[Discussion] Bitcointalk Community Awards 🏆

[Learn Bitcoin]

. But I am surprised by the number of votes in 2021. That was when BTC touched the ATH, and the community was too crowded.

I think a fair target for this year's competition would be having a record number of votes. In the case of a bitcoin bull run it would be easier, but I think we can make it even without it.
I think this forum deserves it.

I think so. You already know how many people rank up each week. You are the one who helps them to rank up and some other merit source, too. I don't know if the community become more crowded than before or not. But you guys may understand the difference. Mixers ban is one of the disappointing things. I guess some members may become less active if there are no campaigns for them.

I don’t think that’s enough reason to request a name change. People can distinguish between yourself and the other accounts, and if you feel the need to give a neutral stating that the account isn’t your alt, I don’t think anyone would hold it against you.

This is not the only reason. I have other reasons for changing my username, and I wrote them on a different thread. I get too many mentions daily from topics I never posted because of my username. People use this keyword and wallla.

philipma1957 voted today and in the last category voting which is for Miss Bitcointalk , which I don't know if it has been discussed before. He said,

Miss Bitcointalk  if this is for a female it is a sexist reward.

why should a female get a reward for being a female and no male gets a reward for being a male. and If a guy decides he truly indetifies as a female is he allowed to win it.
    In this spirit I wrote for JJG as I identify JJG as a girl.

The question of why a female get a reward for being a female while there's no corresponding reward for the opposite gender demands an answer. Is there a kind of discrimination which has been overlooked for years? To the best of my knowledge, such an award of Miss goes in pair with Mr. Should Icopress consider including this in next year award or we live it this way which looks like a gender discrimination issue.

[digaran]

KingsDen, isn't obvious why women get a reward just like that? Because it's natural. OMG I was this close 👌 to go full porn right there.😂
Whenever you opened up the size of a watermelon, you'd understand why we care for females so much, any man demanding for the same attentions, well probably we should name them something else than a man.😉

I previously drew the community's attention to the Miss Bitcointalk category in the Bitcointalk Community Awards 🏆 and that this smacks of discrimination. That same positive discrimination, in which one sex is given more privileges than the other (and it seemed that we lived in a world with equal rights). Bitcointalk is not the place for discussions on such a topic and I see only 2 solutions to this problem: remove this Miss Bitcointalk category altogether, or add a new Mister Bitcointalk category. It is up to the organizers to decide what exactly to do. But if something depended on me, then I would take the first path. The category must have at least some relation to the Bitcointalk forum and to the bitcoin in the form of an activity. Neither Miss Bitcointalk nor Mister Bitcointalk fit into the context of this competition. This is my personal opinion.

I believe you are talking about men being discriminated, right?

Anyway, the subject has been debated after previous edition of the event. However, for avoiding having fillippone as the only one winner at this category (Mr. BitcoinTalk) we did not add it

Mister BitcoinTalk category was not added, as it would mean to have fillippone winner all the time (on all three places  )

I believe that this category exists for a reason: there are few women in this field.
The problem is that we also have some difficulty in being sure who is a woman or not.

That's why in this category I only vote for the only user who I'm 100% sure is a woman.

[GazetaBitcoin]

What do you guys think about making a rule that you only vote for 1 candidate per category. I think it would make vote counting easier and the awards more competitive.

Quite the opposite... this would break voting system as it would generate plenty of nominees. If only 1 vote was allowed for qualification, then we would be faced with a huge number of users who received only one vote. The 3-vote rule for qualification is necessary precisely to avoid this confusion in the counting of votes.

I believe that this category exists for a reason: there are few women in this field.

This is true.

The problem is that we also have some difficulty in being sure who is a woman or not.

This is even more true

That's why in this category I only vote for the only user who I'm 100% sure is a woman.

Sounds legit

I think the rules should be readjusted for Miss Bitcointalk  . Isn't it supposed to be for a female? So if anyone unknowingly submits a user who is not a female then that candidate will be disqualified automatically. I know there are no ways to identify who is he or she but hey, this isn't some random contest. Is it? Most of the candidates are known to all.

I always thought bitcoingirl.club was a female user. So when I submitted my candidates I added bitcoingirl.club. Later GazetaBitcoin told me that she was a "he" not "she". Lol..what a confusion!!! Had to edit again.

What I want is that this contest to be fair for all.

[GazetaBitcoin]

I know there are no ways to identify who is he or she but hey, this isn't some random contest. Is it? Most of the candidates are known to all.

Then how do you propose to check if a candidate is indeed female or not? By (having her) submitting her KYC?

Nah, that won't work, we can't be sure until they pull their pants down, because looks could be deceiving you know? 😉

Lol.. Does anyone has any better ideas? I cannot think of anything, Lol. You guys should decide whatever the best. That was just a thought of mine. Anyway, it's kind of funny though, don't you think? I mean,  a man winning a women's competition! If a man really wins, that should be categorized as the "Joke of the year".

KYC=know your candidates?

You got me right. When it's against men, it's not discrimination.

Mister BitcoinTalk category was not added, as it would mean to have fillippone winner all the time (on all three places  )

I expected to read, mister bitcointalk was removed because fillippone wins it all the time.

Meet in person to follow through with various performance tests and a full-body inspection... not necessarily in that order.

.. I hate to be going here with you, but yes, pulling down pants is part of the full-body inspection.... and there would likely need to be a team of inspectors.. unless the nominees would be flown to a particular destination, perhaps the inspectors would be chosen at random from an eligible group in order not to discriminate.(or alternatively perhaps vote for the inspection committee, which may or may not result in discrimination.. who would want someone on an inspection team who is not able to discriminate to be making these kinds of decisions?  #asking for a friend)

What could go wrong?  It is not like the candidates have to engage in a MMA fight.  


Right?


Right?


Riiiiiiiiiggggggggghhhhhttttt?

The "true girls" would be disadvantaged in that... and maybe we could add MMA fighting to the necessary performance tests (besides being a good cook and knowing how to do laundry.. and of course, child care such as breast feeding).  The loser of the MMA fight becomes the winner of the Miss Bitcointalk.. even though "we" would tell the "fighters" the opposite, that they have to win the MMA to win as being Miss Bitcointalk, and that way they at least try to win.. throw in a bit of jello or mud wrestling too (not for Indian or Turkish members since these folks would have too many advantages in the mud/oil/jello wrestling department. whether man/woman or otherwise).

For sure I thought that you were going to mention the one and only undeniable Alia.

GazetaBitcoin made his guess and he can be wrong. I was once KYCed by only one, it's Theymos. If you hear anything from him then you may believe it but don't forget Theymos can also confuse you by not giving the correct information and if he does give you the correct information then I will report it to the right agency.

You are in a loophole brother 😂

Please, be careful mentioning agency in this forum, if theymos hears it, he might ban gender from January, 2024

Now I'm going crazy, I really am stuck in the loophole. 😑

Please give me the correct answer. 😭
what are you? Brother, sister or an alien from mars? 👽

He already heard about it. Now we wait for the next topic from him 😂

Tone and emotions could also be deceiving, here is why:
Have you noticed every time some one tags me, I'd go post a topic on reputation board and would go to meta crying to theymos that they have done me wrong?  Well my tone and emotions at such times is like a spoiled little bitch. So.. 😂
