Awful idea.

This is supposed to be based on what people have posted over the last year, not make comments about peoples personalities.
This stuff is exactly why the Spill Your Guts thread exists.

^ Thinking about it, Urban makes a good point, though I´m not sure how easy it is to separate posting from personality. For instance people enjoy using categories like Most Like To Meet and Sexiest Member, etc.

On the other hand, we never have an award for Ugliest Member because we all know that would be cruel. It´s ok to elect someone as Inane or Worst Debater though. So what are the criteria here? Perhaps we should be considering the thorny question of eliminating all the negative awards, which have caused some probs in the past. It would mean sacrificing a bit of fun in order to avoid any hurt. I´m inclined to think it´s a price worth paying TBH

Also, unless it´s absolutely clear that it´s a joke, the award of Biggest Troll, is hardly designed to discourage trolling, is it?

That's why I said "best" troll. There are definitely some members who know how and when to troll without ruining threads, as opposed to Batlord's sh*t-talk/sarcasm which is just part of his personality. Not discrediting him for the award though, he has done his fair share of "good" trolling since I've been here.

Not to glorify the former members who behaved trollishly and got prema-banned for it, we should lock in The Batlord for Biggest Troll of the Year.

To be honest, I think the category of Biggest/Best Troll can't be won through a popularity contest (which my winning would clearly be). Any troll worth being called a troll has been banned. So, as far as I'm concerned Dirty/butthead is the only real contestant this year.
