As most of you who are familiar with Coin Talk are aware, we have a member here by the name of Clinker. Now Clinker has gone to the trouble and effort, and it has been no small amount of effort, to organize and put together what he calls Trivia Posts. And if you took the time to do a search on it you would find that there are 10 full pages posts like this, 250 posts - all made by Clinker.

These posts that Clinker makes really only have one purpose - to help others. And it is that spirit, of being willing to go out of your way to help others learn and to increase their knowledge of this hobby that best embodies the spirit of Coin Talk.

In honor of the effort that Clinker has voluntarily put forward, and to dedicate to Clinker a special honor, we have decided to create a new award for Coin Talk in his name and it shall be known as The Clinker Award !

Now any and all members of Coin Talk are eligible for The Clinker Award. And it is the members of Coin Talk that will choose which posts are worthy of this award. At the bottom right corner of all posts, excepting the first post of any thread, you will see Clinker Award Nomination. If you, in your own opinion find that particular post to be exceptional and worthy of recognition - then click on that link and that post will be nominated. At the end of the week, all nominations will be counted and the individual posts receiving the most nominations will be given the Clinker Award.

As you all know, we already have the Topic Of The Week award. But only the first post in the thread is eligible for that award. This will be a way for you, the members of Coin Talk, to offer special recognition to those who make what you consider to be a noteworthy post.

Now there are still a few decisions to be made, like how many nominations to qualify for the Clinker Award; and part of the reason they haven't been made already is because to a large degree the decisions will depend upon you, the members. So we might have only 1 Clinker Award per week and we might have several - we'll just have to see how it goes.

But anyway, there it is - a way for you to recognize those whom you deem worthy of that recognition.

Now right now, all you see in that bottom right corner is - Did you find this post useful ? - with a - Yes I did ! - link. That wording will be changing shortly to the appropriate wording. In the meantime, click away if you agree with the intent.
