Son, we live in a world that has forums, and those forums have to be guarded by Mods. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Nickman? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Lucy, and you curse GE. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know -- that GE’s moderation, while tragic, probably saved lives; and my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, keeps threads on track and under the appropriately sized, highlighted green headings.
You want moderation because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that forum -- you need me on that forum. We use words like "stay on topic," "use the appropriate forum," "please delete." We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very moderation that I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather that you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you get a green handle and edit a post. Either way, I don't give a DAMN what you think about moderation.

Obsession of the Year

Dr Zaius and Queensland
charlie11 and Cronin
The Greenhouse and LUKE PAGE




Image


The GH and Luke Page – 53%
Charlie and Cronin – 30%
Dr Zaius and Queensland 17%

Thankfully with this departure we can close the book on that one.

The last nominee is someone who is possibly under the impression that this is a current affairs forum with a Raiders subsection.. The slightly left wing views of #Auspol may then even filter onto those boards.

Anyway will humour that comes from overcompensating from self-loathing be enough to snatch the award from posters that actually spend a majority of their time talking Rugby League?


The answer is no..

Well done Reptar, although unfortunately by association your humour is grouped with last year's winner Nickman...
Oh wow! This is truly unexpected! I'd like to thank my pet cat, and T_R so obviously felt sorry for me!
Gina Riley: Oh, come on, John. That’s a bit old hat, the corrupt IOC delegate.
John Clarke: Old hat? Gina, in the scientific world when they see that something is happening again and again and again, repeatedly, they don’t call it old hat. They call it a pattern.

No longer just an awkwardly mumbled cliche between Pigman and his late-night Tinder matches, the next award carries real cachet around these parts. Who is the time-poor but knowledge-rich poster of 2015...?

Quality over quantity
$2.50 RedRaider
$1.50 Seiffert82
$4.00 Matt
$2.20 charlie11

The favourite here is a very good poster who should out class the rest of the field. RedRaider always polls well here and could offer a stiff challenge, Matt probably posts a bit too much to warrant votes in this category and Charlie offended too many with his love for Cronin
This is a **** brutal field. I like Charlie as explained above, and Seiffert seems like a good egg. Matt posts more than me, what in the **** is he doing in this poll? Jesus H **** Christ. RedRaider needs to deliver his blow by **** blow summary's of games before I give that **** a **** ounce of respect. BRING EM BACK RR! The fans are demanding it

That'll be a tad controversial. Is RedRaider still riding his rep for blow-by-blow commentaries from 2013?

The next one is a biggie. Rivaling the Daley C for the biggest expert on the forum, Best Football Brain consistently turns up the GH thought leader, as well as delivering a worthy 0.0% to the also-rans. Too close to call this year, for mine.

Best football brain
$2.90 Matt
$2.61 RedRaider
$3.67 Pigman

Very close field this one and I expect the voting to be quite close. RedRaider usually polls well in these things, Matt has too many japes made at his expense and Pigman is probably too divisive to get the nod here.
I don't want to come across as being rude or arrogant, but if this is honestly the field, Pigman should win in a canter. What ever you think of Pigman, there is really not a lot of doubt he knows what he's talking about. Where as his competition are known for things like recounting the game blow by blow without any unique analysis and Milford > Slater. Give me what is rightfully mine, I promise I wont rub your **** noses in it... well not much anyways

Best football brain
$2.90 Matt
$2.61 RedRaider
$3.67 Pigman

Very close field this one and I expect the voting to be quite close. RedRaider usually polls well in these things, Matt has too many japes made at his expense and Pigman is probably too divisive to get the nod here.
I don't want to come across as being rude or arrogant, but if this is honestly the field, Pigman should win in a canter. What ever you think of Pigman, there is really not a lot of doubt he knows what he's talking about. Where as his competition are known for things like recounting the game blow by blow without any unique analysis and Milford > Slater. Give me what is rightfully mine, I promise I wont rub your **** noses in it... well not much anyways

RR better win, otherwise it gonna be a long yr 1 way or the other :D

It's RedRaider or collective agony :lol:

In a word... YES

To quote former winner Woodgers "Winning this is like being named the best halfback in Latvia". You can all read into that whatever you want. Also that quote may have been in relation to something else but since when are facts important on the GH?

Nah, I'm calling that as a fair result.

Son, we live in a world that has forums, and those forums have to be guarded by Mods. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Nickman? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Lucy, and you curse GE. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know -- that GE’s moderation, while tragic, probably saved lives; and my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, keeps threads on track and under the appropriately sized, highlighted green headings.
You want moderation because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that forum -- you need me on that forum. We use words like "stay on topic," "use the appropriate forum," "please delete." We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very moderation that I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather that you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you get a green handle and edit a post. Either way, I don't give a DAMN what you think about moderation.

This is what you get when you have the first past the post system of voting.

Surely preferential voting should be considered next year so you lose by a bigger margin?
