The 2010 Musicbanter Awards - Nominations Round.

Paedantic Basterd · 12-18-2010, 10:48 PM

Personally, I like the idea of voting after nominating, because not having been around for long, I find it easier and am more comfortable allowing others to bring suggestions to the table, and then ultimately casting amongst those votes.

And thank you very much, Vegan! There's nothing as flattering as being complemented when you least expect it. This would be the opportune moment to post a coy, blushing emoticon, but I don't want to go look for it.

Must be age.

Pfff. Why cause I picked you as nicest? You are. Thats why I'm soft when I speak to you.

If I've voted for someone I think should win I'm not likely to want to change it to someone else just because they're popular with others.

I don't get it.

Why is it rude? We're not criticizing anyone and what we're suggesting would require less work.

The way I'm doing it is the way it was done last year.

Ah well if Tore was running it last year that explains a lot.

I mean no disrespect to Tore but I do think he has a tendency to over complicate things sometimes & make them about statistics, and perhaps miss the point of what made something good in the first place. In this case having a bit of fun & giving a shout out to the people you think deserve it.

And usually I don't spend a great deal of time on here from early to mid December so that'll be why I didn't say anything earlier.

Women are indecisive, they need time to make up their minds and their faces

Its not rude, but it was done this way last year too, i figured it wouldn't come as a surprise to anyone. I explained that it would be done this way again but gave people the opportunity to suggest changes nearly two weeks ago in a thread I made specifically for that and nobody said anything.

We can leave this open until the end of the month, forget the voting round and just count the nominations if people would prefer it that way but it might be too late now.
