Awards Voting Schedule Update

[admin]

While I had hoped to be able to announce that the voting could start earlier (like Wednesday – tommorrow)than this Friday as originally stated, it looks like we will need to keep Friday as the start.

My thinking for starting it earlier was that it would make up a bit for those who expressed concern with being able to vote over the Christmas Holiday. Unfortunately, we still have a couple of bio/nomination pages that haven’t come in. These need to be up before we can start voting so that people know who is running. Thursday will be the last day we can wait for these though. Thursday at 5:00 pm eastern standard time will be the deadline. After that point, I think we should say it is too late, and move on to voting on Friday. I think/hope this is fair. So, unless someone has a concern, voting will begin Friday, December 22ND.

I have been reminded that last year it was not required for a person to be logged in to vote. We will do the same this year, unless the majority think we should change this. Security of voting can be handled either way, this is not a concern.

Thats earlier than previously thought, so yes, I think thats fine, by me anyway.  Also what happens if someone is nominated for a category but she is the only one?

Does she win by default which seems a bit pointless really or will that category be nulled?

I think she should win anyway because someone has obviously gone to the trouble to vote for her so I think it’s only fair to honour their nomination. Has that happened with any categories?
xx

I dont know if that has happened but how can there be a competition with only one runner? Just being nominated by a mate or a family member does not really count if there is nobody else in the running for that category regardless of how many votes she gets.
You cant have a one-man race, full stop.

I agree with Cindy. What if she had voted for herself? I wouldn’t want to win by default, it’s an empty victory isn’t it?

[Cindy_PantyParadise]

So if it’s not required for the voters to be logged in, then you don’t have to be a PHog member to vote?

..No anybody can click the voting link and vote :).  PK Has a 3-teir anti-cheat system so anyone who is cheating and messing around on different PCs to manipulate the scores WILL be caught and the seller will probably be nulled too. So DON’T even think about it.

[Cindy_PantyParadise]

How can anyone have a victory when there is no competition in the first place LOL.  I have to really put my point accross that if there is only one seller in a category, that category should be void.  It is totally pointless and a waste of voters time and energy!

Oops, I don’t mean Cindy voted for herself, I mean if the seller voted for herself.

I think a couple of the catagories have just one seller in them but the nomination pages aren’t complete yet so maybe not.

The Panty Awards were started as a way of buyers recognising what sellers have achieved over the past year and that was shown through voting not nominating. So technicaly it’s void if you’re not voting against anyone.

I think it should be wrote off if you’re on your lonesome in a catagory.

Last year you could vote for yourself once a day if you wanted. Most of us agreed that we wouldn’t though, cos that’s just stoopid! x

[Cindy_PantyParadise]

Anna its true though. I didn’t nominate myself but I could have.  Maybe next year sellers will be just nominated full stop and ALL of us should be included in every category and leave it up to our gents, buyers, guys to do the voting and leave it in their capable hands.

Then there is no concern over empty categories and other problems that are rising up now.

I’m sure you all realised I meant ‘nominated’ blimey  O’Reilly, I’ll get my head straight one of these days.

Well, I for one wouldn’t want to win any award by default. As you say though, there may still be some nominations to be confirmed.

Good idea, where applicable of course; just thinking about the seller and new seller categories. It’s up to the byuers at the end of the day anyway so why should they not be able to vote a seller for something they feel she deserves simply because they forgot to nominate by a certain day or because they just plain old forgot as I’m sure some of my buyers have hehehehehe

[Cindy_PantyParadise]

Rachy you are not getting it.  It is ONLY a nomination!  The race has NOT began yet.  What is the point in having a competition when the guys dont even need to vote, they nominated and now they just sit back and the seller just sits back and wins a race they won purely by default.

[Cindy_PantyParadise]

Sure you can plaster the walls and announce you were nominated by your wonderful gents but you cant win the category without any competition!

[Cindy_PantyParadise]

I am not discussing this further as we are going round in circles. Myself, Anna and Jess all feel the same way and at end of the day it is purely up to PK. 🙂 .. If he is happy to allow someone to win by default without any votes then that is his decision.

What about some gents – you all have been very quiet, what are your views on this issue?

[jazzy]

Just a thought- for next year.
Panty Hog Award is for Panty Hog Members only then most people who vote will likely know all the entrants.
Sounds simple i know but it may not work-who knows?
