DUCKSWhy did your karma jump 15000 in a day?
VinnieFno offence, but how is zzzskizzz even in the running when his only contributions during May were a shitty thread about cars and a thread on minimum wage increase.
BWalmer should be destroying him in the voting.

zzzskizzzHave you been living under a rock this month?
LE.Skiingunrealistic photoshop thread. I have a feeling that's the only reason why I'm in the running this month is by contributing decent content to that.
VinnieFOh I guess I got confused since it's called "member of the month" and that thread was created last month.
zzzskizzzSo not only do you live under a rock, but you can't read as well.

MousseauYou're all members of the month in my heart.
Mr.BishopTo those nominated: Please make your case in here and rally some votes! There's still a bunch of days of voting left, so its anyone's game at this point.

treebeardbwalmer has consistently been one of NS's most helpful and insightful members for the last year or so. dude deserves it.
zzzskizzz made one popular thread out of the hundreds of mindless garbage spewn out of his account. you admins need to take a look at a member's historical contributions in addition to "what gave a lot of karma this month?"
MousseauWell, it is "Member of the Month" after all.
If you don't think zzzskiszzz deserves it, simply don't vote for him -- that's why we included member voting. If you have a better suggestions on how to calculate the member of the month nominees, we're all ears!
treebeardI definitely understand this. Maybe I'm still used to the old MOTM format which felt more like a spotlight for helpful and influential members, where the new format is definitely what you just said- emphasis on "month". My suggestion would be to use the member votes as a way to cut it down from 5 possible winners to 2 (in this case BWalmer and zzzskizzz), then the mods and admins have a conversation about who seems more deserving. I truly don't believe any of you would snub a massively helpful member in favor of some nsg shit
MousseauThe old format was exactly the same -- minus the public vote. Our system would simply spit out the highest karma earner of the month, and that was that.
At one point staff were choosing from the top five, but personally, I think that decision is better left to the members themselves instead of me -- which is in line with how our home page works, "x" of the Day, the Yearbook, etc.
The bottom line is that I think you guys know know what's up, and I trust you (more than myself) to make the decision. Also, it prevents everyone from hating me for making a decision they don't agree with!
zzzskizzzI think you nailed it, I don't understand why people are getting so upset. I said in my first post and I really meant it, don't vote for me, and if you don't like it then don't vote for me. I have no idea who the other three are but le. helped me with the first photoshop in that thread. I'm just baffled as everyone else that im 3% behind whoever the other person is. Not going to lie though, now I kind of want to win to Russell some jimmyies.

Mr.BishopDeciding on who deserves to win is simply a question for the masses. Some people are going to have gotten a ton more enjoyment out of helpful news articles and posts - others that one photoshop thread was the answer to their life.
This is why we felt that the public vote best served this. Its Member of the month - so it only has to do with what you did that month, not all time - and you probably know what is going on better than the admins.
So far, I've been really pleased with the results.
.Hugo.I feel like people's icons need to be included into the poll somehow... That is how most people recognize members, and I honestly only even recognize the top 2 in the poll by name, and im on here a lot.
LE.Skiingyou don't recognize my name? I'm not offended at all.

Granite_StateWhy is zzzskizzz even nominated? He contributes nothing to this site.
El_Barto.He brings the penis size average down. Thats a contribution
Mr.BishopI feel like there's an entirely different crowd in this thread than last time.
zzzskizzzIt's the fucking elbarto(sp?) crew that will stop at nothing to make sure I do not win, and to have sex with my baby dick.
El_Barto.hahahah...i have such a love hate relationship with you. And cmon you dont know how to spell el barto? Really? Its not tough, just sound it out.
TheClap.It's actually El_Barto com'on now
.Hugo.It's actually El_Barto. com'on now
