Topic: [2019] BitcoinTalk's Newbie of the Year [2019] - page 3. (Read 1764 times)

I like the look of this newbie because he asks good questions and listens to the answers.

oh wait he doesn't qualify? maybe he should, idk?

Their current rank isn't important as long as they were newbies some time during 2019.  They could be Jr. Members or higher at this point; again that's not important.

I knew a few newbies who made lot of contribution but I don't think they will be newbies anymore once they are doing some contribution so I suggest you to increase the criteria required up to member rank to pick the right one to be selected as a new member of the year 2019.

It's football season in America.  Real football; men's football; gridiron, pigskins, goalposts, and hard-hitting, corn-fed Americans.  One of the big things the NFL does this time of year is celebrate the accomplishments of the year's new players, who are affectionately refereed to as rookies.

It got me thinking about our forum, and how we receive rookies newbies.  I know most newbies here can be annoying and troublesome, but certainly not all of them.  So I want to have a competition to select, acknowledge, and celebrate the newbies that are here to participate in and contribute to our community.

Of course, I'll need the help of more established members to select the nominees.  One of the reasons I want to do this is get to know some of the newbies with whom I have not interacted.  

This thread will be for nominations, I'll accept nominations for one week until Super Bowl Sunday.  I'll lock this thread exactly 168 hours after posting it, then I'll open a new thread with a poll listing all the nominees.  The polling thread will be used to vote for the nominees and, and the nominee with the most votes will be selected as 2019's Newbie of the Year.  The voting thread will also be open for voting for one week.  

What does the newbie win?  Nothing at the moment, but we can discuss that.  Just the recognition might be helpful, and possibly lead to earning some merits for some of the better posts made.  I don't know if monetizing the competition is such a good idea, but again we can debate that.  I don't want to volunteer Theymos for any more work than he already has, but maybe this is worthy of a "Newbie of the Year" badge.

Here are the rules:

1. You must be a Full Member or higher to suggest a nominee.
2. Don't nominate your own alts, or an account you suspect is an alt of another established member.
3. Nominate as many accounts as you want.
4. Post the username and user ID of the nominee.
5. Include a quote of one of the nominee's "meritable" posts and a short explanation why he deserves the nomination.
6. The nominee must have been a newbie on or after Jan 01, 2019, and promoted to Jr. Member by Dec 31, 2019.
7. Have fun.

We can also discuss the rules, and make changes as the week goes on.
