MOTM Rules - UPDATED

Post by BlueCrush »

MOTM RULES:1) You cannot nominate yourself, someone has to do it for you. A member can only be nominated once each month. Any additional nominations for that same person will not be counted. The first nomination for a particular person is the one that will be used.2) Please give an example or reason for your nomination to others can see why you feel this person should be MOTM. Your example or reason could be the determining factor for your nominee so make it count!! 3) You may only nominate one person per month (See rule 10).4) Once nominated I will send you an IM to inform you.5) The nomination thread will be open at the beginning of each month and ending in the middle of the month at 9pm PST. 6) Voting begins on the day after the nomination thread ends and will close on the last day of the month at 9pm PST.7) If you win MOTM, a period of 1 year must pass before you can be nominated again.8) The winner will be e-mailed a Q&A Word Document that I would like back within 48 hours (if possible) so I can post it in your MOTM winner thread.9) Anyone caught tampering, purposefully swaying, or hacking the vote(s) will be banned.10) Remember this is for fun, no prizes are awarded and you can vote for any of the nominees. However, if you nominate a particular person, you are expected to vote for that person as well.I added rule #3 for clarification.I also removed rule #6: A nominee has the right to refuse his/her nomination. There is a reason you are being nominated. We think you are a valuable member of this forum and one or more other members want to recogonize you for that.

So who is running MOTM and VOTM? I am a bit confused since you are posting a thread about new rules, yet did not hear about anything regarding new rules prior to this?

Bluecrush posted the original rules in 2009. I couldn't think of anything worth changing for the better other then the timing!I'm assuming that youve voted by now ..... but you still have 3 minutes!

i had a thought, what if we carry over members to different months like they used to do when the MOTM first started out, like for example:Quote, originally posted by joatmon on 11/1/2006 »..................................................-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-In October, nominations re-opened and two were submitted, one each for NascarXprt and HawaiiPontiacLover. All nominations were IM'd to the respective nominee. Carry over nominees from the last months (July & August) were also northvibe and zionzr2.HawaiiPontiacLover, northvibe, and zionzr2 are automatically entered into the December MotM contest. (HPL also into the January contest) All of these came really close to winning this month (within a random 1/50th of a second) and all deserve to win, but there can be only one................................To nominate a fellow genvibe member for Member of the Month, fill out the simple Genvibe MotM Ballot formi may think about adding this to the VOTM section too.

I see what you're saying. Gives the nominated Vibes a little more time in the limelight as well. This way they're REALLY looked at and appreciated, thus allowing for a more educated vote. ....or something like that I like the idea

The second-chance rule: Non-winning MOTM contestants will automatically be re-entered into next months poll however they will only be carried over for one month. example: 06pvibe beat rasermon in January's vote so rasermon will be carried over into February but win or lose he will not be carried over into the march vote unless someone nominates him.
