User of The Month February 2015: Voting Now!

[Boom115]

CoDz February User of the Month!

Nominations open until December 27th, 2014 [Midnight GMT]

Love isn't the only thing in the air this February! A new Admin, and new forum, and of course a new UOTM! Submit nominations for the member you think best represented greatness in the last thirty days. And who knows, maybe you have a few secret admirers yourself...

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, please read this thread by Ehjookayted on the qualities that are looked for in User of the Month candidates. - Please click here! - There will be cake.

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. I 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!

Rules and requirements

A user may not nominate themselves or anyone sharing the same IP address. This is to avoid cheating.

In order to nominate a user for UOTM, you must have at least 50 posts, and have been a registered member for at least a month.

A user will not be added to the poll unless they have been nominated at least twice by two separate users.

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.

Any nomination, will require a brief explanation, and example links of posts that show the qualities necessary for a User of the Month.

A nomination regarding a staff member is subject to the decision of myself and the other staff as to whether or not it should be accepted based on the linked material and/or written reasons provided by the nominator.

I'm gonna nominate @Nightmare Voyager .

 

Here are some of his threads.

 

Eins

 

Zwei

 

Drei

 

Wunderbar!! :3

 

Ahem... yes.

 

He is pretty much everywhere: Future zombies, Off topic, Site news, Games lounge, chat... you name it!

 

His posts are almost always a nice read and he sure as hell cares about this site. I mean why else would he want an achievement viewer on this site, right?

 

He is also friendly and positive.

 

These are some pretty good reasons to have him on the list.

 

 

My second nomination goes to @PINNAZ .

 

Besides his work with the library he also bothers to create a countdown thread which I am sure will explode once some real info drops. :3

 

And he is a perfect role model for this community.

 

My third nomination goes to @Tasha because... gloves.   (Just kidding)

@Nightmare Voyager @Black Hand Smith @The Meh

 

Thank you!

 

 

I honestly thought it said brief explanation, or example links not and. Sorry for that I thought thats what it said.

 

Anyways I nominate @Tac for amazing theory posts and the fact that he is good to talk with in general. He also has a lot of good opinions about real life subjects too and isnt just a pretty face as you can see: http://www.callofdutyzombies.com/forum/index.php/topic/178281-the-celebrity-apprentice-discussion-thread/#entry1717718 

http://www.callofdutyzombies.com/forum/index.php/topic/178384-state-of-the-union-address/#entry1719016

 

Also @PINNAZ because yet again he is really nice and discussing with him is fun, also he has a very good post that keeps up to date with COD 2015 news, that I think he is doing a good job with: http://www.callofdutyzombies.com/forum/index.php/topic/178243-2015-treyarch-zombies-countdown/

 

Finally @The Meh for his lyrical breakdowns which are nice to read, when you see someone else perspective on a song its interesting. Also his Chains of Humanity chapters he has done, I cant link them all so I will link his handy pocket guides so that you can all access his chapters and breakdowns to read:

If you want me to add more to the voting please tell me this time because finding these links and writing it out took me 10 minutes.

I appreciate the nomination, @Nightmare Voyager! It seems that the few people I was going to nominate have already been nominated, so best of luck everyone!!

[Slade]

You need to provide links to your nominee's posts alongside your written explanation for a number of reasons:

• It gives other members and staff more insight on your nominee(s).
• It proves said nominee is deserving of not only your, but also other people's votes.
• It shows you're not nominating X just because X is your buddy / has yet to win the robes.
• And it prevents nominations in the vein of "My third nomination goes to Tasha because gloves" from spamming the thread.

We were way more lenient in the past; and it caused users to complain about the degrading quality of the nominations and contest.
Zero tolerance for future offenses now.

[superstudmuffin]

I nominate @Bauerklos

. He's a new member, made only 20 posts in which he's put a lot of effort into some quality zombie discussion, theory and in general he's post were a bloody good read.

Well done.

[Hells Warrrior]

I second @Bauerklos

For a new member his contributions have been great and he has also donated as well. That doesn't mean he should be nominated just because he also donated but his new topics and posts are worth a read and to be recognised.

Why are you acting like its a crime, I just misread it please dont make me feel bad for misreading something it isnt nice.

 

Edit: Meh dude I did type your name right, I even tried to change it but it doesn't let me.

It wasn't directed at you - or anyone in particular, Voyager. Just explained why we don't tolerate inadequate nominations anymore. Don't take it too personally.

[Undead]

Take it or leave it, but I think Voyager should just be handed the robes by default this month. I don't mean anything rude to anyone else or the other nominees, but there's simply no competition this month if you ask me, and the proof is all in the first couple nominations for him. 

 

My reason being is this guy is extremely active universally. On topic, Off topic, Chat you name it, he's claimed it this month.

 

Keep it up, bud!

[Guest]

So are we voting soon, or...

 

I think that the exo zombies has taken everyone by storm. Im sure they will do voting once the EE is solved and such.

[Tasha]

I second Voyager and @Bauerklos

Boom's in charge of this months UOTM. Go point your torches and pitchforks at him.

[Stop Mocking Me0]

I'm going for @nightmarevoyager !  348 post is almost 3 times the amount of posts I've made and I've been SUPER Hype about Exo-zombies! Damn that's a lot! 

[Boom115]

Sorry boys and girl...and Slade. Been caught up with work and exo Zombies. Congrats to the folks who received two or more nominations. You've progressed to the next round! Vote it up!

[Lenne]

@Boom , be honest you did this on purpose so I could vote as well. ;P

[PINNAZ]

I think he probably would have over 500 posts for the month by now. That must be the record for the forum.

Can't really say that he hasn't been the user of the month.

Sure Boom, you've just been hanging out with Jesse & Jimmy.
