The 2012 Music Banter User Awards: CATEGORIES
As during the 2011 which Pedestrian so generously put together, I am using her scheme to run the awards with Burning Down. I felt that because I have so much on she will help me (and you) stick to the schedule. Apologies for my crappy photoshop skills!!! If you'd like to suggest a new category, or eliminate an old one, post your suggestion here. Your suggestion needs to be approved three times by other members to make it as a final category. This thread will close on November 24th(with a week to suggest extra categories and vote on them), and then we'll start nominating. Here's the old list of categories, shamelessly pasted from last year's thread: Best avatar - The best member avatar of 2012. Sexiest Member (male) - The male member with the most sex appeal. Sexiest Member (female) - The female member with the most sex appeal. Most Inane - The user who is most vocal about all the dull and irrelevant moments of their day. Most Enigmatic - The user you find most intriguing and know very little about. Angriest member - The bitterest member, a cynic who often responds with hostility and bitterness towards new and old members. Biggest Drama Whore - The member who most often surrounds him or herself with drama. Nicest member - The kindest member, always makes an effort to treat people well, with respect, and to be nice. Best debater - The member who's best at discussing and communicating intelligently and effectively. Worst debater - The complete opposite. The member who's presence in a discussion is usually the most disruptive Best Writer - The best writer on the site, whether they are writing a review, a summary of their day, a rant and everything inbetween. Biggest Virtuoso - The member with the highest level of skill with an instrumental ability. Smartest poster - The forums smartest member. Funniest member - The member with the best sense of humour and who often makes you laugh. Best Mediator -The member who is best at controlling arguments, limiting negative behaviour but keeping the discussion fair, on-topic and interesting. Biggest Troll - The member who's presence anywhere in the forums is most disruptive Biggest contributor - The member who's posts and threads have contributed the most to the overall quality of the site in 2012. Most Improved Member - The member who's somehow improved the most in his or her behaviour on the site in the past 12 months. Most Underrated Poster - The site's biggest underdog - someone who's positive impact on the forums is generally underappreciated or often goes unnoticed.

Best new 2012 member - The best new addition to the site in 2012. Member of the Year 2012 - The overall best member of 2012. The member who we love, appreciate and respect the most. Categories to be voted on: My idea was to have a category for each main sub forum, what do you think? Too much to vote for or to hard to? Biggest Lounge Lizard?(3/3) Biggest Film Buff Lord of Mediocrity Whiniest Member Member you'd most like to meet in real life (3/3) Member you'd most want to avoid meeting in real life (3/3) Biggest try-hard (3/3) Most honest member Member most likely to get caught with child porn. Most Obscure Grammar Tip Biggest Wanna-Be Moderator(3/3) Most amusing Shoutboxer (3/3) |
First of all I would like to nominate myself for Biggest Narcissist.
Most Inane - Duh, Howard. Angriest member - Guitar Bizarre always seems to be attacking someone or another. Biggest Drama Whore - Hip Hop Bunny is the obvious choice. Best debater - Tore. His posts are always well thought out and objective. Smartest poster - Again, Tore. Funniest member - Janzsoon. He doesn't flood the site with aas much jokes and asininery (if it's not a word, it is now) as I do, but when he has a quip, it always counts. Biggest Troll - HHBH. He doesn't flood the site with as much nonsense as Franco, but he is the most obviously antagonistic. Most Underrated Poster - Unkown Soldier. He is always contributing to the Rock/Metal section with good threads. If he had more of a taste for alternative I imagine he would get more acknowledgement. Most Obscure Music Taste - I guess it would have to be between Urban, Janzsoon, and Jackhammer. Of course, my own musical knowledge isn't nearly as great and diverse as any of these people, so it's hard for me to judge. It also helps that they are all ancient. Best Thread Starter - I don't know. Urban? He seems to have a knack for making seemingly jokey threads that start legitimate conversations. Best new 2012 member - I guess I'd have to say Rjinn. It's not often that you get a new member that just drops into a forum and immediately fits in without any period of awkwardness. |
Can we have a Lord of Mediocrity category? I have no idea who would be in it, but it just sounds like it should exist.

I think I say this every year, but I'm not in favor of having negative awards. I feel like they turn a fun event into an opportunity for people to be assholes to each other.
