SDMB Awards - the "Cecils"

Agreed.

I laughed so hard I think I may have peed a little.

I’d like to nominate myself for the award for ‘Doper Most Likely to Nominate Himself’.

As they do on another board I frequent… In before the trainwreck.
In the few years I’ve been a member here, these type threads never end well.

For breakfast?

I nominate “You eat stupid food for breakfast” for Best Insult Made Up by the Six-Year-Old Relative of a Doper.

It sure as heck says “BANNED” under his name.

Not only have they caused bad feelings, they have also always been locked down by the mods before they get very far, which is why I am somewhat surprised to see that both tomndebb and Giraffe have let it go on.

On another note, I agree with Excalibre. This is stupid, cutesy MPSIMS shit and it should be kept in that forum.

Thread least likely to have intended outcome.

Most self-referential thread.

Now that’s not right. His post was very funny.

It’s not too late, drive a stake through the heart of this thread. :wink:

Request a closing RayH.

Excalibre gets the nod for “Poster most likely to overestimate the importance of their opinion” for sure.

{{{{{{rayh}}}}}}

You’re right.

HUGGLES!!!

Also “Poster most likely to post gratuitous HUGGLES.”

:smiley:

While it’s true that “list all your favorite posters” type threads have been typically closed in MPSIMS and IMHO, I’m not so worried about the bad feelings the “name the worst post/thread” questions might engender here in the Pit. People starting threads about what an asshole a specific poster is seems far more likely to cause bad feelings than this thread, and are of course allowed. Besides, if you get your feelings hurt because your post/thread did/didn’t get nominated for some made-up award by a bunch of assholes in the Pit, you’re a total loser and have bigger problems than this thread.

That said, the “name your favorite thread/mod/poster” aspect really doesn’t belong in the Pit. Had the thread been nothing but that, I’d have closed it. Who knows, I may still close it, if it gets out of hand. For now, since it doesn’t seem to be breaking any rules that I can see, I’ll let it go on for a bit and see what happens. (On preview, I see everyone’s hugging. Super.)

Hey** Giraffe**. How about clearing up the banning/suspension of** VCO3**. If he is suspended, why is BANNED under his name? Why was there no notice in ATMB?

I don’t know and I don’t know. Probably just an oversight in both cases. I’ll send a reminder to the mod loop.

I vote for Giraffe as the mod most likely to eventually close this thread.

Re: VC03, looks like it was this post:

http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=6861379&postcount=23

that finally got him suspended (per note by fluiddruid a few posts later).

Not with that kind of language! :smiley:

“Mod loop”? That would explain the complaints of late–the mods are stuck in a loop! :smiley:
