Member of the Month for February 2011

We have a ton of great members. Looks like it'll be tough choices for some time to come.

Congrats to harry and everyone else just for being nominated.
We got a good bunch of members here!

Agree there harry. With the amount of members here you would think there would be more people having a vote. Can see why this went south before

Anyways BIG congrats to you Harry. And to all the other candidates commiserations but did a awesome job to be even nominated

Cheers

I completely agree. I may have only been a member for just over 3 months now but I can definitely see who the most common members here are.
There are certainly some very hard-working members who give a lot of their time on these forums.
If only more members could spend just a little more time here taking part in polls etc, and giving just a little of their time back.


I know I have said it already but after a small rant I would again like to say a HUGE congrats to the nominees and MASSIVE congrats to Harry!

You know you can also help us get more people voting by encouraging others each month or putting it in your signatures. Every little bit of publicity helps.

That's a great idea, when the voting opens i'll certainly put a link to it in my signature!

Congratulations Harry.

Congrats Harry.
Maybe I should have voted for someone who would get more then 2 votes . But the vote went to who I thought was the most deserving.

I got a bad rep for this. I'm not against the bad rep. But at least have a spine and don't leave anonymous negative rep like you did.

For that?! I think someone's got their panties in a bunch today cause I received anonymous rep today with a comment calling me an "a**" for some other post elsewhere. Some people...

If you have received what you feel is an unjustified rep, please PM me and I will be more than happy to address. There is no need to call it out off-topic in the public forums.

MYmacROX: I will start the process for you right away. We don't allow name calling in the public forums and it won't be tolerated in rep either.

Im shocked 8th ?!?!?!?

Cant understand how someone could give *neg* rep for a opinion of your own on who is most deserving . . . . . . That does blow and shows how shallow some can be . . .

I suppose this is why the voting of MoTM is anonymous. So people dont presume favouritism/ or get jealous or think its undeserving.

I am not on here 24/7 and i dont see every post so i take the mods decision of the candidates as the correct one then believe everyone nominated is deserving. Obviously everyone doesnt feel this way lol

Cheers

Really the8thark take up cwa107's offer and have the rep erased. That is outrageous!

Yeah, please. Let's keep it on-topic and not obsess over rep.

So let's think this through...

The rep system is to be used to express your opinion about the helpfullness, politeness, or community contribution of a post. It's that person's opinion on whether they think it's worth positive or negative rep.

So why would that person's opinion be worth anything less than the8thark's in this case? Why defend one side's right to an opinion and not another's?

But cwa is correct, unless the rep is actually violating the forum rules, there's absolutely no need to cry about it on a public thread. Contact a mod if you feel something needs to be adjusted, but I'll be honest, unless it's a violation of the forum rules, it's probably going to stay.

I think some in this thread should read this for a refresher:

Dont take me wrong on this. I agree one opinion is is as valide as the next. My point was trying to point in the direction of it being Anonymous.

Sorry for any confusion, as i did go on about one opinion more than the other.

Cheers

Anonymous.

I would argue it's no more anonymous than people using screen names here rather than real names in the end.

But I do understand your point.

This is in regard to the anonymous part of it. I have ended up giving anonymous good rep in the past (actually fairly recently) because I forgot I needed to add a message and sig.
It would be nice if the default was to post a signature, and those who had some reason for wanting to remain anonymous could opt out by checking box at the time of posting.
Just an idea.

BTW: Bum rap IMO for the8thark and MyMacRox both

Getting off topic guys. >_>"

Congrats to harryb2448.

Side note: Now that I'm a mod I can see who is giving me rep.

I've been giving all anonymous - because I had never read the link Schweb just posted. Thanks for posting it. I gave you anonymous reps for that!

I had actually looked for info on the rep system when I first joined but came up empty.
