Thanks 'eadbreaker.

Ok, that's everyone, no more nominations now, I'm just waiting to see if legoburner will let me make a poll.

Luna is a girl I believe

MeanGreenStompa wrote:Deff Dred Red Edition.

He posts encouraging and polite posts in modelling and painting and blogs.

He routinely welcomes people to the forum in the say hello area.

He doesn't get drawn into conflict.

A generally nice guy who is helpful and welcoming.

DDRE for president!

I second MGS' vote for DDRE

I would like to nominate Baga97, because as short as his run was, he took my attention off of Gwar! for awhile, for which everyone on Dakka should be thankful. (Be thankful, you bunch of sissies!!!)

Sorry, no can do, all nomination spots are filled.

Lbursley - who else makes super video guides, and give away secret wash recipes?

...I could, I just don't want to.

My candicates:

-MeanGreenStompa
-Legoburner
-Killkrazy

Moderators shouldn't be candidates.

I personally believe they have more merit for being chosen, as it is them who keep the site up and running, friendly and PG. They deserve a lot of recognition, and an award like this whole be great to show our thanks to them.

Well, then there should be a vote for the Moderator of the Year.

Is this official or something? lol.

Or.....

Moderator of the year should indeed be different from member of the year.

One could further divide into best poster at specific boards:
40k, Fantasy, General Discussion, Modelling + Painting, Misc. Games.

So the choices are based on the first 10 people to post in the thread?

So anyone could have nominated anyone as long as you had 10 names?

Shouldn't there have been voting to get to the final 10?

Your post was made at a certain time of day on a certain day without announcement, so many people will have been out or asleep due to dakka's worldwide membership.

I think this may be a flawed popularity contest that ends up voting for the most prolific poster rather than persona or contributions.

I think if this idea gets adopted it should be restarted that way the nominations would be a bit more fair as everyone would know about it, then the nominations would be the top ten users with the highest amount of nominations.

Well, most of the nominatees I have hardly recognized here at Dakka.
This would make voting difficult.
So it should be a bit more specific.

I personally think that the Mod Gods should make a list of people with a mark against them [or less then a number is someone is deserving] and sort out the top ten by the total of their post count+gallery votes+image uploads and then put it to the public to vote the best. Winner gets 3 months as a DCM or equivalent plus a medal of some sort next to their name.

From the mod and/or DCM of the year, have the public vote on the top ten again as determined by the process above and then the winner gets some dakka dice or something and a medal next to their name.

OR we could just say - everyone is a good Dakkite and have done their part to make this community awesome ;P


No need for competition for something meaningless... except for ... street cred.. hah.

Yep i agree with Chobu , EVERYONE good or bad is what makes up Dakka *2 ,
it wouldnt be the same without us all.

All of us should do what we can in our power to help out , DCM if you have money , tips and tricks if you are skillful , or generally helpful etc etc.

Thanks for the nomination MGS.

As for the contest I to agree with RogueMarket, I feel there is no need for it. Everyone contributes to dakka and that's what makes this a great forum to visit. Choosing the best member is not really needed, we all make up this great site.

F*uck off you pointless little t*wat.

What on earth ? First , i thought OP made this for sake of happy and fun . But if you are worried about missing a spot for the 10 ,
i seriously dont need to be in the list anyways , so you can have it . Because honestly that list is little comfort for me knowing how many people hates me anyways.

Dont use the F word on me , and dont call me a t*wat .

I couldn't give a rat's ass about making the grade for a popularity contest.

Your snide insinuation that I could take your slot is yet more of your continuous passive aggressive drama trawling.

Take the nomination, you attitude and your personalisation of everything on this forum as an attack against you and cram it up your attention needy ass.

Nothing productive will come of this thread, but that does not mean that it has to come down to insulting LunaHound. Was that really necessary?

Yeah so it's a bit iffy, but having everyone put in votes for heaps of people is a bit much for one guy to handle, besides this is just a bit of fun, I didn't event think it would spark so much controversy!!

@MGS, what has come over you? Totally uncalled for. Mods alerted, totally undakka like you.

@Luna, you do server the spot IMHO. Do people actually hate? I find that hard to believe.

Im going to calmly reply to this even though your accusation is making me angry now .

Im neither snide or insinuating anything . Infact i think lately you have been really helpful with commenting + suggesting on painting / modeling thread .
I actually appreciate your for feed backs because you told me before that you dont really sugarcoat while commenting on paint jobs. And thats exactly what i need to improve my painting.

Thus me not wanting to participate + recommending you to the list = a simple place swap , its like 2 birds with 1 stone .

If something as basic and clear as this deserves you yelling at me , then i dunno .

*edit because im half asleep and grammar was totally not making sense ...

Your post 'you can have my spot if it means that much to you' after I had questioned how this was being set up, was a passive aggressive attack. I really couldn't care less about how popular I am. I never have agreed with contests of who is the most liked, it generates false fame and affords people dispropotionate power and leverage and 'cults of self' on the forum. I am an opinionated curmudgeonly bastard and that is not something that endears to many.

The reason I nominated DDRE is because he is a selfless poster and decent individual, not a glory seeker.

I should not have responded with as much vitriol as I did, none the less I retaliated without the subtlety you employed and will await the mod ruling.
