Members Suckrates Posted September 14, 2014 Members Share Posted September 14, 2014 While I think lurkers CONCEPT is cute and clever, I can understand low participation for the following reason: some of the categories can be interpreted as having a "negative" connotation. As we are a close knit group, perhaps some members dont feel comfortable with some of those categories, and singling out people for negative things, eventhough the nominations are anonymous. And while I anxiously await to see which members will have their Sally Field moment and squeal "You like ME, you really, really like ME", I also cant wait to see how the winners in the "negative" categories will react (where I Do expect to see MYSELF) ! Like the Hookie Awards, which are given for the BEST in EVERY category, lurkers' awards are more like 1/2 Hookie and 1/2 Razzie, and I think the Razzie part killed the interest. Obviously just MY opinion though. I wish lurker GOOD LUCK with the extended time frame. Just remember, We are ALL winners........... lookin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't vote in the negative categories (6, 8, 9) which Lurker said was OK. And I had a couple of nominations in most of the other categories, which he also said was OK. Even then, I don't think my votes reflect all the different views I hold throughout the years. I trust Lurker though and I'm sure if he thinks the results would do any harm, he'll manage to lose the ballot box on the way to the convention.

AdamSmith Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 I found a simple solution. I nominated MYSELF for the negative category. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
