** RTB: Raising The Bar; Official Thread **

[Blackjack]

I would say to pick 10 people who you think are good judges - PM them privately to get their suggestions for nominations. And then create the top 15 on your own based on their ideas and your own opinion.

timvp and I shouldn't be in consideration.

Thanks, I think I'll give that a go.

raise the bar

[J.T.]

Should J.T. be worried about his Spammy?

I'm the four best "Rappin'" trolls anyway so it'll be like signing a tab and having money go back into my own pocket.

Anyone in the GTG crew should get an automatic DQ as well.

I've decided we're going to do the All-SpursTalk Teams, MVP, Rookie and maybe a few others first; and then we'll do a Spammy's (or whatever you guys want to call it) for all the entertainment-type stuff (trolls, threads, posts, photoshops, etc.).

I should have a thread for the 15 nominated members up for All-SpursTalk by the end of the week -- maybe start of next week -- and we'll go from there.

In the meantime, keep the suggestions coming -- name for the awards, categories and whatever else you can think of -- and I'll see what I can do.

How about a forum where you can dump all of the crap instead of locking them out. As long as they don't do anything illegal (under age photos and express news). You could even le it "How low can you go?" Kind of a way to raise the bar by thinning the garbage from here by giving it a place to be.

impossible

Many posters will double the amount od stupidity just to be relegated to the 'new' forum

You mean like having them be rerouted to the troll forum immediately upon clicking on SpursTalk?

[Fabbs]

Multiple personality trolls with multiple profiles who post to themselves in hijacking a thread in a desperate attempt to sound validated, or witty, or supported.
While we should perhaps be assisting them in getting appropriate mental health access and self esteem counseling, why should the rest of us have to endure them talking to themselves? Get some mods to blow them out when they are stinking up a thread.

Is there someone in particular you have in mind?

Not you.
Wait, don't tell my you're burn/Colburn/monoslob1kGETSowned something like that reinstated as Giuseppe multis?
I cannot accept that.

[Blackjack]

No, I just couldn't help but think of ST's favorite rodent when reading your post. That would be like America condemning apple pie . . .

Are all the Laker 's n wiggas actually mouse?
Why is that not surprising.

Apple pie is about as contemporary as professional baseball. Who gives a anymore? That saying should be changed to America condemning beer or extramarital sex. Or beer-induced extramarital sex.

Dissent.

It's as American as shouting down apple pie (and good call on the beer-induced extramarital sex, even if I wouldn't limit it to that sweet nectar of the gods ).

Quick update:

I've got about half of the nominations in and I'll probably start doing the polls next week. We're probably going to have to do a few, so I'm thinking I'll stretch it over a few weeks since it's the Summer and it'll give us something to do while there's not as much going on.

I'll probably just set up a poll, leave it open for 48hrs or so and start the next poll the following week on the same day, or something to that effect; I'm thinking there's probably going to be 3 in all to come up with the All-SpursTalk Teams -- vote total will decide which team the Top-15 make.

If anyone's got something they'd like to contribute to the cause (maybe some awards graphics, names, ideas on how to do it, or otherwise) leave me a message in this thread so we can figure something out; I'm hoping to have all the nominations in by Friday.

Thanks.

Will there be punch and pie?

We can punch your pie maybe?

[polandprzem]

BTW I can't gather myself yet

Punch and pie!?!

I'm waiting to see if a few more are going to come in but today is the last day. I'll be getting it started tomorrow -- Chieflion's offendedness is just too unbearable . . .
