Nice. I guess you need to at least give a description per option in the poll, on how and what those name are.
I can also edit the poll, I just took the names from the bitcoin community award, if you have proposals you can put a description and name and I'll addWhat i mean, is the descriptions that can be entered on the thread too since i guess poll has limited characters to enter(?).
if you have noticed, they are very similar names, or rather, totally similar, to the categories present on bitcointalk
zero imagination true
Good luck in your contest babo!
After reading the threads (I have already voted) and speaking with Babo, to whom I thank this initiative, I would like to say the following.
Winners will also earn an amount of Karma, to be determined. (100?, 75?...).
Winners will receive forum tokens that I will send myself, of the points (544,096 right now) that I got by posting on the forum. The amount could be divided equally, for example.
There is no problem with badges. The duration of the badges on the winners' profile, how long would they last?. Annual until the next awards, I guess.
I am at your disposal for anything you need.
ok for karma
ok for token
about badge i think a permanent badge like
Forum Ninja 2024 Winner if is possible
this would make the contest very popular and competitive since everyone would like a badge like this, what do you think? It seems like a very nice idea to me

Ok, I don't see any problem with badges being permanent, but if a year later the same user receives the same badge again, the profile would be big and repetitive, so we should (if that happens) look for a possible solution for that.

Personally, I think the winner would already got enough karma for their posts. I don't think given karma bombs would be so good... specially so high amounts ..

Quite an interesting initiative babo. I will suggest that the badge number (as in years) can be changed yearly if the person wins it again for the second or fourth time consecutively. And also, it will be very nice if there'll be a thread for those who has won the title, which could serve as a follow up.
I just hadn't thought about itI like the idea of "golden member" because it is close to the goal of AltcoinsTalks for a friendly crypto forum. If allowed, I suggest changing the name of this award if it will be selected: AltcoinsTalks friendly member.
hero - This person has dedicated many years to serving the community and left an indelible legacy, a person whose name embodies the true spirit of the cypherpunk. The departed heroes also deserve this award!
ninja - There have always been users on the forum who stand out from the crowd in writing style and objectivity, those whose activity seems omnipresent and those without whom you cannot imagine Bitcointalk.
geek - Tell us which of your acquaintances is passionate about Bitcoin to the extreme, who can easily explain to you such nuances that you did not even know about or who simply chose a ASIC for your grandmother.
antihero - Even "evil" has its own principles, so such a person is capable of anything, even if it does not benefit him.
golden - There have always been users on the forum who stand out from the crowd in writing style and objectivity, those whose posts are always pleasant to read, and discussions with them bring satisfaction.

Well, that depends on what you interpret as enough Karma. What amount is enough according to you?. I'm asking you so we can think of more things to give to the winners.
obviously I could do it alone, but I think it's an important decision for us all to make togetherIf we can only have 3 community awards than I would kick out any negatives like antihero, there is no need for explaining why.
clearly I would only start with three categories and related description, feel free to vote for the three you like best and create a sort of description together

For GEEK category I think we can expand from only Bitcoin, to other altcoins, wallets, devices, etc.
HERO needs to be someone who contribute forum in significant way and made best improvements in forum.
NINJA should be someone who created useful tools that rare used as forum extension, that includes bots, websites , etc.
Enough karma is exactly the number of karma people gave the user for his posts.
If content is useful, he gets more karma than other users.
But when the user receives 100 karma for winning a contest, that is not proportional to the effort necessary to receive the same 100 posting. It requires dozens of excelents posts...
That the winners are given those amounts of Karma (they were just an example) I don't think it has anything to do with the number of good posts that are needed to obtain those quantities in a traditional way, since a prize is precisely something that is not achieved very often. These are just suggestions, not orders. We can always decide what amounts we are going to give.
~snip~
also I would put a barrier to prevent random people from voting, I don't know, 100 karma earned as a barrier? what do you think?

I suppose 100 is a good barrier, but other users may find that amount excessive. I think the best thing is for other users to give their opinion, if they don't say anything about it, you can maintain that 100 barrier.
It's just an opinion, not a law written by me
the altcoinstalks community award belongs to the community, not mine, we can, i don't know, move it to 70, it serves to avoid new or dormant accounts and to let those who really participate vote
Obviously it's my opinion and other people's opinions would be nice

Last night Mixero management and I had a discussion about this event and the Mixero management wants to appreciate the type of initiatives and events from altcoinstalks members. As a gesture of good will, they agree to sponsor the event.Many thanks to Royse and mixero team for their support here on the forum. Anyways this forum award firstly needs to be more visible. So in that case I suggest that admin somehow be pins it at the top so it would be easier for people to toggle over to plus it would make it more visible.

I would have support 100, but there are a lot of members who are not very active and did not earn too much karma. But they are somewhat active and often contribute. So, I guess we should give them a chance. I propose 75 or 70 and let's see what other members propose. 75 is a good number in my opinion. If someone wants to abuse the voting system, I believe the admin will assist you in finding those accounts, and he may punish them as well.

I would like to ask the community what will be a good amount to inspire everyone to be a part of this event and support the forum to its success for this event.

Well, it seems that 100 does not fit much into the idea of bitmover, so while waiting for him to suggest what amount seems appropriate, we will leave 70 as a reference while waiting for suggestions from other users.

That's really giffy. Nevertheless I think now the post will be more visible but still is everything going to be done on this thread? Like I mean both the voting entries and the discussions about it because since this is going to actually be the first contest of it's kind, there will be suggestions and other discussions along the way and mixing it up with the voting may likely turn out messy. I think babo should create a new thread hosting it formally
Done.

Feel free to PM me here or @Mia_vic on telegram Royse once the mixero team has decided and is ready.

SnipThe reward is for the winner or winners so they can support the event with any amount they can to improve participation in the forum. As a company $100 to $1,000 to s good and if it is na individual then $10 to $500 is also good. That is my humble suggestion. And I also appreciate your effort on this event for discussing with the team to support the event. Thanks.
yes, everyone can vote as they prefer but above all you can propose categories and then I add them to the pollCan we also propose different categories and different names?
I took the ones that might be the prettiest
let's consider that it's the first year, then we can do better next year :)
of course is the first attempt, not all be perfect

I don`t think karma award is a good idea imo.I agree with you.
Let users give karma to the winner if they wish... That is my suggestion.
I agree with you.
There is not enough transparency in karma system fordoing that.
I would like to ask the community what will be a good amount to inspire everyone to be a part of this event and support the forum to its success for this event.
I would only suggest more prizes, even smaller ones so that more members are included in the contest. And of course, enough time so that most users could be informed about the contest and possibly participate.
Can we also propose different categories and different names?
It would be nice if we have something unique to AltcoinsTalks forum, to make it different from Bitcointalk forum.
I would agree here that it would be good to give some uniqueness to this contest. Given that it is a much smaller community (compared to Btt), one can already see which members can enter the shortlist in any category.

obviously yes, but you have to hurry because time is running out
we cannot extend it further so if you want you decide that I add the category and the description you want to give to this one
I made sure that anyone can have their say on purpose for this reason :D

We already have proposition for forum Geek, Ninja and Hero, but I think it is good to have category Best Project will motivate people to create new projects and update old ones.
I would also try to avoid giving same member multiple rewards, in case he wins most votes in more than one category.

It's all there, the best project is something to obviously be offered to altcoinstalks
we could also include the important event of 2024, this also fits, just to understand the feelings of the community
excellent idea, I really like it, in the end you don't even need a badge to give out here.
There is also my bot, but which other projects related to the forum are there?I am talking about any services related with AltcoinsTalks forum, and member will decide what is the best project for them.
Or maybe you are talking about services like casinos, mixers, etc?
can remove from pinned and put the real one? thankzThe proposal to have one thread for discussion about this contest and one for voting is quite good and constructive. Now this seems to me like an even bigger confusion, because you changed the first post and the subject of the thread. Also, something completely different was discussed here, and in addition to voting posts, there will always be some additional unnecessary questions or answers.
@babo, this contest should be promoted a bit. Somehow, I am under the impression that most forum members still do not know about this and about the method of awarding.
Maybe the admin could add a link somewhere at the top of the page. For example, below the Latest news link.
I could use Google Translator and put it in all local sections, but I don't know if it makes this or not this thingYes, translation and respect in the local board would probably help. At least in the most active local.
I do not do it because it could be considered spam and not and [very kind to enter like this at the house of others and post things
How could we do? In fact I had noticed this thing too

As far as I've seen, there are several users here who do translate anyway, they even have some kind of alliance on Bitcointalk, maybe one of them who is already present here can help. For example DYING_S0UL (https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?action=profile;u=97750) Mention him, maybe he can give more information about translating into other languages.
DS here! How can I help? :)We are talking about an eventual translation contest into other languages. I remembered you as a member of that AOBT group, so I assume you know which users from this forum could help translate the thread into local languages.

This is about: 🏆 Altcoinstalks Community Awards - 2024 / voting thread (https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=327997.0)
We need dear DYING_S0UL to have to advertise this event in the forum, this event
How can we do?
To me the only idea that comes is to crosspiece in the local sections by translating with Google, I have no other systems
But I wouldn't want it to be taken as a spam or worse still like plagiarism.

If I can suggest that Admin or moderators pin the news about voting on top so that everyone can see this easily.
We did something similar in another forum and it made significant difference with activity in voting topic.
I already voted btw but maybe I will make some changes in future.
Yeah that's actually a good move too. Also I think another nice thing to do is to actually make it more visible than it is. That's because this particular Forum award in my opinion is the first and biggest of its kind here even if the Forum actually used to have a community awards before now.If I can suggest that Admin or moderators pin the news about voting on top so that everyone can see this easily.

You're right, I didn't think to pin this post, but it's fixed now. I hope that now this thread has more visibility and greater user participation as well.
Thanks for the note dkbit98. And good luck to all forum members.
Therefore I suggest you actually pin it some way that irrespective of the board you are in you would still get to see it at the top of the forum since not everyone visits this board frequently.It is interesting that even though the members are aware of the contest, they still refrain from voting.

Everyone wants new signature campaigns and to make money on the forum, but it is often difficult to contribute to the progress of the forum. If there are no interested parties in the free contest, which btw awards prizes, how can we expect any business or company to recognize the interest in promoting themselves here?
As I said a few days ago, here is the translation of the thread into Spanish: https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=328314.0.+1 to you Freemind you've been really active on this forum and helpful too. Anyways I've been way busy these days so my schedule has been pretty tight. Nevertheless I will consider making a translation for the Nigerian board too for better visibility of course hopefully when my schedule gets less bulky.

~snip~
I agree with dkbit98 on this. Even though the event is being advertised throughout the forum, there hasn't been a significant amount of participants to this date. Not only that, a lot of users are not even aware of it. So if the admin pins the news with something big and bold, something similar to the shown image above, I think it would help greatly with the visibility.
I just asked the administrator if he can do it. I think that in the logo part of the forum it is possible to put links or images with links as has already been done with other logos.The admin pinned the wrong thread. Instead of a discussion, he should pin a voting thread, this https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=327997.0;topicseen
When I have more information I will put it here.
Edit: The administrator has already made the link more visible.
(https://i.ibb.co/wNrchwhh/awards.png) (https://imgbb.com/)
@babo, I don't see any links in the OP that leads to the Altcoinstalks Community Awards voting thread but only translations! Can you please update OP with the link redirecting to the voting page? :)
The admin pinned the wrong thread. Instead of a discussion, he should pin a voting thread, this https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=327997.0;topicseen
For the success of this contest, it's more important that we have more activity in voting than in discussing it.
I've shared the information to Indonesian board: https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=328490.0.
Let's hope Indonesian local members will participate soon. Just wait for a longer time, they may be not aware that we have this event! I'm sure they have the intention to vote when they know the information. :)
Anyway, thanks babo and icopress. :)

Funny how I'm just finding out about this contest and ironically it's because it had been pinned I couldn't see it ;D ;D.It is questionable whether pinning threads is the best choice. I also think that old users don't pay attention to pinned topics because they think they've already seen them.
When I enter the forum related or any board I frequent
I usually just go straight to recent threads since I believe I might have read the pinned threads before
What is going on with lazy AltcoinsTalks forum members?
I can see only 11 people voted for Community Awards so far, and I am wondering why others are not doing that instead of posting silly things all the time!
This is especially addressed to old and reputable forum members...
Personally, I have two categories clear, but I still need to think carefully about the rest, which is why I haven't voted yet, and I imagine the same could happen to other users.I actually expected this to an extent though because it's almost pretty much the same with the outcome on Bitcointalk too because if you check, compared to the number of eligible members there the vote count was relatively small though.
Thank you so much. Do the translation when you have time, don't worry. I think the important thing is that local boards (although some have little traffic) also see the things that happen in the forum on a "global scale", that way, with patience, more users will be encouraged to participate.Alright I've been able to actually pull off the translation and though I had been quite busy I was able to get some free time to get it done. Anyways here is the link ;
Please be patient. Note that this is the first time an event of this nature has been held on the forum, and members are not used to it. Users will vote, but as I said, since this is the first time, the voting time could be extended, as I mentioned in one of my previous posts.I am more than patient and this is not my project, but there is a clear deadline for voting even if extended like I suggested, there is no unlimited chill time for this.
I have a similar attitude as dkbit98 in this case. I'm fed up with the inexplicable lack of support from other forum members for this kind of contest. Such a disinterested approach will certainly not help in the further development of the forum, including the introduction of new services with paid signature campaigns. That is what most people are interested in, and it seems to be the only interest.What is going on with lazy AltcoinsTalks forum members?

But if you want to help so much you can donate some coins and increase the reward, maybe that would attract more members ;)

Now that you mention it, I know what I'm going to use the tokens the admin sent me a few weeks ago for ;).This is quite generous of you actually, however I don't think that would significantly improve the traffic brought to the voting. It's a logical thing that people will eventually take it more seriously if the prices were bigger but it would currently only be that effective if prices were to go around 4x or 5x which isn't something I'll recommend.
extending the time seems right to me, we could bring it from 40 to 60 days in order to give everyone time to think about who to vote for and to get used to the idea of the event on this fantastic forumThis would be great too not long ago when I made the translation I just discovered some local board members didn't seem to be aware of the voting initially.
I have a similar attitude as dkbit98 in this case. I'm fed up with the inexplicable lack of support from other forum members for this kind of contest. Such a disinterested approach will certainly not help in the further development of the forum, including the introduction of new services with paid signature campaigns. That is what most people are interested in, and it seems to be the only interest.It seems that even payment is not enough motivation for some people, because Altcoinstalks Community Awards is giving rewards in real money.
This is a very bad signal for any future sponsor.

also please do add the pidgin translation to the main thread
it will surely be doneWell from my local board Nigeria we use it as a general language. I think a couple of other languages have pidgin too as an alternative or informal mode of communication. Naija use pidgin as our local language since basically every ethnic group or language there understands it.
I don't understand what pidgin translation is, if you can explain it to me please I would be very grateful
when I go to translate I can't understand what it is and what meaning it has
try to be patient my english is really bad, thank you for your patience
So far we have gotten only 14 submission which is pretty low in my opinion. I had/have high hope for this event and I thought the number would be much higher. But seeing these makes me a little sad.We can't force members to vote if they don't want to do it, and that includes received financial reward...

I just checked how many active members we have in this forum at the moment, and that number is 66, probably including some bots.
I am not counting 3799 guests, but I am sure many members saw Altcoinstalks Community Awards topic.
From what I see, we have a very different idea of what patience is. I think I should remind you that the change this forum has brought about in one year has been tremendous, and some will say it's not a big deal, but for those of us who have lived through previous years, it certainly is. For that reason (and others) I think patience is crucial, many things must fall into place until all forum users vote in an event like this, the first of its kind.I'm not sure what kind of patience you mean, but the voting deadline is 40 days and I think there are currently 4 or 5 days left until the deadline. There are still only 14 acceptable votes there. I would say, more than a little and quite disappointing, at least from my view of the necessary activities.

Despite our joint effort in local boards (via translation) and global boards (pinned post), we couldn't achieve a good amount of submissions. Personally I have tried my best to get my local folks into voting, quoting them, sending PM's, or mentions and some of them gave their votes.
So I hope all the other members would do the same in their local section. I mean come on guys, all of us knows someone, and that someone knows someone and so on! Can't we get minimum 5 guys from each locality? I don't think that would be so hard.
Also, there are currently several active signature campaigns. And each of these campaigns have at least 10-20 participant minimum. Don't they see, a big event going on for the first time on Altcoinstalk? Together their submissions will surpass 50-100 votes easily. But sadly we have only 14.
Lastly, I have an idea. Why not tell all the campaign managers to include a short message to their participants to give them a heads up regarding this event? This would gradually bring more people here.
-DS :)

To be clear, I am not a big fan of such activities, but if someone invested effort, even money, all for the benefit of the community, I always support it.

true, participation at the moment is not very high but we have to consider
- first time this contest is happening
- the forum is not used to it
- there are fewer of us and it is less frequented and that's fine too
we can extend the voting period to 60 days as already said

Yes, it would certainly help in term of getting new participant, if the voting period were to extended. In the meantime, we should try to promote the event however we can. I understand this is the first time, and people aren't really moving. But I don't see any harm in trying. I have already gotten one person to vote, also some of them said they'll vote, it's just they were very busy. It would pleasant to see a considerable amount of voters.

Because of the financial capacity of the event and if not the positions are not enough or completed. There should be Miss Altcoinstalks, Local Hero, so that women in the forum can also be nominated and participated with full force. And there will and increase of local participation and any local account that has not been active for some setting time or season can't participate.
And after this there should be another events like pie, pizza and pumpkin carving contests so the forum will be busy more and more. And it will make people to be active.

I though there wouldn't be any girls/women at Altcoinstalk considering the fewer active members and activity here than other forums. But I guess, I was wrong. I noticed a few users with the "girls club" badge and they were decently active here. So I can't understand why the organizers didn't choose the miss Altcoinstalk category. Maybe because there was very few eligible candidates. Anyway, let's hope the ACA 2024 would be a success and that the next year we may get more category.
I don't think we should compare the participation of that thread you're referring to with this one simply because you think it's a silly or useless thread.No, I know this is silly and useless time wasting thread, I don't have to think about it.
What do you think about April 15th as the last voting date?This proposal sounds very reasonable to me, but we first need to ask the people who organized and supported Altcoinstalks Community Awards.
exactly 60 days since the voting thread was posted
we would then still have almost 3 weeks to collect signatures

I think admins and monderators should help with promoting voting during this time, without forcing anyone, but maybe with inserting this in few banners.
Banners are a good idea, but only the administrator can do it, moderators do not have that ability.You can help speed things up with asking the admin, if that is not a problem for you.
This is the first version of the Altcoinstalks community award, so I suggest we allow this go naturally without over flogging it. By next year, the interest will increase and we could give reference to today when it was started.Banners are a good idea, but only the administrator can do it, moderators do not have that ability.You can help speed things up with asking the admin, if that is not a problem for you.
Voting banners don't have to be everywhere and they don't have to take a lot of space, he can just make them visible enough in next few weeks.
I don't think this would hurt altcointalks potential profit in any way, more like contrary is true.

can we put a mega banner at the top for 1 week, just the final week?
the goal is to let everyone know that there are the fantastic altcoinstalks community awards, I would say it's worth it for just one week, maybe the last one
Let me know. thank you freemind
What do you think about April 15th as the last voting date?that would be great, at least I'd have an opportunity to vote then.

Banners are a good idea, but only the administrator can do it, moderators do not have that ability.If it's not banner on the homepage
that would be great, at least I'd have an opportunity to vote then. About the advertisement, wouldn't using the news feed be cheaper. With a catchy title like Vote Vote Vote!!!!Not just that I think they should also consider reducing the karma requirements for voting take for example a profile like yours that's fairly active but currently you are still not up to the 50 karma requirement. The result of that based on the rules you are actually not eligible to vote.
Miss altcointalks I think that is one big position that should be considered for the coming community award and I believe the organizers are going to consider this and at some point make sure that everything covers all interests most especially here on Altcointalks where the girls club have a special badge to identify them, so why not if not it a good obsfpr consideration, as part of future event's.Because of the financial capacity of the event and if not the positions are not enough or completed.

And regarding contests, there was one actually where many people participated....Coinomize.biz | Coinomize on the Moon | Art Contest | $2,000+ in prizes! (https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=327621.0)
I just noticed this small thing on top of the chat bar. The fonts are sooooo small that I almost didn't even noticed it was there, Lol. It's great that the admin decided to add this, but it would have been better if the message was a bit larger. I'm guessing many already missed it or would realize that was there after reading my comment! :D
~snip~
It's not a banner, but at least it's in a highly visible location where all users can see it and be encouraged to vote.Thank you for helping with making this happen.
when I write I continue to spam a little everywhere about the fact that there is the community award
I may be unpleasant but at least people will know about it now
I also spammed the link often in the chat :D when I can I do it so everyone knows :D
better for community
We know you don't have any ill intentions behind your actions. In fact, I'm doing the same thing, irritating, disturbing, or DM'ing my local folks to vote, LOL.
We still have 12 days left until voting closes, let's just see how many votes we can get! So far, 23 votes have been casted, which is good enough! ;D
By April 15, we may see 30+ votes, who knows! Fingers crossed!

if we get to 30 it's obviously a great result
I keep bugging people to participate
at least I'll convince another one for sure since I hammer him every day :D ahahah
It's very important so that everyone gets used to understanding that we can do and have the strength to do these contests
@babo, when is the deadline for the vote, it says 40days as of the thread creation, already past my count.
deadline is moved on 15 aprilI think that is more than enough time for everyone to vote if they didn't do it already.

There is no good reason for active member not to spend few minutes of their precious time and cast their votes.
Anyway, thanks babo for starting and supporting first community awards in this forum :)
ah I was thinking of using the bitmover tool
@babo, when is the deadline for the vote, it says 40days as of the thread creation, already past my count.

since there were few members we decided to bring the days to the same days that are used elsewhere on other sites (bitcointalk)
so I would say that the move was right because it often slips away and therefore it happens that the participants are less
I can see very clearly the seen the effort that you have been putting into this voting, but you know the traffic here isn't all that much and for the first competition to have a atleast 30 votes it shows there will be room for growth maybe probably in the next competition. Altcoinstalk is growing everyday and the activeness is getting stronger too and I don't know if can be able to make it in participating in this year contest but am very certain I will also vote next year.
Amazing, I am happy to see my tool being used in such great contest.
Just remember to clearly define what is the order of the users, because the order matters to the tool. It could be ordered by date of posting, for example.
Sorry to ask a little here, because the page is too long so I'm a little lazy to look for what I want to know. heheI will not quote or explain to you, you have to make a little effort yourself to find the necessary information. I would say that everything is clearly explained in the voting thread, it is enough just to open it and read it
Can voters still get rewards like BCA on Bitcointalk? Even though the winner will be chosen randomly.
Just curious about this.
Thank you.

ah so whoever posted first has a better chance of being drawn? I thought the chances were the same for everyone
thanks for your tool anyway i like it and i will definitely use it
just this thing I don't know if others like it or not (honestly it doesn't change anything for me)
Almost got it late, I was looking for this thread cause I got the link from the chat area but the routine clearing wiped it out. But luckily for me I saw it on the Nigeria Board.@babo, when is the deadline for the vote, it says 40days as of the thread creation, already past my count.

I don't deserve to be left out...
But I want to know, is it okay to vote a particular person in more than 1 category?

Chances are the same for everyone.
But the tool will randomly choose a winner based in his order, not based in his name. So if the order is changed, you get different results.
Lets suppose you are rolling 3 people
1- satoshi
2-vitalik
3- finney
Lets suppose the winner determined by the tool was number 2. If you change the order of users, you get a different result.
Hmm that's an interesting note, so the results all depends on the setting of the tool, well no matter because the most important is that everyone has a fair chance at the draw, but am just curious to know what if like you said the other now fall under the category of descending number of submission that would probably not be fair since some guys submitted late or am I missing the whole set up, truth be told it's rather confusing to understand though.
Thanks, I read the rules involved and I also saw votes from others mentioning one person in more than 1 category. So I decided to do same since I didn't get response here the day I casted my own vote.Almost got it late, I was looking for this thread cause I got the link from the chat area but the routine clearing wiped it out.

It doesn't say anywhere that you cannot vote for a particular person in more than one category! So technically specking, you can do that, unless it was written in the rule. But I believe there are more than one eligible members, so I don't see the necessity to nominate same person in more than one category!
In each category you can vote for no more than 3 users / projects. (if you believe if the person deserves to be or worthy of being nominated in multiple categories, then why not :)!)
You must briefly explain why you are nominating someone.
To vote you must have 50 earned karma points
If I counted right, so far we have gotten total 34 votes which is certainly a good sign! We still have 3 days left until the voting session closes, I think we can squeeze a little bit more votes from everyone!
Best of luck everyone, to those who have been nominated. ;)
And thank you to those who gave their precious time to vote in this wonderful event!
I didn't read the whole thread, but I think we're definitely missing a category called "Best spam/scam buster". Of course, we can probably classify some of these people into one of the existing categories, but maybe we can think about this proposal until the next vote.
I don't think so. Looks like, if you were two hours late, your vote wouldn't be counted. Luckily you voted right on time I guess.Don't be so confused as far my observation this altcoinstalk forum time is utc(-2) and that is why you are seeing my post time "April 15, 2025, 09:44:33 PM" instead of "April 15, 2025, 07:44:33 PM"
Your post got registered at "April 15, 2025, 09:44:33 PM" from my point of view, not sure whether it is showing as local or forum time, or what time format! :-X
I have always confused this UTC time format!
Though I am not part of the spam/scam detecting team but if those spammers/scammers are caught they are publicly disgrace so they can stop it but in this forum spam/scam rate is not like other forums so the detectors are like inactive here and if that is added to the event then admin is the one will win that position.I didn't read the whole thread, but I think we're definitely missing a category called "Best spam/scam buster".

true you're right Lucius
but this year we're starting light
next year people know that there will be a contest and consequently they will be more prepared to vote for the people they consider appropriate
so we will definitely add this category without any problem
officially closed, friday i start to count votingCan you lock the thread until you finish counting?
Have locked, OP is welcome to unlock. PM me if issue.
sorry, i have unlocked
we can not lock-unlock based on demand
we lock or we unlock based on long term objective
otherwise we will be requested often to lock and unlock for shorter or longer periods, and that's an additional workload no one wants.
once announcement of winners done, we can lock.
For others, this is the voting thread, please discuss in the discussion thread NOT here > otherwise you'll get negative karma.
If I counted right, so far we have gotten total 34 votes which is certainly a good sign! We still have 3 days left until the voting session closes, I think we can squeeze a little bit more votes from everyone!This number is not that great, but campaign for voting and newly added top bar helped a lot to increase number of people who voted.
the winners are the category winners
The 10 voters who will be drawn will be drawn after Freemind has cleaned the list of bad guys
at the moment those who have been declared are the category winners, of the badges

What do you mean by Bad guys? Those who were nominated but didn't won due to less votes? Or something else? :(
If the first one the case then don't say bad guys lol :P..unqualified would be more fitting term.
I didn't follow the whole discussion, but will the winners of each category get some badges next to their names?
At least some discreet icon would be fine.
Have discussed with admin, they will receive the custom title of the category they won, ie "Forum Hero", "Altcoinstalks Ninja", etc. It'll appear where "Presidential assistant" appears on my profile for example. I did suggest membergroups with badges, but it's not worth it to have such groups for one member, so custom title is preferred by admin. You reminded me to remind admin about this, thanks.This is cool, but it could be to crowded with lot of text stuffed for some members who already have additional titles in their profiles.

For example you already have titles Presidential assistant and Legendary, than there is Teleported and other subtitles.
so you just have to go there to understand who won what, you can find the link in the first post of the threadThank you, I saw it already.
