Hey gang!
Glad to see the forum awards up and running again!
As status checker and score keeper again this year, here is a breakdown of how this page operates.
For those of you who don't know how this voting spiel goes down, this thread shows you your voting status. I.e. it incidates how many votes you have made and if you are in the clear to receive any awards you may have coming your way. The system is simple. Firstly, you have to have cleared the following criteria:
1. You have a minimum post count of 100 posts.
2. You have been a member of the GOF for a minimum of 3 months
3. You have contributed to the GOF posts and threads within the last 3 months.
If you have any questions, please don't hesistate to ask. Similarly, check out the rules thread by
clicking here.
Once you've cleared that hurdle, your name below will be highlighted in a particular colour depending on the number of posts you have made or if something requires your attention. Here's a key showing what each of the colours mean:
RED means you haven't cast any votes yet (friendly suggestion: get your rear in gear and start voting!
)
YELLOW means one of two things. Either 1. you have not cast enough votes to receive any awards or 2. there is something that you may or may not have done that is preventing you from receiving any awards you might have coming. Sidenotes will go alongside these issues so you know exactly what is it you need to do to grant you rightful passage to your awards.
GREEN means you can kick back. You're in the clear! All necessary votes and conditions have been met and you can receive any awards any members have nominated you for. Well done!
GREY/GRAY (spelling dependent on your current location in the world
) indicates any other conditions or indications that lie outside of your voting status (E.g. if you wish to be removed from the voting list or have a particular circumstance that has been discussed with admin exempting you from standard rulings for voting). These will also be accompanied with sidenotes explaining the situation.
***Some extra things to be aware of!***UpdatesPlease bear in mind that this is an international forum and people's time zone differ. Having said that, if your status has not been updated immediately after posting, please don't assume that something's wrong. It's more likely the case that I haven't logged on yet but I promise you, come hell or high water, I will make sure that voting statuses are updated when I can. So if your status reads
RED but you know that you have cast all your votes, bear with me and I will ensure you are promoted to
GREEN status as soon as possible. Updates are time stamped at the top and bottom of the Status List so you can see when I last updated the thread.
Skipping VotesNext...skipping votes. If you plan on skipping a vote for a particular category, please make sure you mention this
IN YOUR POST!! when voting. I will
NOT openly assume that just because you haven't nominated someone for a particular category that you are choosing to skip said category. If you are skipping a category, say that you are skipping that category. Otherwise, you may find that your status may not move off
YELLOW despite you thinking that you have made all your nominations.
ALSO - please, please, PLEASE!
DO NOT EDIT OLD POSTS!!! Editting old posts confuses the process.
If you make a mistake or need to make a correction, put it into a new post. Believe it or not, this is FAR more helpful than editting an old post. Still confused? Just take my word for it. If nothing else, you are doing me a favour and I thank you in advance!
REMEMBER - you can only skip a maximum of
TWO (2) votes and still remain eligible for an award. If you do skip two categories,
you must vote in the Appreciated Member Award in order to remain eligible for your awards. You need a minimum grand total of 6 votes in order to receive awards. So that's either 6 out of 7 main category votes OR 5 main category PLUS a vote for the Appreciated Member category (when voting for the Appreciated Member opens).
OK guys! Thanks for getting through all that. Below is the status list for all listed members in this year's GOF Member Awards. Any issues please don't hesitate to get in touch with either myself or any other admin. Cheers and happy voting
Voting for Main Categories is now CLOSED! Thanks to those of you who took part in this year's awards
