KarateForums.com Awards 2017: Nominations Guide

[Patrick]

Hello,

Thank you for your interest in participating in the 2017 edition of the KarateForums.com Awards!

For this first time, we are publishing a nominations guide. In this guide, we will list the members who have made the most posts in the sections that are represented within our KarateForums.com Awards categories. We recognize that it can sometimes be difficult to choose nominees, and hope that this guide will be helpful.

How to Use This Guide

However, post count is not necessarily what you should look at, when deciding who should be honored. Perhaps someone doesn't post as much as others, but when they do, their posts are amazing. Maybe they made a post that really stood out to you, and you want to recognize them for it. Maybe someone makes a lot of short posts in that section.

For this reason, we are going to list the top 10 posting members, from the last 12 months, in each section, plus ties, but without the actual number of posts and in alphabetical order. Our goal here is to provide a useful guide, but also to not prejudice the nominations toward only those with the highest quantities of posts.

We hope this will provide you with a reasonable starting point for your nominations. However, you can nominate members who are not listed here at all, and I encourage you to conduct your own research, by viewing and thinking about a members posts within a given section, as you put together your ballot.
