I am not quite sure if anyone even tried to campaign here but since I am not too active on the international forum, I'd like to introduce myself a bit.

After being nominated by 1miau and MinoRaiola for the Discovery of the Year I thought I'd give it a try.

Last year didn't start too good for me as I was still pretty new and applied for the 1xbit Signature Campaign when I was at the "Member" rank, unknowing of the trouble that would bring me in.

After this has been sorted out, I became more and more active on the german board and soon reached the Full Member Rank. Around that time a place in the Roobet Signature Campaign was open and after eyeballing that campaign since I registered here, Hhampuz accepted my application on my first try. I was so excited that I even designed my own avatar, inspired by the hats on the wallobserver thread and another german member (cygan) that also has his own avatar for the freebitco.in campaign.
This was an amazing feeling as I was now more and more active here and even doing my own giveaways/raffles to give back to the guys that supported me along the way.

Autumn/winter came by and I reached Senior Member Rank which I would not have thought I would be able to do in 2021.
As of today I am already half way through to being a Hero Member which gets me excited even more.

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.

Thanks for reading this

He wakes up after a year of inactivity and goes straight to the 1xbit signature campaign thread? This explains a lot, including this shitpost.

I think some users are waiting until last minute to cast their votes maybe cause a tie or a tiebreaker. Who knows? icopress what happens if there is a tie btw? Will there be two winners? I see no category for the Artificial intelligence in our community it may seem as though they have integrated well in society and fooled us into thinking they are human. I’m talking about LoyceV and DdmrDdmr they are the only AI I’m aware of for now, it will be fun to see which of them wins a face-off. Skynet versus skynet

eh, how come only you didn't think of that.
btw. What is the point of this useful statement?

OP made new tread about Bitcointalk Community Awards 🏆 and have reward for answering this tread like choose some vote member and give them achievement? I see OP got many feedback after creating this tread with his points merit received.

Thanks for the comment, I will take your opinion into account ... but you and you should understand that creating and regularly updating such a list seems to me quite problematic (unless, of course, you are not Mr. Robot, not to mention the fact that each voter has the opportunity to edit his answer).

Even if there was such a list, the first 10 who voted would set the pace for the entire voting.  

You are very kind! OP updated!

Ed: Btw, franky1, as a true Anti-Hero, voted for himself, moreover, he also tried on the corresponding avatar 

LoyceV has already pointed out, this won't work, since each participant can change their vote at any given time. Keeping such a list up-to-date in real time would be difficult, and besides, it would result in needless favoritism of certain candidates.

@icopress, here is a link to the discussion thread on the Croatian local board, in case you want to include it in the announcement post:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bitcointalk-community-awards-2021-5382997

Personally, as a voting participant, it would be more clear for me to see the list of candidates with the current number of those who voted for them. Perhaps such information could prompt me to change my choice to another candidate.

That is why I said sending unsolicited PMs to a large number of members is bad idea. I am not saying zasad@ deserves a negative tag in this particular case, since he probably did so inadvertently, but there is no doubt that the rules were broken, and he probably apologized for that later on.


Agreed. Anyone interested in participating in this initiative is probably already aware of it. Moreover, there are other ways to "spread the word" that are much less intrusive.

How exactly would this violate the contest rules? "Faketoshi" is a perfectly good answer like any other.
It's no big deal, even if you don't like the sound of it.


I've moved the discussion here from the Voting topic in accordance with the local rules.

That won't work:

@icopress
Are you thinking of creating a list of those who have already received votes or are you not going to have that list?

No, not always the one who sends an invitation to PM deserves a negative tag. I'll be more specific. Some time ago, an interview was conducted with forum users. Out of good intentions, the interview organizer sent personal invitations to everyone. And one day he got a negative tag from a DT member.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=2654005
The man felt he was being forced to take part. It took a while to change the review to neutral. Why bother once again people who are not ready to do something?
I also agree that this vote should be free participation. If someone does not want to write there, do not force him. Moreover, META is the central place of the forum, which most of the participants know about. And all the events there are unlikely to go unnoticed.

Why would he do that? Honestly, if someone sends me PM about something like this, I would be really annoyed and probably wouldn't even vote, even if I initially planned to. Additionally, threads in Meta and Reputation are constantly close to the top of the boards so anyone that is even remotely interested in voting will eventually see it. Give it a time, some are probably having issue deciding so they are still waiting. Same thing happened to me last year.

I am unsure that ever happened. Anybody who gets a negative tag for sending unsolicited PMs is probably deserving of it.

As for your proposal, you are free to do it yourself. You can send PMs to your friends or members you are close with, I don't believe anyone will tag you or report you to a moderator for that. However, sending mass PMs to a large number of random forum members with whom you have no previous contact is not recommended.

- The existing notifications in this event are more than enough.
- I will not invite anyone to vote, just because most of those who I would send a message to would be embarrassed to refuse me.

After all, we are talking about voluntary voting? Right? 

Can we expect exceptions in certain cases even though I've actually read about it in the unofficial rules?

If all cases of sending PMs to multiple users can be considered as unsolicited PM's, then I really believe not many people would dare send PMs to other users for a good cause if not asked. It's true that trust systems are not moderated but when they use that power to tag someone in good faith ^{[like informing them of the existence of this thread]} then that power should be revoked. Other than that I'm not urging the OP to do it, it's just a suggestion from me. 

Don't do that, it's against the rules:
I remember a DT-member leaving negative feedback in a similar case. If you PM enough people, some of them won't appreciate it.

PM some users who are not currently participating in that voting thread, I think it will save you more time to get at least 200 votes from different users.
The forum also raised user awareness after the news section was announced about this vote, so maybe PMing to some users would also help a lot. This is just a suggestion, you decide.

So far there are 95 users who have participated in the thread based on ninjastic.space. It will up soon, but may slow down a bit if there isn't much of a push.

We are at 80+ votes and we have 28 days left.
