Congratulations Ragdo11706!
Well, this is certainly a change in beat from the norm. I'm back in the hot seat running our monthly User of the Month contest.
December's been a fantastic month with plenty of competent users, new easter egg discoveries, and plenty of Black Ops 3 news. Not only that but we just had Christmas yesterday, for those who celebrate it, as well as roughly 25 other religion based holidays this month. Not only that, but we saw the release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which while I know isn't Zombies related, I've just been obsessed with it this past week. In honor of that, I suggest it's now time to begin the passing of the proverbial UOTM lightsaber to the next winner. So, let's get to the nominations!
How It Works
Step 1. Browse the forum. Look around, if you really weren't here during the month, please don't put up a random nomination or vote. Just look around. Spend 15 minutes, or even 7 hours scanning around the entire forum! There are lots of great things to read!
Step 2. Decide on your nominations. Pick a few people who you think could be worthy to be added into the poll. You aren't limited to one, but please don't nominate more than a few users. If they're worthy of nominations, they'll be mentioned by someone else. Trust your fellow users, and don't go on a nomination streak, you don't get a care package for 5 nominations.
Also, at your convenience please read this thread by Ehjookayted on the qualities that are looked for in User of the Month candidates.
Step 3. Post your nominations, and explanations or example links. When you've decided who you would like to nominate, please post it below in a reply to this topic. I will also be looking for a brief explanation, and/or a link or two showing examples of why they should be User of the Month.
Step 4. Wait. We will leave nominations open for about 2-3 days after posting this thread if time permits. This is simply to ensure that most of our regular users have the opportunity to chip in. Just be patient, and thank you for your time.
Step 5. Vote! Out of the nominations, I will add those that meet the required criteria to a poll, which will run for about 3 days. I hope to end the poll on the last day of each month, but time can be a cruel mistress sometimes, so bare with me if things are a day or so off.
Step 6. Celebrate! Congrats, you helped a great member be recognized for his/her greatness. You should be feeling warm and tingly now. Be sure to congratulate them! After the voting is closed, I will remove the old User of the Month from the title, and the new winner will don the Cyan robe and become our new User of the Month!
You can also remember the process using this nifty Acronym:
Barf Double Portions When Varnish Consumed
Rules And Requirements
Any nomination will require a brief explanation, and example links of posts that show the qualities necessary for a User of the Month.
A user may not nominate themselves or anyone sharing the same IP address. This is to avoid cheating.
You need at least 50 posts, and have been a member for at least 30 days in order for your nominations to be considered valid.
A user may not nominate more than three other users per competition.
If there is an abundance of votes for two-three users where upon the total number of users is more than six, a second round of voting may occur if requested by the community. The second round will only consist of the top voted users.
A user may not win User of the Month if they have won the title in the last 3 months. A staff member may not win the title if they have won in the last 6 months.
Users will only be part of the User of the Month group for the month after they won. They will however keep a medal to recognize their victory.
