<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 912013, member: 112&quot;]Ya know, I can&#039;t even count how many times there have been complaints and/or requests to bring back some way to nominate great posts on Coin Talk for an award. And it was about a month ago that this thread was posted - <a href="http://www.cointalk.com/t107395/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/t107395/">http://www.cointalk.com/t107395/</a> </p><p><br /></p><p>That thread gave me an idea to answer and grant&nbsp; those requests to bring some award system back, which led to this thread - <a href="http://www.cointalk.com/t107642/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/t107642/">http://www.cointalk.com/t107642/</a> </p><p><br /></p><p>Now here&#039;s where it gets disappointing. In that month I have had a grand total of 15 nominations. One post got 3 nominations, one got 2, all the rest got 1 each.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now I find it absolutely amazing that we used to sometimes get 15 complaints that the award system no longer worked - <b>in 1 day</b> ! But give you a way to solve the problem and bring it back and virtually everybody ignores it and fails to make use of it.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s not hard, all you need to do to nominate a post is send me a PM with a link to the thread that contains the individual post and provide me with that post&#039;s # (number). Every post is numbered in every thread at the top right corner.</p><p><br /></p><p>So what&#039;s the deal ? Do you guys just like to complain about stuff because you like to complain or what ? Or is that you holler that you want something and then when you get it you don&#039;t want it anymore ?</p><p><br /></p><p>If it sounds like I&#039;m raggin on ya - I am. Given the circumstances I feel you deserve it. In that month that has passed there have been some great posts made, more than few. But it doesn&#039;t have to be a new post - <b>any post</b> clear back to the very first one ever made on this forum can be nominated. </p><p><br /></p><p>And don&#039;t try to tell me that it&#039;s too hard to go back and look for them. I know for a fact that lots of you folks bookmark your favorite threads and save them. And even if you don&#039;t, the Search function is pretty easy to use.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now for you folks that have sent in nominations, I thank you. But out of the 15 nominations sent I think it was 8 or 9 members who sent them. Some obviously sent several nominations.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now what about the rest of you ?</p><p><br /></p><p>I will do this, since it is patently obvious that no post will ever receive the 10 nominations that I originally required, I will drop the number to 5. If a post gets 5 nominations - it gets the Clinker Award and it will be posted in a place of honor.</p><p><br /></p><p>So come on ! Participate ! You wanted it, you asked for it, you got it ! Now do something about it ![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
