Yes, as a matter of fact one person did this last year. A great guy here took some time to write up a very nice, very genuine nomination for the person and she apparently couldn’t be bothered even to respond to us when we contacted her regarding the nomination, and as far as I am aware, even respond to him regarding it. I felt horrible having to tell this person that after his great work on the nomination, that the person he nominated wouldn’t be included. Personally, I found it disturbing, and my Amy, who was around here as much as me prior to this, found the fact that someone could be so mean and cold as to not acknowledge this gesture from one of her fans to be so disgusting that she decided to take a break from here and hasn’t participated except behind the scenes since (Amy will be involved in the Awards ceremony as she was last year though).
So, yes, people do need to accept or not accept a nomination, either way is perfectly fine. However, regardless of your decision, please at least thank the person who took the time to nominate you.
