[Sheed30]

Some great nominees but I had to go with aasoror on this one..

[EbonyRose]

Voted for MrDisco!!

[Joshray]

Guess what... previous winner is leading the poll. Shouldn't have been eligible in the first place.

Uh, no? Only those who won the contest from the previous year are ineligible for this year. And since there was no winner - or contest, for that matter - last year, everyone is eligible. Well, everyone except staff, lol.

Mr.Disco has helped me many times... my vote goes to him!!

Actually, why would a previous years' winner be ineligible? If he continues to be the most helpful then it surely will be deserved. On the other hand, with the most helpful thread nomination double-dipping should not be allowed.

Why am I not here :(

I don't know the motivation for the rules of contests prior. But presumably, barring a contest winner from another win (re: a win in the next immediate contest, if that makes sense) allows/encourages other users to contribute to the forum to earn nominations so they may have a chance at winning.

Also, multiple nominations (re: in different categories) should be allowed. Remember, it's not the mods or admin (or staff, for that matter) who put names on the list - it is the people (re: the RFD community) who nominates them. And assuming we're basing nominations on one's qualifications, if a user is qualified as (one of) the best in a number of categories, then they deserve to be nominated in those categories.

And remember -- we're talking about nominations and putting names on ballots. There is no guarantee that once a name is on the ballot that it will win. Though if the community believes a particular RFDer on a ballot deserves to win in two categories then they should be allowed to vote for said user to win twice.

...this reminds me of subject awards in school. Should a student who is best in, say, two subjects be barred from winning two awards just because people think a student should one? If the criteria for an award is having the highest grade in a subject, and a student has earned the highest grade, then shouldn't that student get an award for every subject he/she has earned the highest grade in?

I gather he was referencing me? I'm honoured and flattered I was nom'd in several categories, but from the looks of it, I won't win anyway lol. Just call me the Susan Lucci of RFD.

:lol: I don't think you'll have to wait 18 contests before you actually win, though.

Wouldn't surprise me :razz:.

[natster]

Voted for Mr. Disco, although I notice that aasoror is generally helpful too.

[Sibica]

How is this not set-up when we have to choose from a predetermined list?

[oranr]

How is this not set-up when we have to choose from a predetermined list?

This predetermined list was the top nominees that the community selected. We had a nominee selection thread for 11 days, where the community can nominate their most helpful/knowledgeable user and from that the top 6-8 were selected for the poll round.

[erfans]

I vote for djino based on his help and knowledge of cell phones...in particular: wind mobile phones and voip callback setup.

[jrthemajor]

I'm going with Mr.Disco :D

[mrperfect]

Im having a hard time deciding between Aasoror and WorldIRC. I think both of them are winners but, a choice has to be made so I go with Aasoror. :)

[45ED]

FWIW, MrDisco made:

• Two posters

45ED we need to turbo charge your campaign. Time to shake a few babies and kiss a few hands. I've gone ahead and drawn up some posters you can use while you're on tour (you can pay for my consulting fees at a later date).

• And a commercial


45ED it's time to make an assault on the airwaves and start phase 2 of our operations. I submit our campaign video (to be aired pending payment)

Just to help me with my campaign to win in the Favourite Off-topic poster category. Mostly b/c the OT category is so contentious. But this category doesn't have to be. Vote MrDisco!

Lol, Most Helpful User indeed. http://forums.redflagdeals.com/images/icons/new/smilies/thread-wink-32.png
