Request: Renomination / public nomination for LPF Awards

[Hahninator]

I honestly think the lists this year are crap. I know it probably sounds like I'm mad about what I got nominated for, and I am, but to me it seems like the lists don't really make sense. I can elaborate if you want. I think it's also pretty bad that mods do the nominating. This is the LPF Awards, not the Mod Awards of LPF. The public should be able to nominate people. I think that's the only fair way to do it.

Some people are just as active as others and jesus christ some people got nominated 6 or 7 times.

Everyone was like 'zomg LPF Awards 06 are coming' and I'm like 'sweet, I'll figure out who I should nominate' and then wtf I see the thread and there's lists of people already up Why can't we just redo it all over again and let people nominate for the awards?

 

[FireHawk]

yeah i am unhappy myself i think certain people need nominated for certain things (and no this dosen't include me not being nominated i am fine with that its just there are repeats in like every category)

 

[Stenners]

They should have had a peoples choice award lol

 

[FireHawk]

yeah it should be based on members choice not just mods

 

[Hahninator]

definetely. the lists are repetitive...

 

[Stenners]

It may be the case but award lists do tend to be repetetive and generally its the person or whatever with the most exposuer that gets choosen.

But u do have to realise its just a stupid bit of fun and not much more then that and shouldn't been taken sooo seriously at the end of the day.

ya just a popularity contest

 

[Phranka]

mm don't agree with all of them either..

 

[Stenners]

Just leave it to the next one, its too much bother to restart now and ur sort of undermining all the work put into the selection process i happen to know it took them alot of time to decide lol.

 

[NoEnd]

I picked yes but, you know what, this is all just for fun. Also, I'm not as active as you on this forum so I wouldn't know who to pick for "Best Couple" or "Funniest Member" ect... so it wouldn't be fair to the members like me who aren't as involved as the others.

You make it seem like you're ungreatful, it probably took them ages to actually finalize the lists.. if the people were to nominate it'd be a headache from hell. Are you suggesting that the members nominate andt he mods vote? Because you can't have the whole boards nominate, and then have the whole boards vote, that's just.. dumb.

In most cases, awards are chosen by the higher reps of whatever system it is, then voted on by the peons. That's how it is here.

Way to not appreciate their hard work.

I dont really care HONESTLY


Last year I got **** and I was fairly "popular" on this forums this year i got a buttload of nominations and if anything I became more of a legend then a popular person...so I think its in a sense fair...I mean the award nominations are listed accordingly and I can't think of one I truely disagree with if anything the cutest couple or best fanfic becuase 9.11 didnt get picked but I mean yea its fine with me

Look man, I understand in part why you'd want to change this. I've seen similar things on other forums, with member nominations. That does however not change the fact that this is how it goes on this particular forum.
This format might look clique-ish and elitist at times, as we're far from perfect, but all I can tell you is that the mods put all their effort in trying to be fair and neutral in nominating.

As to all the work we've put into this. Yes, the mods have been planning, nominating and setting this up since last January. Mouse for example has been told on more than one occasion I think that he's working too hard on this. It's not something we pulled out of a hat like that. From that point I really don't appreciate us being undermined like that. And Mark, I'm especially amazed by this with you being a newscaster. You've read and taken part in the discussion we've had in the mod section, and now you come and ask where you could nominate and wish to rebel this whole thing and redo it? You could've voiced concerns in the mod section from the very beginning of this.


Other than that...this is a forum award, not the Nobel Peace Prize. This whole thing, including nominations and of course final vote resault shouldn't be taken too seriously.
If you're unhappy, ignore it. Let those who wish to, have fun with this. That's what it's all about.


LOCKED.

Why can they not redo it? They've been working on it since January. Stop being a little ingrate and just leave it be.

 

[Hahninator]

[Hyper]

Then it doens't matter. Stop bitching.

 

[Hahninator]
