Members RA1 Posted September 14, 2014 Members Posted September 14, 2014 I wish I understood this but I do not. Sorry to not participate. Best regards, RA1 Quote
Members Suckrates Posted September 14, 2014 Members Posted September 14, 2014 While I think lurkers CONCEPT is cute and clever, I can understand low participation for the following reason: some of the categories can be interpreted as having a "negative" connotation. As we are a close knit group, perhaps some members dont feel comfortable with some of those categories, and singling out people for negative things, eventhough the nominations are anonymous. And while I anxiously await to see which members will have their Sally Field moment and squeal "You like ME, you really, really like ME", I also cant wait to see how the winners in the "negative" categories will react (where I Do expect to see MYSELF) ! Like the Hookie Awards, which are given for the BEST in EVERY category, lurkers' awards are more like 1/2 Hookie and 1/2 Razzie, and I think the Razzie part killed the interest. Obviously just MY opinion though. I wish lurker GOOD LUCK with the extended time frame. Just remember, We are ALL winners........... lookin 1 Quote

I didn't vote in the negative categories (6, 8, 9) which Lurker said was OK. And I had a couple of nominations in most of the other categories, which he also said was OK. Even then, I don't think my votes reflect all the different views I hold throughout the years. I trust Lurker though and I'm sure if he thinks the results would do any harm, he'll manage to lose the ballot box on the way to the convention. AdamSmith 1 Quote
AdamSmith Posted September 14, 2014 Posted September 14, 2014 I found a simple solution. I nominated MYSELF for the negative category. Quote
