Since POTY (Poster Of The Year) seems to have become too toxic to hold again why not have a bunch of fun awards for things in the past year like

Topic Of The Year" (TOTY) in all it's various potential categories e.g.;

Most Appropriate Response/Post (MAROTY)/(MAPOTY)

Funniest Post/Response (FUPOTY)/(FUROTY)

Stupidest  etc, etc.

 

Any ideas

 

 I would suggest that any posts made after this post would not qualify for anything! except ridicule! Which I expect this post to get anyway!

 

POS: post of significance, im at it all the time

I am not sure it's a largely shared opinion among the members

POTY is an entertaining moment in the forum life for the ones interested by it

but it needs a rethinking of the model, with crystal clear and logics rules at the start

a short public friendly competition (like 1 week or 10 days maximum) before the final vote poll (Only one vote should be enough imo, at the end of the 1 week or 10 days)

I nominate myself for poser of the year

Unfortunately, some of the best posts have been made by posters who have since been banned.

Thread of the year.

I can hardly remember some posters names, but can clearly remember some cracker threads.

I hear exactly what you are saying but I started this thread because  Rimmer (a Global Moderator)  closed a thread in this forum on 16 Sept saying;

"It is more than likely there will be no more POTY,   all it does is create bad feeling that continues right up to this topic today."

 

PS; Sorry for the "copy and paste above but I don't know how to do a "formal" quote from a closed topic, the system does not seem to allow it

It should be sad if there is no POTY this year

and i don't agree at all with Rimmer opinion

(Is it allowed to disagree with a moderator opinion?)

what about a public poll on the forun about do you want POTY again or not?

The POTY designation should definitely be kept but just let it stand for 'Plonker Of The Year' .

 

Plenty of possible candidates.

 

So what was the problem with POTY?  Seems that being a pathetic snowflake can afflict all ages.  I think Yinn is a great POTY. because 'sticks and stones' etc.  Some people are too damn sensitive......

POTY should go by the poster who has the most amount of popular posts over the year from 500 posts upwards, no point in anyone being a POTY if they send less than 500 posts in that year.

My posts are always up there with the best, unless you are one of the very few who disagree with me. ????

I suspect only your modesty could prevent you from winning at least one award!
