*** Nominations for Best of SUBSIM 2017 ***
Welcome to the nomination thread for the Best of Subsim 2017. I thank you for your time and assistance in recognizing the outstanding members of our community.
You can help us decide upon who should receive awards for being our best in the following categories: Best Poster of the Year - So, have you noticed someone who posts regularly in the forums, he or she is friendly, helpful, interesting, and you enjoy reading what they have to say? Nominate her/him here. Midshipman of the Year - Which new member (joined in 2017) has been the friendliest/helpful/interesting. Keep your eyes peeled for new guys who join Subsim, share laughs and are good and easy to get along with. Being a new guy ain't easy. Nominees to this category must have a join date of Dec 2016 and later. Thread of the Year - There are 50~100 new threads every day at Subsim. Some are fluff, some are newsy, some are great points of interest that everyone seems to enjoy. Some threads spawn not only great posts, but memorable discussions that last for weeks and months. Of all the threads started in 2017--let's find that thread we call Thread of the Year. Cannot be a previous winner. Post of the Year - There are 600 new posts every day at Subsim. That's over 275,000 this year. Of those, one will be Post of the Year 2017. Which one, that's up to you to decide. Cannot be a previous winner. Funniest Post of the Year - Wit and humor is never in shortage here at SUBSIM. Who's the wittiest and funniest? No, seriously, who? Mod/Modder of the Year - Let's give it up for the clever fellows who pioneer improvements and fixes to our sub games. For this category, you want to nominate someone who has created a really helpful and popular mod. Also consider how he interacts with the community--is he polite, supportive, and helpful? Does he respond to queries? Most Helpful Member of the Year - To consider someone for this award, you should feel he is not only friendly and interesting, as is the criteria for the Poster of the Year award, but helpful in evident ways. Such as, this nominee posts links to help solve questions other members have, he supplies answers to questions, and he is civil and doesn't batter people who disagree with him. Avatar/Signature of the Year - Very simple: if you see a signature or avatar you feel is really interesting, clever, funny, etc., post it here. Sigs should be within the rules pertaining to size. http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/faq....ure_image_faqs Subsim Facebook Poster of the Year - Many Subsim members make great posts of screenshots, game reports, memes, and other naval content. Who is the overall standout of the year? Subsim Facebook Post of the Year - Of all the posts and memes, which one would you say is the most memorable? Subsim Video of the Year - The Subsimmer who made a video and we posted it or linked to it. Please check the proper format guidelines in the next post. There may be additional categories that open for nominations in Dec 2017. Thanks again for your help! Neal, SUBSIM |

Guidelines
Nominees have to be active members at the time of nomination. You cannot nominate yourself (duh). Threads and posts nominated should have begun in 2017. Format - VERY IMPORTANT! When you post a nomination, you must include:
**************** Nominations will close on or before Dec 31, 2017 Throughout this year, if you come across a post or thread that you think is really noteworthy, post a link, the quote, and your argument. This way we can summarize the whole year easily come this December. ********************** Also, please keep this particular forum on-topic at all times, so it's easier to sort through down the road. It's not necessary to express your thanks for being nominated. Good hunting! Neal, SUBSIM

Nomination
Category: Post of the year Member: Skybird Thread/Post & link: The US Politics Thread Reason: In the Jungle of emotions and political core beliefs, it is paramount to try to not fall for tyrants with sinister motives trying to reel us in with false promises. Skybird's post is a great reminder of that, and also offers fantastic reasoning, which makes it very valuable. |

I'll suggest one more Award.
SubSim's Man of the Decade Award This award does not allow one to turn it down by the way. Only one person deserves this Award. Neal I could list reasons that would fill pages as could others I'm sure. |

My Nomination
Best Poster of the Year
Catfish Example: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...56&postcount=2 Reason: Catfish involves himself in all manner of threads in GTs with often very funny and sardonic posts. He is always up for fun and I love his very Anglicised style... I sometimes think he must be an Englishman pretending to be German.

Is this like last year the clan on the inside does the voting ... I liked that cause some of these people I don't know and I would waste a vote on what I think not what I know.
