Umm.. seeing that he just posted below your post I believe he was not banned, or not yet. Let's see how things will develop though... If he's lucky enough he'll end up just with having one post deleted, which is not hard to live with. However, even if it will be so, I think he learned his lesson.

Just curious though: why did you make the post? Since you had clearly absolutely no reason to vote (otherwise you would certainly spend some time to think about who to nominate) why did you make that post?

Excepting the above question, have you ever considered of implications of such behavior in case dozens of users would do it? Imagine someone would nominate multiple users which would not deserve to be nominated and after that a dozen copy-paste his vote. This could lead to (1) having an incorrect winner (or more) and / or (2) to have the one counting votes spending a lot of precious time in vain, just to analyze copy-pasted votes in order to not count them.

Seriously, why act like this? For what purpose?

I apologize for my unintentional mistake which was not made with the intention of gaining any advantage. It was simply due to my laziness and I would be grateful if you could forgive me.

 Thank you for taking the time to consider my request.

The Report is marked Good, the post deleted:
The user hasn't been banned, but hasn't posted either, so there could be a temporary ban.

Lol!


As I said in my earlier post,


So don't worry, the original poster's nominations are legit. The problem is that some are really too lazy and, for making more posts or for whatever weird reason they may have, they just copy what others nominated, without realizing that by doing so they also influence the results of the competition. And, excepting that the idea itself is weird and unethical, it may also impact some candidates which will receive multiple votes only because someone is too lazy to think about who he thinks is more suitable to a certain category.

Thank you for the good intentions Now most of the work is done. But if there will be an overwhelming situation in the future, I'll remember your offer.

Oooops that escalated quickly Oo I was barely trying to say something funny in my earlier post, about reporting for plagiarism, initiating of a flag and negative feedback.

Nevertheless, it actually is plagiarism, although it's a very dumb one I did not actually think to do all those actions. But anyway, it was unfair what the user did, this can't be denied. Let's see the resolution of the report now. This may create a precedent for future contests and, in case the report will be marked as Good and a penalty will be applied to the user then this may be a good incentive for everybody to avoid copy-pasting even it the context is a contest on the forum.

I wouldn't be so sure that one plagiarized post from a high ranking account will mean an instant ban. Few years ago it would be, but nowadays not so much as mods became more lenient.

I don't know but reporting the post will definitely end up in a ban.  

Admins will see the report and it will be a straightforward case of copy paste.

Too bad for Sayeds56 such a stupid mistake can cost him this much.

Tagging him so he will be notified I don't know if he can justify this but I'm feeling sorry for him.

There's no reason for your vote not to be counted as he is the one who copy/pasted yours.


+1

Tagging and flagging might be an overkill for this case. This laziness deserves to be punished though so I think that something like a temporary sig ban would be adequate.

I understand perfectly!

I don't know how you guys are collecting the data. But if you need any help, just say so.
But, that's not important right now. We can look into this later if you want to be clear. 

OMG that's the height of laziness from a Hero Member, com’n Sayeds56 you can do better.

Question both votes are not counted? or my vote will be counted??

I'd say: report the post for plagiarism, but don't tag the account. There was nothing to gain by voting, so it's not like he cheated a contest.

Update: I reported the post.

Loooooooool! Only if it would be that easy... heh

About plagiarism -- should I also report it in the adequate thread + give negative feedback and initiate a flag against the plagiarist?

Umm... I think it would be a very difficult work to do it. If you take a look at the result from 2021 or 2020 you can also see that not all nominees were listed. Only those with at least 3 votes.

On the other side, I think it can be implemented a "code - /code" sequence at the bottom of the topic and list there (obviously, without hyperlinks) the names of all other nominees which are not listed in the upper part, meaning those which had 1 or 2 nominations.


Thanks, I'll do my best!

Will you present the list of all nominees for each category?

Regardless of the answer, do not do anything now that will interfere with the output of the results.
Keep up the good work, as we are all looking forward to the results. 

Thank you Gazeta for this incredible work! I cannot think how efficient and convolute is your AI driven scraping tool that automatically get the votes, checks the profile requirements, updates the charts and checks for plagiarism!

I understand that everybody is eager to see the results and I am glad to see this wish expressed   Trust me, I am also very eager to see the results posted   We are almost there! In a few days results will be posted.

Until then I will share some statistics and interesting things about current votes!

- this year we had 166 unique users nominated for 10 categories. Excepting them, some were also nominated as being event or fail of the year Oo

- the greatest number of nominations received by a user was 87

- the biggest difference between a first place and a second place was 62 votes

- franky1 tried to abuse the system, by meriting 2 of those who nominated him as antihero, in order to have less votes at this category (facepalm)

- some users had their votes denied for breaking the "no-merit rule" (such examples are minerjones, which has 2 votes unaccounted, for giving merits to those nominating him (link 1, link 2) or ChiBitCTy, which has one vote denied, for same reason (link))

- votes of Atikah92, BTC_Mouse, burugcrypto, PaperWallet, Popkon6, halim50_ and Rbolisna were not counted, as they have less than 50 merits

- 5 votes for satoshi, 4 for Lauda and 1 for asu were also not counted, due to their inactivity

- some mentions of event / fail of the year were also not counted, as they written with words which did not make any sense ("FAILED TO EARN AND HOLD 1btc", "Situación Actual", "Cancel Culture on social media", "Some exchanges are at war", "Get Your Funds Out of Exchange", "BUY THE DIP AND HODL")

- some votes for nominees which had their name written wrong were merged together (Lafu & Lafu01, Majestic_milf & Majestic_miff, The Sceptical Chymist & The Pharmacist, Timelord2067 & TimeLord, fillippone & Phillippone etc.)

- obvious case of copy=paste votes, such as the ones from the example below, won't be counted anymore:



It's no point to be that lazy, to simply copy-paste a previous vote. Obviously, such cases may be hard to spot, especially if a voter from page 9 of the voting topic will copy someone which posted at page 1 or 2. Still, if such cases will be spotted, the one which copy-pasted will have the votes denied (the votes are still eligible for the initial poster, as this one has nothing to do with the fact that his post was copy-pasted later).

Having that said, I think that in the next few days we'll have final results!  

Everything will be fine. Good things take time. Even if it takes more than two weeks, it wouldn't be bad. The whole counting takes time and everyone wants it to be correct. So they have all the time in the world. Nobody is angry if it takes longer. 

These two weeks are too long. Still two days to go? 

Fixed, thank you. The difference is very small between "Spam" and "Scam"

I am sorry, my dear Rikafip... perhaps you missed my earlier post...

---

Looooooooooool!

Hihi! Perhaps I could add you to the statistics, as The most innocent runner-up: Maus0728, which did not know (even one year later!) that he ended on second place at Craft Master category


I am glad I was able to make you happy!

Even though this isn't the most recent statistics, I was nonetheless quite surprised by the outcome of the last Bitcointalk community awards. If you hadn't mentioned me, I wouldn't have known that I came in second

However, it's wonderful to see my name on the list because it makes me feel happy that my artwork has at least had some impact on the community and has been appreciated.

You know Gazeta is a strange breed. He always count things: plastic bottles, couches, cycled merits...

Lol! I do beet you can recycle the votes for 2023 contest.

Oh ffs...and I was even thinking why is he already counting votes if its not over yet. Procrastination is a serious sickness.
