We must overthrow Saddam!!!



SE is innocuous.

The real threats to civility and decency are the cyber-stalkers and criminals, Elle and dickbreath.

Yeah, SE is pretty mean sometimes, but I know she doesn't take it to the extreme that the other aforementioned psychopaths do.

Us beggars can't be choosers though, no one else volunteered so in the end scorched is what we get.


although firebunny has started something new so kudos to him.



she pre-empted anyone that would possibly consider doing one..predictable, really, given track record



You can't really pre-empt when you *know* well enough that it's highly unlikely that someone was going to host it in the first place. Everyone loves the drama and the results, but not the work.

Those who voted really have no complaint against the host or the process. They took the opportunity to add names to categories like anyone else.




From what I understand many are blocked, how are they suppose to vote? I can't wait to hear your genius answer.



She has help doing the tallies. Whoever is blocked will be seen by the individual(s) helping her.

Fresh ideas for next year?



i think you should be able to vote for as many people as you want to per category..hard to pick one pisces or one scorpio.

maybe each room should collaborate on their own awards. i think that would be pretty cool. M did that for the Cap room last year and it was good spirited and accurate and gave some less recognized posters appreciation rather than what these awards signify i.e. the prolific loudmouths campaigning for the meek/poor judges of character to vote for them.

Liking that idea a lot...

Given the propensity for outright lies, personal attacks, intellectual dishonesty....



Can't speak to the last part of your post.
But I was subjected to a bit of the first.

I did see complaints that the voting was not like what it was in the past and I suspect that it is precisely because of the conduct of a few bad actors I've been reading about.

I do think PVAF made a good suggestion (I think others did too) about getting someone without any emotional investment to run the thing, if its that big a deal here.

I think the different rooms voting and submitting is also a good idea.
It prevents behaviors to "chase off" others.
I also think, taking into the mention of someone going on the boards and trying to influence/disrupt can be deflected, especially if its a long term person here with a known history. Their sudden appearance on a voting thread in each of those rooms would be a big red flag.

So Chance's idea is a winner



It *is* a good idea-- what about the forum-wide categories, though?



they would have to be matching the main categories, right? Or there would at least have to be some consensus on the ones forwarded to the main event, and hopefully less than 40.

Ohhhhh

Nvrmind-- I get it. 😄

+1

Considering the "compliment" is at the expense of others due to their so called "psychopathology"

I wish u guys would take this topic more seriously...

-_-




I seriously think that every should pool our moneys together, get some coke and hookers. I bet everyone would be in a better mood and would not be bicker about something so dumb as High School Senior equivalent yearbook popularity contest.

I'll second that. But I want whiskey instead of coke.

I didn't mean to insult anyone's efforts. As lame as it sounds, I have been a part of other message board awards. These awards seem a little hasty and unorganized. Sorry. Not saying you're not doing the best job with what you've been given, but it is possible for it to go a lot smoother than it's going right now.

The way the voting is setup now, people are changing their votes after they see someone else's and get offended etc whatever.




You inspired me to start this thread ~

365 days.



Right?

365 days from now, you think this place is going to have the same members? Fighting about the same stupid shit?



it's all in fun..not that serious



It is supposed to be fun... so, I don't understand what everyone is bitching and complaining about.


click to expand




So the original questions are about how to make the awards more fun... Any suggestions?

Exactly. None of these answers or changes are going to reflect the actual awards. Too many people leave Dxp in a years time.

Wut? People around here have been here for years and they remember shit like from years ago lol.

Then why does this not show in the actual awards? And another issue you just brought to my attention is that none of the new people are participating. It's all a crowd of oldies who have old drama that spill into the new thread, like someone mentioned earlier. Thus is why preparation shouldn't be too ahead of time so the newbs can have a reason to participate.

All valid points, that is why best to discuss. It's not really a preparation for next one, just an exchange of ideas based on what we've seen wrong with present one...

Why should be constrained to vote for people that particular signs board hypothetically (not realistically) would choose when I don't know shit about them?

How's that better than people voting for who everyone else is voting for or is the most popular seriously lol—



That's increased participation surely.

imagine a most helpful award where the nominees are two people who start shit.

or biggest kiss ass award between two eminently sensible people.

then you'd really not see any inflated egos or predictable results.
click to expand




That would make the choice harder but the person voted wouldn't be a true representation of what your voting for in the first place... (At least in the scenario you are proposing unless we are to change the format to having the exact opposites voted for a category they don't fit purely out of humor and good fun).

Plus, where's my motivation to vote for them if neither of them are people I know anything about to form some kind of opinion based off my observation of them historically?

If my understanding is correct... Robyn posted Advertisements for the awards to on every signs board tell "everyone" to come vote. It had a direct link to the thread no less.
