I hope you are aware, Kipi, that dealing with this event is far more work and hassle than you might think.
Just a warning

I would not put it as stupid, more as a misunderstanding, but the moment that I laughed so hard was in a thread and a member thought that all the discussion about mods, was about DW.....

reminds me of the time i stuck my foot in my mouth about a pregnancy and the lady was not expecting. LOL:laugh:

I'll have to see if I can find that thread again.

Be careful with things like this one, as we do not want to get things out of hand, insults flying and old things dug up which could cause hurt feelings.
Be respectful, or the thread will be moderated.

I nominate Magrus as the pervert one! He's been slacking a bit this year, but no one else has even tried compared to him.

Good luck with this one, Kipi.... CM and I found much annoyance with this particular endeavor in the past.

Indeed... as did I last year when CM decided to bequeath it to me..
Be prepared for a lot of hard work when counting votes, actually *getting* people to cast their votes, and having people accuse you of gerrymandering the votes...

It has its fun moments, for sure, but make sure you have several bottles of Tylenol handy... Oh, and a whip or or two likely wouldn't hurt either

How can you say that? I still have the marks.

Even if the marks go away from sight, they're still there. Always there deep down inside, reminding you.

Warning noted, and the category removed from this award list...

And apologizes if it insulted anyone...

I think assault gun and few bottles of Vodka will do...

Placing MGs around might help when it comes to dealing with rioters. You may also need some Shermans in case things go awry.

*Jumps in*

Speak Your Mind - it is just an acronym for this forum's name.

Gah! Thanks for clearing that up.

oh, we send him a private message to nominate people? and i was just about to post some peoples names on here... well, im not getting the SYM most helpful member...although i could get the "most stupid thing said in SYM" award? haha

Boy, this place has changed for someone to think himself worthy of the spammer award for tossing out 300 posts in a few months. :speech:

Indeed!
I also think, frankly, that where the spammer category goes it should not apply to spam for the sake of empty spam; it should be judged for grace and wit. In my books the virtual equivalent of verbal diarrhoea does not merit any particular recognition
