Why Sirineou should be banned ?

Why Sirineou should stay ?

 

I suspect the first one will get a lot more votes than the second one. I attribute it to jealousy over my handsome good looks, angelic singing voice and funky dance moves.

After a couple of stiff drinks you should be ready for this thread.

What about something along the lines of allocating one nomination per sub forum, with a criteria that the nominee has started at least 2 threads with over 10 responses in that forum, and at least 20 posts

 

I guess there are too many sub forums so may have to qualify by the number of posts in that forum Jan - Nov

Top 10 or 15 forums provide one nominee

 

Just a rough outline would need fine tuning

And make sure they want to play. Too many candidates aren't interested.

Yep agree, if they were in the contest, but also representing/highlighting their favourite forum might stimulate a bit more interest participation

In spite of the usual complaints I haven't seen a "bad" POTY contest yet.

Heads roll, bruises heal, we get a result, and do it all again next year.

I used to be staff at a forum with thousands of members,  we too had elections at the end of the year: best post, best thread, best member, best staffer, best avatar, best signature, most funny member, most missed member, best artist (there was a graphics section) etc.

 

As it wasn't to be taken too seriously we didn't bother with a committee,  simply a nomination round first, followed by elections. The winners would get funny gold, silver and copper graphics displaying the title they won below their username. And indeed it made people quite enthusiastic, with lots of fun and postive posts.

You volunteered..

3 years ago?

Hey Geronimo I never intend being nominated ever again. Unfortunately I got 2 votes last year which was way too many. If you need a hand later this year to keep an eye on proceedings, count votes and throw in the occasional one liner, please ask.

POTY should also be awarded for gold, silver and bronze.
