What about having a custom title for the winners? It doesn't take much time for theymos to add them. People will see Golden Feather 2021, 2022 and thus, more people will know about the yearly contest too.
This sounds nice and, if I remember well, this was discussed as a possible prize for first edition of the contest but, for some reason, this prize could not be implemented back then.
I think we can create a petition thread to convince theymos that Bitcointalk Community awards winner should have a custom title.
On the other hand, maybe theymos would listen to
vox populi, in case such a petiotion would be signed by many users. Who knows? Feel free to try
My suggestion for next year is to make few changes, maybe we could have randomly selected winners for stuff like hardware wallets and collectibles.
New categories to consider:
- Peacemaker
- Troublemaker
- Drama Queen
Thank you for these suggestions
Would you like to elaborate a bit more about the new categories? I mean to say a few words about their description or what type of users would fit in each category...? Maybe give some examples that cross your mind right now, together with some links to topics showing why X can be considered Peacemaker, why Y can be considered Troublemaker or why Z can be considered Drama Queen? This may be helpful.
@GazetaBitcoin, do you happen to have the total count of valid voters ?
We had 141 eligible voters.
As I stated on my local board at some point, being just a thought, it could be interesting to consider something related to local boards in future events.
Would you like to elaborate a bit on the subject? What do you have in mind?
I see I'm on the wall of shame for meriting someone's post lol.
Please don't take it this way, don't feel bad about it. I just had to mention the out of the ordinary situations too. (Otherwise maybe I was questioned if I closed my eyes at rule-breaking cases
). Seriously, there was no intention to make you feel like being placed at the wall of shame. You are a very good scam buster!
I do apologize, I read the rules but quickly. [...] it wasn't merit farming or whatever but rules are rules
Relax, I am certain that nobody would ever think about you as a merit farmer, lol. However, it's important to read rules carefully.
