@icopress, how will you choose the three VIP winners?

You probably meant to say "one winner + 1 (for example, you and your wife). ^{[Just hover your mouse over "note"]}

If this is the case, it makes a lot of sense. I'll cast a few votes and that'll be the end of it. I'm weary of folks nominating Satoshi and Lauda; shouldn't this award go to active users only? Since there are prizes in each category

To be honest, it's their right, and if the user read the entire description before voting, they should know that unclaimed collectibles will be put up for auction and the proceeds will go to support the BitcoinTalkShow. In addition, if Satoshi wins in any category, the number of winners between whom the prize fund will be divided will also be reduced, (everything is provided ... as they say). Wink

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.

I also haven't idea about some categories and leave them blank. I guess it's more OK than nominating some random members.

I am having the same issue. For now I just left some categories blank and will eventually fill them up when/if I figure out who is the most deserving. Or maybe I am taking this too seriously. Cheesy

I absolutely would like to nominate EZ0010 for something, as it was pretty crazy at the time. The whole event really, proves that experienced users can make mistakes which we knew anyway, but new users especially seem to build up certain users as gods for a lack of a better term, and therefore can't make any mistakes. However, it didn't just show that, it showed even mistakes don't always spell disaster. I actually think, the fact that EZ0010 wasn't a massively established user, made it even more impressive. It would have been easily to disappear with that Bitcoin.

So, I would definitely like to give recognition for that, but it's fitting it into the current criteria I'm struggling with a little. Dare I say its one of the events of the year, which I'll term "When theymos lost the plot, and Ez0010 returned the lot". Obviously, tongue in cheek I including others have probably made sillier mistakes than that.

Btw, there is nothing wrong with leaving a couple of empty graphs, to me it just means that the person has a slightly narrower range of interests than others ... after all you have a month or so to edit your post. Wink

Sweet, it just didn't feel right voting for a moderator even though I know this isn't a massively serious award ceremony. I just want to get my Annual invite to the Christmas party, and my Christmas cards, and therefore would avoid making enemies Cheesy

This can be easily avoided if people don't give merit only to those that give them vote and ignore the rest. I know that some people like to use merit as a "thank you", but IMHO in these situations it's best to avoid that practice as some will vote only to scoop couple of merits. I remember last time we had some members who were so lazy that they just copy/pasted other people's votes. [...] I am having the same issue. For now I just left some categories blank and will eventually fill them up when/if I figure out who is the most deserving. Or maybe I am taking this too seriously. Cheesy

I remember this heated discussion... so I'm of the opinion that only people who are not on my ignore list deserve ratings (in the context of how I feel when a person has spent 5-10 minutes making a conscious choice). Btw, there is nothing wrong with leaving a couple of empty graphs, to me it just means that the person has a slightly narrower range of interests than others ... after all you have a month or so to edit your post.

I saw the note, but it doesn't say anything about active account which never/almost never receive merit. But i trust you'll ignore vote from obvious abuser.

I agree; while it's definitely a very good deed, it doesn't fit the description.
Also not sure it deserves the attached 'main prize' compared to someone who devoted many years to serving the community. Like, time is money as well..

And the value of time people like theymos put into this forum over many years is surely worth much more than $1000.

whether this is an award for the 2021 year, or for many years from the beginning?

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, and then I saw @examplens got the first vote in. I'm not entirely sure they fit in the Absolute Hero of Good's description, but out of the ones its probably the most fitting. Might be fitting to the event of the year, because it was a rare mistake from theymos that led to the event, which had a happy ending.

On another note, I might get in on the voting this year, though can I leave out some categories?

what EZ0010 has done is certainly a move worthy of attention and praise for me. Newbie, without any reputation, who received the money as a gift, still decided to return it. Maybe is not the best description, but it kind of suited me Hero of Goods for them.

I also haven't idea about some categories and leave them blank. I guess it's more OK than nominating some random members.

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.

Well, one thing I didn't realize is what year these awards refer to. It's from 2020, right?

Has there ever been one dedicated to 2021?

Yes, the awards from OP are from 2020. So far, no awards were given for 2021, but I think this is the reason for which icopress bumped this thread today:
