I'm not betting much on Blastoise, because again, maybe there's a WAY better candidate, but who knows. So far, as writing this, there's been only 9 votes for Worst Poster (Yes, I'm including ones that don't name one user yet still include the category regardless.)
In my opinion Blastoise the user, doesn't deserve Worst Poster of this year. Just because he recently appeared out of nowhere, doesn't mean he should get the worst poster of the year award. There are worst posters than him (spoiler alert on my own nomination and the vote, it's everyone, and yes you can nominate and vote for that one category, back in 2022 (but it had a different name)).
I sometimes think that you people always look for a scapegoat to blame on for the problems of the forums.
I honestly thought you were agreeing with the sentiment until I re-read the comment. Earlier in the morning.
With respect to you, I don't see why whether or not someone recently joined should factor into the worst poster award nor do I see where that's scapegoating him on the problems of the forums.
The way I look at it, he may not get the worst poster. However the reasons why people are justifying the vote comes down to a few things:
1) Recreating threads to advertise his collab in violation to BBS rules.
2) Making suggestions for the site when he's barely given it the chance.
3) If anything being argumentative toward users offering him feedback and then attacking people who are barely involved in the discussion.
4) My personal favorite, twisting the context of what was actually said and insisting on it to no end.
5) If anything, the fact that he openly sounded disrespectful to moderators in the past and thinks the whistle system is broken shows little tact on his part to raise concerns.
6) Whining about how everyone is being mean to him over the criticism he gets when he could be using the feedback he gets as a growth opportunity.
Pretty sure that's the problems with him that we all agree on that warrants the nomination votes he received from myself and three other users as of writing this would agree on.
And in contrast to what he's insinuating, it's not the collab in of itself that's the issue. It's his behavior, and that's where the crux of the argument in why some of us feel that way.
