I've done my part casting my votes. Advance congratulations to the winners 🎉🎉

They're bots. They edit the posts shortly after to include a load of SEO spam.


I was surprised by that too when I saw it on the Announcements section, though it could have been cyrus (unless theymos mentioned it somewhere).

• Best Moderator: Mitchell¹
• Best SpamBuster: LoyceV²
• Best ScamBuster:
• Golden Feather:
• Event of the Year: COVID-19
• Fail of the Year:
• Discovery of the Year: bitmover, NotATether
• Bitcoin Geek: o_e_l_e_o, pooya87, HCP
• Bitcointalk Ninja: LoyceV, suchmoon, TryNinja
• Craft Master:

• Absolute Hero of Good: o_e_l_e_o, DdmrDdmr
• Miss Bitcointalk:

1. Since moderators are doing their job behind the scenes, it's difficult to vote. I am sure they are all good. Otherwise, theymos wouldn't trust them. I voted for Mitchell because her bot has helped the forum so much, especially in the past few weeks.

2. There are many users in the forum that are fighting against spam. I can name more than 10 users, but can't select three of them. Additionally, there are probably some users that are reporting spams silently. I voted for LoyceV because of list of bad posts, list of active users and top posters and his new tool.
 

I think it will still be counted as the OP didn't  mention something like voting for only one position.
Also the decision is yourS when it comes to voting just like on official elections IRL 😁

Here are my votes for some categories.

01. Best Moderator ................. Hilariousandco (he has been the most responsive and friendly mod so far)
 2. SpamBuster .....................  LoyceV
 3. ScamBuster ..................... ICOEthics
 4. Golden Feather .................
 5. Event of the Year .............. Corona
 6. Fail of the Year ............... ICO Industry
 7. Discovery of the Year .......... DEFI
 8. Bitcoin Geek ................... Achow101
 9. Bitcointalk Ninja .............. Cyrus
10. Craft Master ................... hhampuz
11. Antihero .......................
12. Absolute Hero of Good .......... MinerJones
13. Miss Bitcointalk ...............

@OP it would have been better if you used a google form. that way you could have easily count votes and had all the list of votes with you. now how you go through all the pages and collect data? if you do it manually it would cost you a lot of time.
