🇺🇦 Glory to Ukraine!
In the award there is Miss Bitcointalk.
Why is there no Mr. Bitcointalk?
Because awards are customarily only given to those who are exceptional in some way, and Bitcointalk users who are (or at least are believed to be) female are, regrettably, the exception to the norm. Sad

The question here is: how do you know through a generic username if you are male or female?

The question here is, does it really matter?

I think some people take this matter too seriously. By the same logic, we can reevaluate every other category on the list.
In my opinion, the goal of this campaign is not to discuss and analyze the gender of the forum members, but to encourage activity and have some fun in doing so. Don't you think so?

For example @foxpup is a name that I can't tell if the user is male or female. Unless the user identifies himself.
A guy may not really like eating taco because of their high fat and cholesterol content, but a girl usually prefers this type of food. First Foxpup identification, done.

Foxpup, don't kick my ass.  Lips sealed

After all, who identified me as a man?  Tongue

Of course, there are names that can be deduced that it is a man or a woman, but if we analyze it well, we will see that in most cases it is not possible to distinguish.

If I had not added this nomination, I would have been called a sexist.  Undecided

Although I agree with this statement.

Or is any of the award titles an equivalent to Mr Bitcointalk?

I'm talking about "Best Bounty Manager". Maybe add another title?
As I wrote last year:

that's the problem with Voting like this: it's more of a Recognition award than an award for actual accomplishments.
When it comes to "bounty managers", I expect the most active one to get most votes, while the campaign manager who rejects spammers won't be loved. Then again, bounty spammers usually don't have Merit so they can't vote.
Thank you for your clarification. I also had doubts about what criteria to evaluate them, but it was worth trying with the proposal of the idea.

[...] I'm talking about "Best Bounty Manager".
Even if you do not take into account that there is already a Craft Master category, do not forget that there are not so many managers on the forum, so the category you actually proposed would exist for one or two people, [just read the description and you will understand that there is no need for an additional category].
Thanks for clarifying. Forgive me my inattention. You are absolutely right and convinced me. A separate category would be redundant.

I looked at the names of the nominations in this contest, but did not see the important title for almost every forum participant. I'm talking about "Best Bounty Manager". Maybe add another title? Bounty managers have been an integral part of bitcointalk for many years, and it would not be superfluous to nominate and encourage them too. Why not. 
This is already included in a Craft Master category as you can see in explanation below.
It's not only limited to managers but also to escrow, designers, etc, and you can see that most people voted for managers.
I already figured it out and thank you too.

We will assume that from now on my proposal to add a new category "Best Bounty Manager" is invalid due to the fact that there is already a category "Craft Master".

We tend to think that this award is best suited to the most significant figure among collectors, managers, escrows, designer or users who are so passionate about sports and p2p that they motivate others to bets solely in BTC.

Similar situation with the moderators. There's plenty of moderators which are putting one hell of a shift in consistently behind the scenes, but aren't publicly participating in discussions with the community, at least not as much as others which means they miss out on the votes. So, naturally users gravitate towards the more vocal moderators. It would be a better measurement if theymos released the amount of actions moderators have taken in x amount of days, though I doubt that'll happen.

do not forget that there are not so many managers on the forum, so the category you actually proposed would exist for one or two people, [just read the description and you will understand that there is no need for an additional category].
Technically, I'd probably argue the same for the "Miss Bitcointalk" since most users will likely be secretive of this gender or could be faking it since it seems the internet age has encouraged that sort of behaviour. I'll probably be leaving that one blank when it comes to voting.

I would have expected the opposite to avoid abuse. I'm just thinking I have enough sMerit to send 50 Merit to at least 30 users who vote in my favour Lips sealed
LoyceV, unlike you, I'm not a robot, since I'll be counting the votes after the thread is blocked. Yes, I can filter, but honestly I don't want to keep track of who and when got a couple of merit, and even if I didn't think that all the nominated candidates are pretty honest ... then I would agree with ETFbitcoin's opinion that such frauds are easy to track, therefore, a few merit received in the voting thread is unlikely to affect the barrier of 50 merit.

It is now too late to add a nomination when the competition is already underway. But there will be a lot of time before the 2022 vote and this can be discussed later.

Is it the reason you store lots of personal merit?
You got me, I've been planning this for years!

There should be an Award for the user most mentioned in all categories combined Cheesy

I was thinking more or less the opposite: theymos deserves the Fail of the Year award for sending Bitcoin to the wrong address Tongue Even though obviously it can happen to the best, it can still serve as a warning to thoroughly check each transaction before sending. Usually that warning is for Newbies, but it turns out experienced users need to be reminded once in a while too.
Actually, that's a good point.

[Narrator] And, that was the day that LoyceV won in every category in the 2021 Bitcointalk awards, but the fail of the year, despite not even being eligible for some. Any attempt to stop them was futile.

I don't want to influence people's votes too much, but I was wondering how many users would nominate EZ0010 for one of the awards

new users especially seem to build up certain users as gods for a lack of a better term
Boy was I wrong as a Newbie!

I will try to be very flexible and make a few exceptions to the rules (for example, if the user gets 50 merit after they voted).

@m2017, @igehhh, @Rikafip

@icopress said that it is definitely alright to skip some of the categories that you are not sure which member is fit to that specific area, in fact, skipping is way better than blindy nominating people with the majority of the votes.


And where are users suggested and where are the votes cast?

I agree, that it is not mandatory for everyone to have to choose users in all categories.
In fact, selection should be made by users who are most actively involved in each category.
Otherwise, the choices can be made in a random way, and not in a more coherent way.

I'm having the same issue, therefore I'm wondering if there's any way someone might skip some categories because I have no idea who or what to place as event of the year/fail event of the year. Is it necessary to fill up all of the categories?
icopress will correct me if I am wrong, but I don't think that it's mandatory to nominate members in all categories. Simply fill those that you are comofrtable with and that's about it. I might even leave some categories empty too, if I won't be able to find adequate candidates.

icopress will correct me if I am wrong, but I don't think that it's mandatory to nominate members in all categories.
Should the encouragement of this post by icopress "merit" be regarded as a positive answer to the question?

I would also like to leave some categories empty, because at the moment I don't know who I can suggest. For example, I was not interested in the topic of scams, so I don’t know who to choose for Best ScamBuster. I do not want to propose candidates just to fill the slot.

I believe that it is necessary to propose only those candidates who fit into the framework of the competition conditions and categories. And not so that just to name someone who has nothing to do with the nomination.

Perhaps, before the end of the voting, I will have time to study a little the topics in which I have gaps and will be able to fill in all the fields.

One of the requirements to submit a vote is to be a Full Member or have 50 merits. Are you making any distinctions between airdropped and earned merits? I think earned merits should be considered but maybe a lower minimum. I would take a lower-ranked member with 50 earned merits over an active Legendary who hasn't earned any since the merit system got implemented any day of the week.
Since I am using the BPIP extension, I can see how much merit one or another user has earned, including those that were received by default, so when counting votes, all these aspects will be taken into account. However, I will try to be very flexible and make a few exceptions to the rules (for example, if the user gets 50 merit after they voted). And at the same time, it is more strict with the votes of those who formally have the right to vote (for example, users involved in 1xBit or those who have been seen in slanderous plots, ardent spammers, etc). I hope I was able to satisfy your curiosity.  Tongue

I need clarification, does that mean full member or higher with 0 merit eligible to vote?
True ... but I added a note saying that the OP has the discretion to ignore the votes of newly awakened accounts and inactive posters.


Quote from: Update:
We are glad to announce that a new sponsor has joined this event, and we are very pleased that ChipMixer still supports and appreciates public initiatives!

Thus, the total prize fund has expanded to 100 mBTC! Moreover, ChipMixer expressed a desire to reward ordinary users, those whose names will not appear in any of the nominations, therefore, 10 vouchers of 2 mBTC each will be raffled among all voters!
