Jingthing Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 What are the criteria for 'good' poster? Half of the ones mentioned here talk a heap of crap and the other half I've never heard of. . What about ones that give useful information like Ubon Joe, Lopburi, Arkady. If you value useful information, reward posters who give that with your vote. Mods are not eligible in this contest though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jingthing Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 The people who nominate the, most frequent stated, members for poster of the year really need to think again. It all shows the shallowness of many on this forum. The inability to read properly, and judge a posters different and inconsistent (personal)attitude on various topics, is apparent on here. A simple mind is a joy forever, one can conclude. The only the lonely people who spent their waking hours onThaivisa must now at least have a topic to fall back on during their depressive moods. Bless them. I would say, let the girl win. She needs it. No girls here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WitawatWatawit Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 im not trying to buy nominations but remember i make beautiful lincolnshire and cumberland sausages,,,, I didn't know that, Jake! I really didn't. Cumberland sausages, eh? I like Cumberland sausages, Jake. I really do. I'd do ANYTHING for a couple of kilos of them, I really would. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Jingthing Posted December 10, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted December 10, 2014 I nominate: tutsiwarrior because during his one year reign as Thaivisa Poster of the Year 2012... he took on the role in a very amusing manner! In fact, he was the FUNNIEST WINNER ever. Since it is apparently allowed for posters to win multiple times (seems a bit greedy but who am I to judge) we could do MUCH WORSE than tutsiwarrior http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/user/3474-tutsiwarrior/ 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrWorldwide Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Naam and Pib for consistently kneecapping the emotion-laden rants in the Economy forum. Nothing like a few facts to really ruin a good rant. (if I could nominate two people who give their time selflessly to this forum, day after day, sheryl and ubonjoe should be given whatever honor Thaivisa can bestow on them) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David48 Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 I just hope the Friendly Year End Event, brings out in the best in us as members, and not the things that separate us. JT and I are probably usually make the list, because we post a lot. But there are some other real Gems of members out there who don't post that often, but have a mark of quality about them. Have a read of this member JAFO ... http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/771873-pros-cons-and-misunderstandings/ I wrote this about him and the thread was popular in the Forum for a while ... Sometimes, you come across an excellent post. Maybe not a post that you might write, but you can still see merit in it. This post, reproduced (in part) below was unfortunately was buried on page 5 of a popular thread and didn't receive the exposure that it might have if it had been viewed as a stand alone topic. At the time, I contacted the member and asked if I could reproduce it and frame an OP around it ... he said, no problems ... thanks JAFO ... JAFO is from the USA but now lives in Thailand, from memory. Just a thought ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
