And again, exactly what I'm trying to say. If its lighthearted and not meant maliciously then where is the problem in putting your name to it hmm?

Insults, and baiting (ie delib trying to upset someone you don't like) are against forum rules. So why is it allowed for this purpose?

People keep saying its fun. It mostly is. Mostly isn't good enough however.

Because even when it's meant to be light-hearted, you'll still get folk be sensitive if they found out who nominated them... and this is the downfall of it... you'll get the same old 'I'M HATED, FEEL SORRY FOR ME, THIS PERSON DOESN'T LIKE ME BOO ****ING HOO' stories from people and it'll ruin it all.

Well look, I can only speak for myself, although I can think of a specific member who would be distressed at being nommed for anything negative. In my own defence, and I said this last year as well, nobody bloody nommed me for the stuff they should have done, such as Drama Queen, Attention Seeker etc. I am both of those things. Yet instead I was personally singled out for biggest suck up, ass licker or whatever it was, and I was bloody funing, as I will only be nice to people I like, if I don't I will argue the toss with someone till the cows come home. Argumentative as well. Call me that and I won't get offended either.

Please someone tell me they get where I'm coming from.

I voted yes because I wanted to be different.

[Shaun]

if people want to, then fair enough. I really see no problem with not wanting to take part.

[Marsh.]

I agree Kate, and lord knows I have a big problem with hypocrisy. lol

Should the TiBB Razzie Awards (the negative awards - Most Argumentative, Most Self-Obsessed etc) have an opt-out list, so you can abstain from taking part if you so wish?

just get on with it you drama queen

[Marsh.]

Who does that?

In general, everyone I see on the forum banters and doesn't take things seriously.

Unless of course there are very insulting awards.

You mean you haven't seen stuff like that from people on this forum?

I meant people on the forum seem to take jokes on the chin.

Unless someone is just being outright rude. Which is why I said unless the awards themselves are very insulting/rude then there shouldn't be a problem.

[GypsyGoth]

For the most hated, if that's what it was called, I think it was fair that there was an opt out.

But the Razzies are something different. They are not meant in a malicious way, even if people want to take them that way, they're just a bit of fun. However I've never been picked for one I think, but from reading posts by Shaun or Brother Leon, they seemed to take them as they were intended, as a laugh.

It is peoples right to be offended, and it would be a shame that people chose to feel like they were being picked on because of it. But didn't Claymores insist on not being included in the most loved... ok I don't know where I'm going with this, but thanks for reading.

I think it's pretty clear why it would be a bad idea to take away anonymous voting for this and not because it's nasty or malicious because I do honestly think most members still take this as a light hearted bit of fun but if it wasnt anon there would be some that would obviously use it in the future to cause drama out of it.

[Shaun]

in a much more base way, too, submitting votes publically would make it obvious who's going to win... it'd make the entire surprise element redundant

This is basically why voting will remain anonymous, at least initially - although if people really wanted to know who voted for them I guess I could tell them after the ceremony
