I vote britboy for man of honour.

Castiel · 10 Dec 2011 at 22:55

Ha! I've been accused of being a spammer based on that postcount.......

Anyway back on topic.......should we have a shortlist or not?

(forget about who should be on it)

When do the MoH get announced anyway?

how do you think I feel!!

I don't really think it makes a difference whether there's a vote or not.

I think we should, but it would be hard (very hard) to stop it from turning into a popularity contest. I'm not bothered at all by the way it works currently, but that's not to say that it couldn't work better.

@Cleec, that may be - but you've got nowhere to spam without TI&M (may she rest in peace). Also, how dare you only have one less post than me! :mad:

My vote is very easy. This is a PC forum and one of our members has, without kicking up much of a fuss, managed to get things changed for the better this year and rightly so.

Respect you you, sir.

Thankfully the water cooling sub forum is pretty busy

I'll soon sort that pesky post out

1st January. Threads started for 2010, 2009, 2008 and 2006. I couldn't find 2007 from a quick search so I'd guess it either wasn't started by Spie or it has been pruned.

I don't think there's anything particularly wrong with people nominating whoever they want but the decision is ultimately one for Spie to make.

A prepared shortlist from the moderation/Admin team, with a short explanation on why they think the person should be considered...and then a simple poll.

I agree that a freeforall would be to some extent unworkable, but a Shortlist would allow for some input from the community....

Could work... but i think to keep Spie happy he would have to have the power to veto

Fraud

The problem is MoH is usually decided based on people who have contributed to the community/forum (from my understanding), making it into a poll wouldn't make it anything more then a popularity contest. This isn't High School.

This, stu for example has probably posted in every single GH thread and has helped so so so many on the forums!

Indeed. And being a prolific poster in GD is about the last thing to get you anywhere on the MoH front, from what I can tell.
