I just noticed icopress refers to itself als "it" Cheesy
For information in nature, there are three types of sexual reproduction: isogamy, heterogamy, and oogamy  Roll Eyes

That's OK. We don't judge. As long as you don't refer to yourself in the third person, you'll be fine.

... icopress will be very angry and will not count your vote.

Goddamn it!

The more interesting part is why they all make the same mistake in voting for "Cygen". I'm curious how icopress will handle those votes.
After blocking the thread, icopress will have to spend at least a day or two counting the votes to be as objective as possible (ignoring the votes of copy-paste, spammers, newbies, and anyone else he sees fit). I would even say that there are rumors that if you do not vote for 🦊, icopress will be very angry and will not count your vote.

Please note... this is not a threat, but just a peaceful and permitted agitation.  Cheesy

I've seen BobK71 around, he used to make very interesting posts, until the account changed ownership and became a shitposter.

Dear bitcointalk community. I'm afraid we're being deceived. I'm afraid that this Bitcointalk Community Awards 2021 competiton is muddy. Oh my god, it seems to me that this is a competiton of farms

Just watch how they hand out stacks of merit to their voters

Theymos I think that merit distributing should be banned in this competition! Just look what these cheaters are doing!

This means that we would need to have some two tier voting systems and most of the local sections are not active enough for something like that.
To avoid complications, what we could do is to nominate and select one overall best user for each active local section, for each year, and I would support that idea.
We could also pick one best and most local member from all local sections, or something like that... this could also motivate new members to be more active.

I'm not entirely sure the best way of going about it. I just think it's something that's worth considering for future votes if this was to become a yearly thing for the foreseeable future. The only users that know the best user would be the local communities themselves, so they would have to get their heads together, vote for someone, and then present that to OP.

Though, logistically you're probably right, that narrowing the local section nominations down to "Local section hero" per local section or something along that lines is probably better, than having all roles available for voting per local section.

Almost seems like some people just nominate the ones that have given Merits to other people voting for them.
As bad as it makes me feel, I will also not give any Merits to people voting for me.
Also I am pretty sure the vouchers are an even bigger motivation for them to just vote vor someone.
Undoubtedly, is a factor in some votes. Unfortunately, there's no real way of mitigating it, unless you did votes that were anonymous, however that opens another can of words. Anyway, has stated already it's a drop in the ocean compared to the amount that these users require to rank up. So, its not like someone is going to rank up their alt farm this way or even their account that they just do bounties on.

LOL, are some of you aware that some of the users who started posting votes in the voting thread in the last few pages are spam posters trying to get some merit easily just citing a few merit source?  Grin
I noticed that too. This high Activity bounty spammer turned Jr. Member because of this post. At least mole0815 noticed it too:
Unfortunately, I overdid it with the merit distribution when there is a mention.

All in all it's only a few Merit amongst thousands of bounty spammers. They can't scale it to many more, if they do it will be noticed.

That won't work for shitposters:
Yeah, I am very well aware of the requirements that has to be met to get that voucher but that doesn't mean shitposters are, hence so many came to vote. Hopefully some of them copy/paste other members votes and get rekted. Cheesy

There's another reason why they come to vote without probably knowing any of the names that's been thrown around and that's vouchers of 2 mbtc that 10 lucky voters gonna get.
That won't work for shitposters:
10 vouchers of 2 mBTC each will be randomly drawn. ➥ Note.

You must have 50 merit or be a full member or higher to vote ➥ Note.

Pretty much the same thing happened last year so that's why I hoped that members will sustain meriting those that give them votes as it may only bring shitposters who would just about anything for a couple of merits. Then again, some were so lazy that they copied other member's posts word for word, including the typos so they (IIRC) ended up banned, making that voting thread sort of honey pot.

I don't think sending them merit is anything but wrong, but I'm sure some of them will succeed in deceiving managers by naming some of the merits they've earned in the last 120 days to be accepted into the campaign. Turns out I was wrong, before I thought spam posters didn't dare enter the meta to get merit. LOL

Thank you, icopress, for appreciating my efforts to keep forum clean. I have to be honest here -- it's something that recently happened and determined me so much. I also used to do thousands reports in the past, but not like now. I mean, in 2020 I made ~4-5000 reports. In 2021 I made 13.000+. But since beginning of 2022 I made almost 20.000 (good) reports, in just one month and a few days. I hope to be able to keep this pace for as long as possible.

Looool, I bet they do. For sure, Welsh hates me  Grin I think that he handled most of my reports.

Anti-hero and spambuster rolled into one... great idea for a nomination. Tongue

Hahahhaha! That would be one of its kind!

simply translate the competition categories and then link to the main competition thread for the vote.
explaining how to vote in a way anyone can understand in any language
all that is important is a number/image(category) and a name. anyone can easily understand, in any language

11: franky1

just need to translate it so directions are for instance

multiple language explanation for how to vote for anti-hero would be tag:
11 or : franky1

..
unless you mean the sub community that might be smaller but they have a favourite, but that favourite wont ever win anything because the only 5 people that know them wont vote 20+ times to overshadow a prominent main forum person that has 20+ votes already

by which. maybe try to see what regions the sub forums are in and see what merchants and services operate in that region and try getting them to sponsor a local competition for the region. EG welsh (as staff) can organise his own multicultural competition in april

Unfortunately, users that predominately post in their local section are likely at a disadvantage. It might actually be better if the local sections did their own sort of nominations within a thread in their local sections, but restricted to users that only participate in the local section. That might make it a little more realistic, since I imagine that those that post in the main English Bitcoin sections get a lot more exposure.
This means that we would need to have some two tier voting systems and most of the local sections are not active enough for something like that.

If anyone feels like supporting me, I would appretiate it so much if you would nominate me for the discovery of the year but I do understand that there are so many users in this forum with so much knowledge that it is probably unrealistic for me to win especially being more active on the german forum part.

Don't know if that's something that local communities would be interested in, but it might make it a little bit easier for people to reward local section users without being stacked against other users that have further exposure. Could potentially liaise with icopress to get the nominated users in the local section put in the announcement of the winners. 

I'm all for promoting different ways of encouraging users to contribute positively to the forum.

updated: UK midday 7th feb 2022. i counted up the votes of antihero (my fav category, cheers)

and i tallied up, so far
1xbit:33
franky1: 28
jollygood: 13
nullius: 10
elon: 6
lauda: 5
faketoshi: 4
the rest only had 1 or 2.

an anti-hero is not the villain
im not a boyscout hero, i dont sit around campfires patting people on the back telling each other comforting stories when they get things wrong. and ill never change, i'll call out BS when needed. to any level. i dont fear giving the harsh truth when needed.

so is there anyone making utopian dream unachievable promises about things that need my harsh wording, anyone that needs to be corrected. any group that appears to be ass kissers that need putting in their place?

i think i need to earn top spot in this category, i dont even want the financial reward, i just like the avatar and want to earn it
