[Decision] Post of the Fortnight

[Love Mountain]

Excellent. I'm looking forward to the first iteration.

Discussion in which the celebration of this contest is proposed (Iskar) and the creation of a committee in charge of it is suggested.

Hi. As most of you know, it is our intention to hold a contest in D&D where the best posts are awarded. We publish here a series of rules / procedures (simple and flexible to be able to act based on the problems that may arise) that we have elaborated to see if they are to your liking. Please indicate if this is the case or not and point out possible errors, necessary corrections and things that could have been overlooked. Also, remember that you can contact the group administrator (Flinn) to join us and help us with our tasks.

Rules / procedure:

- Each user can nominate a single message, and the only valid form of nomination is by quoting the chosen post in the PotF thread designated for it.

- There will be two competitions held every month, with a period for nominations followed by a period of voting.The submitted posts can be discussed in a dedicated space.

- Only messages that have not participated in a previous poll and that have been published in the current or previous month in any section of the D&D area may be nominated.

- The authors of the nominated messages will be informed so that they can withdraw the candidacy if that is their wish.

- The maximum number of participating messages in the final vote will be ten. If more than ten nominations are submitted, seconded nominations will take priority. After seconded nominations are considered, earliest nominations will take priority. If the number of messages submitted to the contest is less than ten, the organizing committee may nominate posts if it considers it appropriate. The members of the committee will never nominate a message belonging to one of them, but the rest of the users can nominate their messages (organizers messages).

- Public or private messages asking for a vote for a candidate post are forbidden. Violators (and their posts) may not participate in the running contest.

On behalf of the PotF committee (Aexodus, epic_fail, mishkin, NorseThing), thank you for your interest and collaboration.

So did everyone get a look at this? Feel free to leave your thoughts here in the original thread

The Post of the fortnight medals and banner competition is now open for business

I've updated the OP with the final version of the Decision based on what the committee has worked out, so as to provide the results with some positive legitimacy. Please see the OP and indicate support or opposition (now would be the final opportunity to make grievances known.)

Let's give this shot... what's the worse that can happen? This can only be beneficial.

edit: just to mention; originally we planned to go live with the voting on the 30th, but due to my RL commitments I've posted the polls and the announcements today; not much to change however, last submission was from very early October.
