Also, I hope you only start tallying the counts after nominations have closed because I changed a few of my answers and likely others did as well.
I think that @icopress mentioned somewhere that we are free to change the votes as we like until the deadline so I guess counting starts after that. Speaking of that, it wasn't easy at all to narrow it down in some categories (for me hardest was scambusting&spambusting and Discovery of the Year) so I am still reconsidering some votes. Then again, I tend to overthink everything, that's why it took me so long to finally vote. The only no brainer for me was Lauda as antihero. In regard to lower rank members showing up, if there is some merit sharing going on, you can be sure that some will try to get some in an easy way.

Yes, that's alowed and it is also stated in the rules: Rules:- You can edit your application until the theme is locked.

Here is my vote for Bitcointalk Community Awards. And again: it would be awesome if all users would read the OP before posting... Rules:- You must be a Full Member or higher to nominate / vote.
And again: 1. Best Moderator ................. hilariousandco, OmegaStarScream This Newbie being also merited by some members which I would have expected to read the rules: CryptopreneurBrainboss and LFC_Bitcoin... This is really incredible! I wonder what they thought they are meriting: the fact that they are mentioned in the contest by a Newbie, whose nominations are null?; the fact that a Newbie is breaking the contest rules? Or what are they meriting here?

Just look at this case from yesterday, Newbie copying votes from another member. Now, some might say that this was pure coincidence, that two members voted for exactly the same people in all 13 categories and I guess that could happen, but this guy even included the two typos of the person he copied from, making it an obvious and mindless c/p. Before this he never posted outside bounty section in his bitcointalk career, but he decided to seize the opportunity. First user Kojektea voted and while doing so, he made a few typos. 1. Best Moderator > mrep 2. SpamBuster > LoyceV 3. ScamBuster > YOSHIE 4. Golden Feather. > cryptopreneurBrainboss 5. Event of the Year > Project Covid-19 6. Fail of the Year > Halvening 7. Discovery of the Year > DdmrDdmr 8. Bitcoin Geek > LFC_Bitcoin 9. Bitcointalk Ninja > tanthidung 10. Craft Master > Hhampuz , yahoo62278 11. Antihero > lauda 12. Absolute Hero of Good > Theymos 13. Miss Bitcointalk > Tman
And then few hours later Newbie account appeared with exactly the same votes, including the typos which I put in bold. Mission accomplished, he got what he came for. 1. Best Moderator > mrep 2. SpamBuster > LoyceV 3. ScamBuster > YOSHIE 4. Golden Feather. > cryptopreneurBrainboss 5. Event of the Year > Project Covid-19 6. Fail of the Year > Halvening 7. Discovery of the Year > DdmrDdmr 8. Bitcoin Geek > LFC_Bitcoin 9. Bitcointalk Ninja > tanthidung 10. Craft Master > Hhampuz , yahoo62278 11. Antihero > lauda 12. Absolute Hero of Good > Theymos 13. Miss Bitcointalk > Tman
Edit: Newbie in question (now Jr Member) is ban evading, as he has 2 banned accounts already. Here is the proof.

Lol. I saw it days ago but never mind to comment. Such votes are almost useless. See how it is abused but look at it another view, it is helpful to detect merit hunters, shit posters, abusers, and liars. This vote, definition for each title or category is vague, criteria are unclear. I don't blame on such but some voters don't know what they voted for. They arbitrarily put names into any title, category and finish. Just as filling a space with names.
As I raised my opinion months ago, nowadays it is easier to earn merit. I am not jealous but I remembered how people considered and investigated deeply with post was received one or two merits. Dig to see it is abused or not, deserves merit or not. Now, merit sprees are everywhere and no one cares. I am very happy to see theymos did not give more smerits to merit sources.
Hang on. I will find and quote. As I raised my opinion months ago that after the reallocation of merit distributions to merit sources, I felt people (not only merit sources) are more easily to send sMerit away. I don't call it as abuse but there are low quality posts which should not receive merit. I also see many merit sprees for nothing. Recent weeks, I've seen some easier merit giveaways and honestly I don't like that but in reality spammers won't be able to go up too high in ranks.
Kinda net-effects from: - Rising stars
- Rising topics
- Inactive merit sources (might be not if looking at median of merit distributions)
- Standards of sources or members on quality are decreased.
- Restructures for merit distributions from English boards to local boards (maybe)
- Changes in merit exchanges back and forth between ranks. That topic is outdated but you can use it and compares with updated data from DdmrDdmr Merit dashboard. Where receivers received merits from, and meriters sents merits to
Last 2 or 3 months, my earned merit statistics have increased but I notice most of my merit came from knowledgeable and reputable users. I did not receive much merit from lower ranks and it is strange.

To be honest, I haven't laughed like that for a long time... Today I sent notifications to users who made minor mistakes in their answers, and noticed LoyceV's answer. And I decided to change my vote in favor of fahrizanmh as well. Just take a look and it will make your day.

| | Troll of the Year
| The most skillful trolls incite the most violent disputes and provoke the loudest conflicts, without which the Bitcointalk would be boring. The Troll is undoubtedly possesses many psychopathic personality traits. Entirely detached from reality, the Troll distorts the truth in an unsuccessful attempt to gain attention. There is no vote for this nomination.

Has there ever been one dedicated to 2021? Yes, the awards from OP are from 2020. So far, no awards were given for 2021, but I think this is the reason for which icopress bumped this thread today: Bump / Well, let's get started? Who will be the anti-hero this year? since Nullius is inactive Perhaps a new surprise awaits us and he did not want to start a new topic, but to continue the existing one

I don't want to influence people's votes too much, but I was wondering how many users would nominate EZ0010 for one of the awards, and then I saw @examplens got the first vote in. I'm not entirely sure they fit in the Absolute Hero of Good's description, but out of the ones its probably the most fitting. Might be fitting to the event of the year, because it was a rare mistake from theymos that led to the event, which had a happy ending. I'm just not entirely sure which category is the most fitting, what do you guys think? On another note, I might get in on the voting this year, though can I leave out some categories?

Newbie, without any reputation, who received the money as a gift, still decided to return it. Maybe is not the best description, but it kind of suited me Hero of Goods for them. I also haven't idea about some categories and leave them blank. I guess it's more OK than nominating some random members.

I agree; while it's definitely a very good deed, it doesn't fit the description. Also not sure it deserves the attached 'main prize' compared to someone who devoted many years to serving the community. Like, time is money as well.. And the value of time people like theymos put into this forum over many years is surely worth much more than $1000. | Absolute Hero of Good | The award is given to the informal leader, [the presence of a cult is encouraged].
This outstanding man has devoted many years to serving the community and has left an indelible legacy by doing community service without regard for personal gain / the winner in this nomination will be the main prize.
