This thread will be a little different as it'll have the normal poll and a few new no-voting-necessary for funsie awards.

HIT Posters for this month:

Member	Total PandA Points	# HITs
@BadPanda	4,331	808
@SeDuCeR	3,015	802
@Salamander	2,446	381
@SAJ	2,416	403
@Alina	2,170	198

You're free to use any criteria you prefer to vote, I'm just trying to provide some objective metrics to help folks decide. Obviously if you felt someone's HITs in particular were helpful to you vote based on that :)

A user badge will be granted (there may even be a selection of them depending on how many cheesy titles I can come up with!) along with the normal $20 and contributor perks.. If those ever become a thing. Rewards will probably be paid out through mTurk for simplicity sake.

Voting will be open until Tuesday morning this time since the weekend is slow and I'll be out of town. Hopefully everyone can get a chance to cast their ballot (and so the poll ends at a reasonable time). No campaigning public or private.

Misc Awards/Stats:
Giving a test-run of swapping from user volume to volume on a single post for these awards this month since it creates a cooler snapshot of major posts on the forum from the last month. Might go back next month, or do both? Dunno! But for now..

Hold up....so @WildFlower gets special mention for copy and pasting a keith explanation from MTC but I get squat for modifying my first code and sharing it???

 

Damn. my bewby8 captcha came closeish to placing. Should have saved it for a less funny month.

 

Chris, thanks for all your hard work that clearly went into not only tracking these things, but just doing this for us at all so we can have fun while we work this lonely job!

And congrats everyone! Thanks for all of this contribution and everything that didn't make the cut - it inspires me to contribute more to see how great of a community we have here!

Spoiler: and

I think anyone who complains should lose the opportunity to win anything the following month.

 

Damn it @jessers beat me to it :hitwithrock: So what she said X2 and add "wicked awesome " in a few spots so I come off as original :ay:
