BONUS POLL - Feedback on the Forum Awards

[zabu of nΩd]

Since there were a few controversies about the awards this year, I figured I'd give people a chance to weigh in on those, just to see how serious the perceived problems really were. Multiple choice is allowed. Discuss if you care.

 

[The Ozzman]

All awards need to be consolidated into one event imo

 

[ShredHeadJHJ]

No problems here.

 

[The Ozzman]

Also:

People who win a category should not be able to win the following year. Hell, I'd be willing to go as far to say that they should be able to be nominated

Voted for this:

Vihris's faggotry has reached a new high during this event.

 

[AchrisK]

I liked the categories from last time better, overall. Best Debater was cool, and Most Knowledgeable was a better choice than "Best Taste". But no real complaints.

I do think more categories makes it more fun and interesting. I also think all categories should be nominated and voted for at the same time, and run by one person. I know that was not your fault, v-g.

 

[Matt]

I accidentally picked the first option. Disregard.

I disagree. This is to have fun and let people recognize who makes their forum experience enjoyable. If that is continually a couple of people, so be it.

i had fun with it and for those that don't like it, fuck off and stop bitching. if you don't want anything to do with it, then don't have anything to do with it

How come no option for "who gives a fuck?"

 

[zabu of nΩd]

I'm glad to see my faggotry has gained such renown.

 

[no country for old wainds]

How come no option for "who gives a fuck?"

the bottom option is basically that

 

[MasterOLightning]

Poll results and nominations should have been made public, so more people would have their feelings hurt.

 

[skeptik]

Poll results should have been public and people should have been allowed to vote for two options each, as it was last time. However, I think we shouldn't even bother trying to have awards again, since people obviously can't handle it.

 

[The Ozzman]

or make the awards more interesting like some of the ones KD and I proposed. Controversy is interesting

Agreed.

Meh. They're a bit of harmless fun, and all the controversies and tantrums have only added to the entertainment.

The awards have been plenty controversial enough without a bunch of "Worst poster" and "Who should be banned" joke awards lumped on top.

 

[MasterOLightning]

Yeah, if the constant negative responses mutantllama has received haven't gotten the message across, then I doubt a Worst Poster award will.

I agree on the public thing (I was only following standard operating procedure this time around), though I don't see what good would come from letting people vote twice. If anything, that's just going to distort the polls since some people will only vote once and others will take it as an invitation to fuck with the system (i.e. no country for old wainds) and possibly vote for everyone.

Meh. They're a bit of harmless fun, and all the controversies and tantrums have only added to the entertainment.

Correct. No lives were lost, and anyone with half a brain did not let this get to them in the end.

I was thinking more along the lines of 'Which two GMDers would you like to see fight?'
