What determines the Post of the Month?
- POTM is based on a simple nomination system. The 25 posts with the most nominations in a month’s time are automatically generated into a list of top nominees, and there will be a final Poll with the top 10 from that list. All registered members are then able to vote for their favorite choice amongst the ten final posts.
- Any post on the forum is eligible for the Post of the Month (POTM) award. Any registered member is eligible to nominate a post for Modification of the Month.
Nomination Guidelines:
- Every post has a small button on the upper right corner titled: 'Nominate for Post of the Month' that allows you to nominate that post.
- Members are allowed to nominate as many posts every month as they wish.
- All decisions are final, and members cannot change their decision once they have nominated a post.
- Once a post has been nominated, it will be become visible to all registered members, that the post has been nominated by at least one other member already.
- A live list of current and previous month/year nominations is available here (Can also be found from the "Quick Links" pull down at the top navigation bar)
- It´s not allowed, nor is it possible to nominate own posts.
- When a post is nominated, the poster is awarded with 2 reputation points. (Regular reputation is 10 points)
Nomination Dates and Deadlines:
- The 'Nominate for Post of the Month' button is visible for 15 days after the post is made. After that period, it´s no longer possible to nominate the post.
- The 15 day limit is to ensure that posts from previous months are not nominated again.
- The 15 day limit is also to ensure equal exposure to all posts, and giving a post made at the end of a month a fair chance against a post from the beginning of a month.
Poll Voting Guidelines:
- Voting is ultimately up to the voters. Be sure to take a close look at all the nominees and evaluate the value of each nominated post. Judgment is based on one’s personal opinions – no one else’s.
- Each member can only vote for one nominee.
- Voting for own posts are allowed and possible, but not considered fair game.
- All posts awarded as POTM will get listed in this thread.
Poll Voting Dates and Deadlines:
- Monthly polls are generated the 15th day of the following month. Nominations will still be valid for that month until the poll is generated.
- The Poll will be open for 7 days, giving the members a week to cast their votes.
- The winner of the POTM award will be announced on the 22nd.
