I think my vote for Biggest Postwhore has to go to Womack.

He averages 97.5 posts/month. This is less than 5BLD's 160.8 and Jaycee's 156.6, but his posts often have one or two words; so my vote for biggest postwhore also goes to Michael Womack.

Dislike having awards for people who are "Worst" or post too much or trolling. It encourages bad behavior and it shows.

To the people Self-Nominating, it only makes you look worse and makes people not want to support your nomination. It really is kinda pathetic to see some of these self nominations, they tried to be subtle about it but just failed miserably.

Good point. I just included them because they were used last year and the year before. I might not include categories like that in the results then, especially if people try to work towards winning them.

They're a part of forum culture that needs to be recognised.

</totally not posting that because I'm in the running for them or anything>

 

[Sa967St]

They're a part of forum culture that needs to be recognised.

Why? Like Robocopter87 said, they encourage bad behaviour and it shows. I'll do what I can to keep some fun categories, but some things shouldn't be recognized.

I wouldn't say they encourage it. I'd troll Womack and egregiously abuse reaction gifs just the same. The presence of these awards never crossed my mind when I did those things.

I realized how much of a hole I'm digging myself into by saying this, but I'm going to say it anyway.

 

[Sa967St]

I'm not convinced. Why exactly should they be recognized?

 

[Robocopter87]

They shouldn't. There is no reason that you should hand an award to someone because they acted stupid or mean.

It isn't right and it encourages the behavior.

EDIT: Specs, please stop defending it. I know you are up for one of the awards, but shouldn't you feel bad about getting something like that? If I got the award for Worst Sig, I would feel pretty bad about myself. That kinda sucks.

This just adds to my argument, people are also terribly beating on the people who act stupid and the like.

 

[insane569]

Because it shows what forum members should try to not be like and it shows what they should try to be.
Like no one wants to be the most deserving of a ban so they would think twice about what they post. I'm pretty sure everyone wants to be overall the best member/most helpful. So more people will look up to whom ever wins that category.
EDIT

Dont assume a person wants to be known for being an ass. If they do then it shows how immature they are.

 

[Specs112]

Why don't you just go ahead and ignore everything I'm saying right now, I don't know what point I'm making myself.

Feel free to delete my posts. Or leave them as a testament to the fact that I am not currently in full possession of my mental faculties.

 

[uberCuber]

I'm pretty sure everyone wants to be overall the best member/most helpful. So more people will look up o whom ever wins that category.

I honestly can't tell what side you are on here. These two sentences seem to me like a good argument to not have the "worst" categories.

Judging by the amount of self noms for these bad categories, I think I'm definitely allowed to assume this. BUt I agree with you, if one of these people didn't want the award, it would be pretty cruel to publicly announce it.
