Guys...this year's turn out in nominations and voting is outstanding!!!

Thank you very much one and all...

As mentioned before...there are a lot of nominations...competition is fierce...and from what we see so far with votes coming it...voting is split...in other words...so far it looks like some nominees have equal amount of votes and are going head to head...

This means...

Those who didn't vote yet...please do so...this time...every vote DEFINITELY counts!!!

Please remember: there is only one vote per category!!!

The easiest way to vote probably would be to copy the entire post into PM and just delete nominees you're not voting for...please vote for pictures with links as they are listed above...

Deadline for votes: Midnight of JULY 15, 2007

Please take a moment and vote...even if you didn't nominate anybody...even if you will vote for somebody you didn't nominate by omission...please vote...

EVERY VOTE COUNTS!!!

GOD BLESS AND THANK YOU ALL IN ADVANCE!!!

There you go Deb

Deb · 09 Jul 2007, 00:21

I need help

I don't know half these people in the nominations lol. Can I skip catagories or do I have to vote in everyone? Also in some catagories there's none I'd choose

I know that's my own fault I should of nominated

But I missed the deadline. Can we start again lol, If I could go back I'd of nominated my dear friend Taz for her username lol. 'Icecube'

Deb

Deb · 09 Jul 2007, 00:22

Thanks Michael

You get most helpful for that

mszee · 09 Jul 2007, 05:40

Voting is going great!!!

Please remember that deadline for votes if July 15!!!

Whoever missed the nomination phase...sorry about that but Meaties are running this year late as it is because of the tour...hopefully there is somebody left alive here to run them next year for a longer period of time...but hey...I was still getting them close to midnight on the cut off date...so no matter how much time...it's never enough...

But there is still time for voting!!!

Ditto...cause nobody nominated them, Pud...that's how it works...you nominate and people vote...simple, ain't it???

And as to the new category of worst moderator...discussion about new categories goes way back...once again...nobody seem to have suggested it...and we haven't quite considered it...this is done for fun...and although we do have most bitter whatever category...it's just to send these people a message...and it's ony one negative category there is...

BUT...should you have suggested worst moderator category in a timely manner...there is no telling...it might have been implemented...

**RadioMaster** · 10 Jul 2007, 16:37

On a serious note (I know, happens to me once in a while too):
From my experience with competitions like that I can say that "worst..." categories, dont make anyone happy, neither the people who 'won', nor the people who didnt.
We had some serious trouble in school a few years back with a person voted 'worst teacher ever'.

I'm fairly certain that some of the names that are on the lists aren't just through other people nominating them.

The message has been sent and recieved and the answer is 'Go F*ck Yourself' I aint changing for no one.

Well if you'd like to PM me and tell me which ones you're querying, I'll be perfectly happy to forward you the PM with their nomination, assuming I was the one to receive it, and I'm certain Zina will do the same.

Besides, your original post was asking why someone WASN't nominated, and the answer to that question is BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T NOMINATE THEM.

I beg your pardon????

I hope it means that some people nominated themselves...which is true and is acceptable by the rules.

Well, I'd rather do that than deal with you on any level...this is not the post of intelligent reasonable person...this is just sour grapes...

*AndyK* · 12 Jul 2007, 15:16

OK, this is supposed to be a bit of lighthearted fun, nothing more than that. Let's not drag it into a witchhunt or slanging match please!

Claims, no matter how veiled of any type of vote or nomination rigging are way out of order and are completelyoff the mark. This is hardly the Oscars or a Presidential Election is it?

If someone hasn't been nominated, they haven't been nominated, simple as that. It doesn't mean that their contribution to this board or to the Meat community as a whole isn't appreciated and valued.

mszee · 12 Jul 2007, 15:19

A few notes on the subject:

1. This is supposed to be funny and light hearted competition...there is nothing serious and/or truly meaningful about it.

2. Nominations mean nothing if people don't vote for nominees. So if the person doesn't deserve something they are not going to get it one way or the other.

3. There was plenty of time allowed for both nominations and voting. Thread was requested and has been stickyed by mods. So it was very visible. The only way you couldn't see it was that either you weren't online for whatever reason or you just didn't care.

4. In order to avoid the conflict of interest, I've sent my nominations to Claire and she has sent hers to me. We did NOT nominate ourselves in any of the categories.

5. Even the President of the United States is allowed to vote for himself. However, this was NOT the case here. Once again, to avoid the conflict of interest me and Claire exchanged our votes and did NOT vote for ourselves in any and all categories we were nominated.

Thank you.

I think some might need convincing of that...

I think Pud's point was that perhaps some of the nominated names weren't people that immediately spring to mind in the categories they're notminated in...

mszee · 12 Jul 2007, 15:24

Thank you, Andy, for hopefully bringing this back on topic and a bit of fun that it's supposed to be.

I think you're right about some of the names being a surprise as nominations...BUT...we just collected the nominations and listed them...we didn't question them or analyze them...that wasn't required...

However, votes should prove who is nominated rightfully...it's votes that count in my opinion.

Please vote for the people you think are truly eligible to win...

Every vote counts...

samurai7 · 12 Jul 2007, 16:36

Well I think this is a load of rubbish, I mean pah! Only ONE nomination for me? And even that's in the best username category.

(I'd better win though, or there'll be trouble!

)
