Fair enough and good luck. Wait till you get the first person who nominates themselves who you don't agree with ( or better yet everyone doesn't agree with) such as say Buttcoin.org  or something what are you going to do?  My system allowed people to freely nominate as much as  freely erase who they think shouldn't be nominated and at some put "cut it off" or "last man standing" so to speak.

My poll is about as un-biased as you can get and maybe missed/inaccurate on one or two things but rather have that then being a biased based award system like yours is going to turn out to be . To be clear anyone and ample amount of time  to contacted me prior to listing it up to vote if things weren't accurate. In your poll won't allow that.   Just my 2 cents and like I said good luck!

I know what OP was trying to do and I truly commend them for it. Unfortunately, as could be expected  with a forum newbie trying to organize an awards ceremony based on historical data that only a veteran user would know from experience, this poll has turned out unimpressive to say the least.

Under normal circumstances I would just troll the OP, push them to correct their mistakes, and offer my assistance privately, but in this special case that the OP has refused to correct course I have decided to step up.

Feel free to continue to participate freely, but let it be known that BitTalk.TV is hosting our own awards ceremony that will be broadcast on BitTalk.TV announcing the winners. We are in no rush to hurry and for this reason we will allow a full two weeks for entries.

Since this particular award thread seems to more focused on giving away bitcoins to anyone willing to participate than actually doing a good job creating a fair contest, we will focus on rewarding individuals the proper way.

To combat cheating, add value to the votes, raise money for charity, and ensure that only serious bitcoiners are participating in the contest as contestants or voters, a microtransaction will to a specified bitcoin address will be necessary. This amount will differ slightly for those nominating themselves.

All finalists of the BitTalk.TV Best of 2011 contest in each category will:

1) be published in the BitTalk.TV magazine's January issue;
2) be broadcast in a special presentation on BitTalk.tv;
3) receive a free year subscription to the BitTalk.TV magazine (est. $30 value)
4) receive a FREE casascius coin in the mail!

The categories will be soft-listed on the official forum thread. Feel free to petition for additional categories if you believe it is appropriate.

Good luck to everyone!

Hope you get them.

I can see why you are 2nd place for worst forum member  Looks like the only winning around here will be you!

Thanks and you're welcome. If you did send some bitcents lemme know I didn't see it arrive.

bitcoinbetas wins the award for running the most successful scam

Nice idea and the site works well.  Thanks for doing this.  I just sent a wee bit to the fund.

I believe Astana was moved in and out a couple of times.

Also a mid-week [bump]  the votes are close ! so keep voting!

Astana has been removed from the list of Worst Forum Member of the Year, I remember to see him on the list.

First, I'm not going to be able to get every developer ( wasn't up to me duh its called "nominees" for a reason) and obviously not everyone put those in so of course someone is going to get left out and your going to complain about it right ? Secondly, my moderation was only the obvious ( Grant it I don't know much about pools ) I wasn't going to "research" every entry and sure as hell wasn't going to ask everyone again what is right in wrong since its all subjective anyways. Also, like I said this isn't a scientific poll even if I did include a dead poll who cares I wanted as much humor in it as possible also if that is trolling then don't vote!  

Leaving out the most popular pools, high profile developers, etc while including dead pools, etc, is not moderation. If you made a decision to do so, it's basically trolling. If you didn't make a decision (I think you mentioned you just took it as-is at some point), it's unmoderated.

I never said I was a perfect Moderator ? and I never said I wasn't moderating it ?  I just have no say in what should be included and what shouldn't its not up to me it was up to you all. On obvious things I did my best.

Saying you're doing one thing (moderating it) while doing the opposite (not moderating it) is NOT transparent.

LOL I try ....thanks! 

LOL awesome poll.

back-ups = revisions tracking that google docs has and once in awhile I saved a copy but every time I went back people have erased to many things I had to go with some something.

edit: Keep in mind its a double edge sword if "locked it down" with  who I thought should be there  someone surely would complain regardless or let everyone at least have a chance to put in who they think ( whether accurate or not)  I would be damned either way so I went with one of the lesser of two evil's and stuck with a transparent method.
