NancyL Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 I know I've posted several times about the Thai Visa POTY (Poster of the Year) contest. It doesn't help that the election rules this year were as complex as the U.S. election process, with nominations, semi-finals, quarter-finals, etc, and everyone's votes being wiped out at each stage and the "winners" being forced to start over again. But this really, truly is the LAST time I'll ask for your vote and hopefully the other candidates will stay away with their boring videos, encouragements to vote "NULL" and rehash of local Chiang Rai politics. I guess those guys simply don't have their own local followings and think the way to campaign is to "go negative". You know me as someone who tries to be helpful. Who makes suggestions about where to find a dry cleaner, good quality sheets, Coke Zero, and a good Christmas dinner. Who has used Thai Visa as a way to gather reports about what's up with Imm. Prom. and forward it to the foreign consuls -- only to be banned from Imm. Prom. as a result. I'm on Thai Visa every day. It's one of the first things I do every day when I wake up, no matter where I am in the world. I see it as an important resource for Chiang Mai people and I hope I'm contributing every day. I'd consider it an honor to be named POTY! Please don't let the opportunity to vote pass. The deadline to vote is Wednesday, midnight, Thai time: http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/881443-vote-now-poster-of-the-year-grand-finale-2015/ Thank you for your vote.

NancyL Posted December 28, 2015 Author Share Posted December 28, 2015 Can't believe I read the OP........Gawd......... Didn't take you long to come over to my home forum, did it TransAm? Why is that? Don't do you have a home forum? Oh wait, I've been clued up that you and your supporters belong to other Thailand-related forums, ones made of Thai Visa outcasts, busy planning your victory. It's pretty sad that your "Home" forum isn't even on Thai Visa. Some would say that your supporters don't like the idea of a woman winning POTY -- just as they didn't like the idea of Jingthing, a gay guy, winning last year's very ugly contest. It says everything about you, TransAm, if you've aligned yourself with the David48 faction of last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garryjohns Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 (edited) Wow, this whole POTY thing is so pathetic at best, and has created a whole new low on a forum that is already way down there in the eyes of so many. You participants and a few supporters should be so embarrassed Cringeworthy it is. Edited December 29, 2015 by seedy Quote hidden post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chiang mai Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 This years POTY has brought out the very worst in some of the candidates (and posters), I can't decide in my own mind whether it's a case of their true nature being revealed or if it's just the unusual circumstances that cause these personality blips. Either way, it's ugly at times. Sad really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyL Posted December 29, 2015 Author Share Posted December 29, 2015 Well, considering that the contest originated from the "Farang Pub" subforum, I guess I shouldn't be taking it too seriously, should it? Perhaps the powers-that-be on Thai Visa should consider renaming the contest in the future if it continues to be battle of the 12-year olds.

daoyai Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 I think poster of the year should simply be determined by ratio of "likes" to posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiang mai Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Not everyone is into the "likes" system. Also, I can think of posters who post solely to obtain likes rather than anything to do with accurate informational posts, many times the content of their posts are wildly wrong.

jimmym40 Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 I'm amazed at all the negative posters, posting against Nancy. In my eyes she's gone way out of her way to better the environment of all in Chiang Mai and even across Thailand. Just the matter of CM immigration. Who else spent any amount of time trying to enhance all the procedures that immigration processes, I'm also surprised there aren't more supporters of Nancy here on this thread. I personally have never met Nancy. I believe she is worthy of a lot more than just being named the poster of the year. Come on people.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like your assumption that I am aligned with anyone, cos I am not, but I do have friends that talk to me, is that OK..? PS. I have not used TVF to start topics about voting for Trans, the contest is about folk who have posted during 2015 that they like, nothing else. Do you understand now...? You can also be sure when the contest ends the voting will look very different, so don't worry yourself yet.. Get over it boys and girls...come new year you all will be back at school soon enough and can continue this childishness back in the classrooms. You all, i presume are adults, start acting like it instead of totally embarrassing yourselves in public over such a petty thing.
