effect & incentivise behaviour that is not necessarily desirable for people to pursue. | |
| Dec 2, 2022 at 16:02 | comment | added | doppelgreener | I am not sure this collection is a good idea. The presence of this hall of fame incentivises people to begin using their bounty messages specifically to seek entry into this hall of fame, rather than just writing the bounty messages they otherwise would. That's ... possibly a detrimental effect. I would advocate just letting the good ones be fun & ephemeral jokes that will vanish away again soon after. | |

| Dec 2, 2022 at 15:26 | comment | added | Eddymage | @ThomasMarkov I must admit that yours were the inspiration of this question! But I did not know that using such queries allows to recover all the messages | |
| Dec 2, 2022 at 15:25 | comment | added | Eddymage | @nitsua60 Didn't know it! Actually, I recall some messages but I don't remember on which questions they were put on... | |
| Dec 2, 2022 at 15:23 | comment | added | Thomas Markov | This SEDE query allows you to search by user ID. Here's my list, there's some goofy ones in there. | |
| Dec 2, 2022 at 15:21 | comment | added | nitsua60 Mod | For spelunkers, we mods have no particular visibility on expired/awarded bounties' messages--so if you're looking for one you remember we have no special tools to help. But the query described in this meta.SE post would pull the comment from any bounty, if you know the question it was on. | |
