<p>Okay Demonlanders ...

Our season horribilus is nearly over and finals will soon be upon us. In the spirit of September, I thought it might be a good idea to inaugurate a new award to honour your favourite Demonland poster of the year.

To be call

Are you an administrator?

No. Why should that matter?

1st of Sept is a Saturday.

Ron Burgundy, just for this piece of genius:

Thank you Biff for getting the ball rolling!

I'll put it out there that I'm not a fan of this idea. I don't like popularity contests as a rule and it's not just because I'm not very popular. Posters get rewarded with good posts now through the "like" system, so I don't think a big love in is necessary, useful or even interesting - everyone knows who the good posters are.

Might see what the other admins think...

No problems with the idea, but calling an internet forum award the "Jim Stynes Medal" doesn't sit that well with me...

Maybe the "Matt Burgan Medal"? Haha... But seriously, don't think the name is that appropriate.

Anyways, my noms are:

-KC for his great updates on the magoos

-Old Dee for being the resident rocking chairer

-Hardtack for being probably the most level headed out of all of us

The best posters are the ones that do the match reports! Jack, Oracle, Mean Gene, KC from Casey, Grapeviney and everyone else. Thanks for outstanding match reports and previews. Much better reading than the papers.

We should try to dig up the most "Liked" post and see what it was about.

I tend to agree with nasher, but i'll have my piece anyway!

Old dee - for his entertaining posts made up of 4 word sentences with zero sugar coating

Pennant St Dee - Generally offers ballanced posts, doesnt get caught up in the media hysteria and his opinions arent an echo of the usual suspects

Whispering Jack - quality posts in general

KC from Casey - VFL match reports

rpfc - for shear weight in numbers of posts and his live Contracts thread

Nasher - Because he's not a fan of this idea.

Range Rover - Entertaining reading, nice balance of footy talk and humour with a pinch of absurdity.

rpfc - Kinda like Range Rover, don't agree with everything he says, but usually worth the read.

Ben 'H' Hur - Knows his [censored].

Sloonie McFloonieloone - Just to break up the sausage-fest that these nominations will be. I like a bird with a sense of humour and a Sin City avatar. Call me.

Why not tally all members "Likes" divided by the "Number of posts" and whoever has the highest score is most popular (or at least most "liked")?

What's the go Nasher? Just a bit of fun.

That's not fair, because someone like me joined (under this guise) when 'likes' were available from the outset, whereas most other posters had a heap of postings prior to the 'like' system coming in.

I'll only contribute if I can start the "Dolt Award".

The take the tally from when the "likes" were introduced.

I like the idea of the "Dolt award".

Don't mind the "vote for" award as well as it rewards sheer volume (i.e. notoriety).

I prefer a stats based award for quality over the season, hence the "Most Liked" award... and dividing by Number of posts (since "likes" introduced) means we are talking about quality rather than quantity.

Then take the tally from when the "likes" were introduced.

How easy is it to collate that information ?

Sounds only fair.

WHAT!!

It can be done - I'm sure I found a feature somewhere that just listed the posters with the most number of likes a few weeks ago, but I haven't been able to find it again since. I can manually query the database to work it out otherwise.

Okay! Award has been approved by head office pending a name change.

I';ve decided to go with the David Neitz Medal © in honour of our long serving club captain and games record holder.

So ... fire away with your nominations and PLEASE NOTE ... This thread is No Sniping Zone (NSZ) !

Look, I think my original post has got it right.

- Field nominations (max 5 per poster)

- 20 popular go into the poll

- Final poll to determine the Neitz Medal winner.

Easy peasy Japanesey

I'll never live down the relax "relax we've got this"thread where I stated we would smash the tigers at the start of the year. It's not the best post but should be in the running for dumbest.
