Only problem with the nominations thing is it turns into a popularity contest. And limiting it makes it worst. 4 out of 50-60 active members per vote? Not a lot. I personally liked it the way it was. If any nominations are to happen, I think it should be the categorys. Have the members decide what will be voted on. No, I mean, someone nominates one or two people for each category, then the top four nominations for each category are taken (the 4 that are nominated the most, if more than one person nominates a certain person) and the members choose one to vote for. Therefore, it gives the members some people to vote on, rather than having no direction at all.

What about this?
1. Members are presented with categories. 2. Members nominate AS MANY nominees as they want. 3. Staff running Awards then pick top 4-5 nominees. 4. Members are then presented with those 4 and vote on those. [1 vote / member]
Also, there should be a rule that you must have x ammount of posts or a certain register date to vote, because some cheating may happen. :X

I think they should make it so that only people who have registered at least a week before the voting starts should be allowed to vote, or only people who have registered a month (or earlier) before the voting starts should be allowed to vote.
I say this because if you register only a few weeks before the voting, obviously you aren't going to know enough about the members to vote for them.

Thank you for the suggestions, they'll need to be thought about nearer the time. One idea I had was to remove any negative awards and also keep the list smaller, so that there aren't pages of threads to go through.

If people can't take a joke, then they shouldn't be participating in the awards. Afterall, it is a mock election. Mock people. It's fun.

I hate it when people alter things because it may "hurt" people's feelings. Well, tough luck. People aren't always going to go out of their way to make you feel great. That's life.
I think there are certain negative awards we should keep out, especially if they are going to result in hurting someone's feelings enough that they leave the community. Other than that, everyone knows it's just all in good fun.

It's not taken as a joke though, while everyone else gets a nice positive award and you get the one for being the most annoying or the biggest spammer, it's not nice for somewhere you have been a member at for a long time, to get that thrown in your face.

Ok, so can we give suggestions on categories for the awards ?

Ok, so can we give suggestions on categories for the awards ? I'm guessing most of last year. I remember there was a "Favorite Linking Park song" <- XDD
