If I recall correctly, Foxup won the female category some time ago; how do you nominate someone whose gender is unknown to 95% of the voters? After antihero, this is the most useless category.
At least for Foxpup it's known (because profile information is important to look up 
) and that's once again a reason to set up all details in your Account. 
Maybe we will get a few more gender categories for next year, like cats (Bitcointalk cat) or similar.
At least you guys have something in common. When did I ever have myself included into crafting? Am I posting to the wrong boards, and I haven't figured it out yet?
I've been nominated at least 2 times as Craft Master as well, while I don't know why exactly but maybe, this category is considered as "wildcard". - Craft Master: BlackHatCoiner
- Craft Master: BlackHatCoiner
Maybe we can also introduce a "wildcard" category next time.
You must have 50 earned merits to vote
why is it called the community awards when some set of people are not allowed to vote?
I feel the same too because it is discrimination and irrelevant. You want to tell us that only those who have gotten that 50 merits are the real members or most intelligent ones of this forum? To say the truth, nobody should be treated that way because of merit load.
Therefore, adding a (relatively low) Merit requirement is our best solution to enable broad participation while still getting rid of (most) abusers.
