[Discussion] Bitcointalk Community Awards 🏆

[JollyGood]

As excited as some members might be to know the results, there are many things any member could be doing outside of the forum. Also, they could be quite pressed for time with forum related issues that are engaged with on a priority basis. Maybe there is a grey area in between that we are not privy to.

Patience is a word that comes to mind  

Think maybe the workload is plenty maybe  that's why Icopress haven't updated yet.

We plebs do not have the minimal idea of how complex such a task is.
Counting the votes, then counting again until the results are confirmed, then recount again until you are sure of the outcome.
Then be prapared for a decent amount of drama.
Be ready for the inevitable backslash.
No, I cannot blame icopress and team to take a few extra days.

I know very well how complex it is since I'm doing the same thing for the second year with the help of icopress for altcointalks
The altcoinstalks community award is waa ...

I DON'T DARE to imagine this, where there are so many sensitive people and where every year there is a tragedy

in fact I tell you the truth, I'm waiting to see what the drama of this season is for me it's funny

anyway ty <3 and love to icopress

This is the first time I’ve attended this event!
Why are you saying ‘brace yourselves for drama’?
The scores are public, so I don’t see why there should be any complaints. Then again, maybe I’m being naive, but I really don’t see the point.
I suppose, though, that organising this sort of event isn’t easy; it takes a lot of time and patience

Every time there is a slight human interaction, there is a possibility of launching accusation, and this possibility will be abused.
Actually the fact that the prizes go to the people who voted, and not to the people who have been voted, greatly reduces this possibility, yet I am sure that someone will complain!

OK, thank you very much as always for your detailed reply.
So it’s now standard practice to hear a few complaints, but I’d also say it’s all part of the game – winners celebrate and losers complain; that’s how it goes pretty much everywhere.
Let’s hope we don’t have to wait too long! But the wait will make the verdict all the more special.

[fillippone]

Yeah, honestly, I play calmly, but I am dying to find out who won the prizes. Hopefully, the team is doing their homework, and we will soon have a result!

If the voting is public, especially since there are no privileges for those accounts that have been selected, what kind of dissatisfaction can there be? I may not have noticed, but if you bring up the story of last year, was there anyone in the ranks of those who were  "offended"? Then we can compare the past disturbances with the future ones, which, as you say, are expected. However, I can't think of anything to worry about here.

[fillippone]

Worry for sure is an overstatement.
Nobody is going to worry. I am just expecting  someone trying to ruin the fun with some silly behaviour, that’s it. Happy to be proven wrong anytime!

It's normal for such things to happen. Hey, you know how delayed gratification makes the reward more exciting, I think that's what's at play. Also, Icopress needs all the time to curate the votes to avoid stories that touch the heart. This is the second time I'm participating in this but I bet you, this is the first time I'm hearing that there's a lot of drama that goes down. Maybe I'd have to save me a front seat row to the whole thing.

you're really pessimistic, from what you see
I'm an optimist, that is, if there are any I'll take the popcorn. Jokes aside, I have to say that among all of them, icopress has always been able to manage everything in a masterly way.
I admire his patience, I don't have much patience and I don't even have diplomacy

We're almost ready! The winners of the raffle will be determined by block 942180!

I'm no longer surprised by the occasional Miss Bitcointalk nomination, but I got curious who nominated me as "Discovery of the Year":

List of candidates who received 3 or fewer votes
Discovery of the Year: promise444c5 (3), GazetaBitcoin (2), mikel_012 (2), stwenhao (2), Adiljutt156 (1), Asanoha (1), Charles-Tim (1), Cookdata (1), LoyceV (1), M47AK16 (1), Mia Chloe (1), Trêvoid (1), VashaUdacha777 (1), albon (1), bitmover (1), danadc (1), examplens (1), hosemary (1), howardsentell (1), icopress (1), imthegreat (1), joker_josue (1), katanic97 (1), satscraper (1), sausalitox (1)

I tried to find who nominated me, and went over the voting topic several times, but the closest one I found is this:

Code:

Discovery of the Year: stwenhao

I couldn't decide until I saw LoyceV's post, and then I remembered something. About a month ago, I spoke with ico, and he shared his impressions of stwenhao and his unsuccessful attempts to invite him to a signature campaign. I read his post history and realized that this guy deserves this award, as his posts over the past year have truly transformed the tech section.

Did I overlook something, or is my nomination for "Discovery of the Year" a mistake?

Oh well, here is the answer

Code:

Discovery of the Year: -LoyceV

For the things that has been forgotten, he will make you to know it, and he always be on accuracy in whatever he does in the forum, for the discovery, is the best

[Mitchell]

Thank you for the nominations everyone. I know I don't post as much as other people, but still nice to be recognized

[LoyceV]

Oh well, here is the answer

Code:

Discovery of the Year: -LoyceV

Thanks, that explains it. I forgot about people on my Ignore list when I searched through the topic (4 times) with CTRL-F.

[JollyGood]

And here ends another year for the Bitcointalk Community Awards. Your efforts and hard work to maintain the event cannot be ignored, thank you icopress

There were clearly some surprises as unexpected names won some of the categories and that is great to see. Congratulations to all of the winners.

The winner of the special raffle will be determined by block 942185!

We know this title who belongs to!
Despite every possible penalisation over multiple consecutive wins by the same person vixen the throne remains unchallenged!

[igebotz]

Thank you, Icopress and GazetaBitcoin for another amazing hosting.

I just realized I won the Local Hero category; that gave me a lot of confidence to continue doing what I do.

@lovesmayfamilis thanks for the vote, we go again next year for the " Miss Btalk" category 

Thanks to all the voters! The Sherrif is well pleased.
