I've always assumed it was a rule that you can't vote for yourself.

Well it's not only a problem of voting for yourself, but people will choose posts from other journals and it just seems like it'd be a scattered mess of individual posts. Just seems like it'd be rather difficult to expect people to narrow it down to one individual post when having to choose out of hundreds of them.

Well that's where a minimum of two nominations comes in. If you're nominating a post you should be required to post or at least link to that entry, so hopefully it would be easier to get a second.

Spending about 20 hours a day on a site then trying to belittle anyone who attempts to make it better.

I do think it'd work out, but even with a minimum of 2 posts, we'd still be dealing with a long list of posts we'd have to choose from at the end, unless you were thinking we could do an elimination round with just that one category and the one post with the most votes wins the award. If there was a way to narrow it down from the get go, like only being able to choose from journals that are updated on a semi frequent basis and not just any journal, I think it'd work out.

How about something like "Best series post"? Like Batty had the juggalo thing, also his Return of the Kings of Metal, Wpnfire has this map of riffage or whatever (sorry I've only been darting in and out of the journals recently), you have why cover this? etc. Something like that; something that is an ongoing or was an ongoing series of posts rather than just one?

That would certainly make things a lot easier. With all the tallying that goes into this at the end, having a bunch of posts for one category to sort through would be like doing the tallying twice. Anything to make that easier is definitely better. We have plenty of time to think of something but I do like the idea of highlighting people's Journal posts as they have been getting increasingly better over time and more people have been going out of their comfort zone to make a journal.

By the way, I know Vanilla had Exo help her with the counts (I said COUNTS!) :rolleyes: last time, I think, so if you need a hand when it comes down to tallying up, give me a shout ok?

Or if I can help in any other way.

A Briksbatlord? The world is not ready for that.
