    Just wondering about the mod of the year vote.

    Excellent idea, but the two mods I really wanted to vote for are not on the list. (Seamus and Nerin)

    So what do I do with my precious vote now then?

    In serious answer Gandalf Kharn organised the nominations, however at this point I don't think he is going to make any more changes at this late stage.

    I can fix any vote you like.

    Send a cheque with the award and the nominees name written on the back. Alternatively I'll accept 20s and 50s, used notes only.

    In the case of conflicting nominations, I will accept alcohol, drugs and other favours in order to achieve the correct result.

    I didn't pay much attention to this when I had access, but anyway;

    Who decides on the nominees (for any of the categories, but in this case, mods)? Other mods?

    Thanks for the clarifications :)

    Anyone any opinion as to why a nomination process has to be limited to a certain section of the community, away from the users who may wish to put forward their own poster/mod etc.?

    I thought it was a bit like the Professional Footballer's Association "Player of the Year" type thing. The fans aren't involved in the nomination/voting just the other players.

    That's fair enough, up to a point at least, for the mods. What about the other categories though?

    I'd imagine it's because it's easier to gather details from a single thread in the mods forum where there's a limited number of users than it would be from a thread in Feedback that could run to a thousand posts. It's only a bit of fun after all.

    If thats the case, you might as well let the smods decide, or an even smaller group, the admins (those of each group whom are about regularly).

    No one is trying to knock the fun out of it, but if it's a closed shop to a certain section of the site, then there is room for improvement, no?

    I know there's about eleven million mods here now, but that's hardly the point.

    Let it go. I doubt Amp gives a fcuk about what you think of him now, or boards for that matter.

    Im with the Roundmiester on this one, the whole mod of the year is a big circlejerktastic wánkfest IMHO. Its always a clicque who votes for certain members of said clique. I think the users of this site should have the casting and deciding vote here.

    I tried to thank you again yesterday for a post on AS, but couldn't :/ I've thanked you in spirit anyway.

    There's a clique element there at times alright, but I don't know if its as bad as it could be.

    I'd agree though, that it (being all the awards) should be open to all. It could be as simple as having a nominated person for each category who can receive suggestions via PM, or on a dedicated thread in Awards, over say a week, and then putting the top twenty in the pot for a final vote. Keeping the poll hidden is a good idea though, as it adds to the suspense and the craic.
