I also feel <wannabe> was pressured into doing something like this when <Iskuba> won the best analyst last year. So he started trouble at WS page so he can conveniently put people on ignore. The timing could not be more impeccable.

There were very vocal protests from the <elite group> (friends of wannabe> with the win of Iskuba and they were quite concern about the strong voting block of a certain group here.

So in my humble opinion, only an impartial and reputable entity can run such awards body like this. Preferably, Mr. Daniel Freeman, who commands everybody's respect.

<i call on the others to let it go.>

before I go, I say:

Boss, Mr Freeman sir...

2. I don't know why anybody is on WannaBe's ignore list in the first place, as that's nobody's business but WannaBe's. However, knowing WannaBe, I imagine that they are there for very good reasons. As it's not an official Chessgames sponsored event it's not our place to make any suggestions.

Everybody also knows that you have spent the last two weeks doing everything you can to ruin our site awards: the voting, the nominations, contrived complaints, ignore issues, highbrow/lowbrow, your Sulsol Page, our Wikipedia entry, so many personal attacks, and these endless sockpuppets where you talk to yourself. Typical Barangay Wesley: cause all sorts of trouble, then blame people in charge for it. The site has your entries from the Muppet Show under <pirotmata> and our New Year's Day encounter from 1/1/12 under <SugarDom>, which was Dress Rehearsal for the main event, and you just lost. The silent majority are getting big laughs out of this, as they have seen me expose sockpuppets for eight years.

The site awards have always been run by the membership, with the expressed understanding that the Administrators would remain neutral, avoiding any questions of favoritism. Remembering back to 2004, we had a clear #1 and a clear #2 in post count, with the rest of us far behind. Then a new #1 took over, way way ahead, and he was the one who was charged with being treated "better" due to posting the most. For the record, Mr. H. said several times that the post count should be done away with as it only leads to such silly controversies. Personally, I would like the site to run the awards just once, as private voting would produce more reliable results (like the Pun Contest) but they are wise to step aside.

For the Caissar Awards, the group's role is to keep everything positive - positive, positive, positive. Sincere recognition for the best contributions from last year, period. The site's role is to enforce the Posting Guidelines, like no nominations for "most disliked" in their chessforum, and avoiding personal attacks and shameless showboating. Based on this cycle, I will propose that all future site awards only involve Premium Members, and that is too bad, because it is just too easy for jealous troublemakers like Norlito Sepulvida to play games.

Not that restriction to premiums *entirely* solves the sockpuppet issue, as there are a few with paid accounts. Mostly benign, it should be said.

We can return to the issue when this year's event is over, and everyone has thanked the heroic Wabbit for his extraordinary effort over the years.

Organizing synchronized and semi-purposeful activity is extremely difficult on CG. I had quite enough of it during the World vs Nickel game, when I was the first person to host an analysis forum.

I also have nobody on my ignore list. But I hereby declare my non-candidacy for the Caissar job.

<Happy New Year, everybody. In 2012 we will indeed enforce our policy of not allowing discussion of specific rule violations on this page.>

<They were put on ignore list for continuing attacking <tpstar> and then started to attack me. After I called them out on their shameful behaviour. I never called them low-brow, I only used the term 'high-browed' humour to describe <tpstar>'s funny posts.>

<They in turn twisted the words and posted their 'interpretation' of my posts.>

<Here is the post that got them on the ignore list:>

You hit the bullseye with your dart...driven the stake into the center of the vampire's heart ..

<tpstar> and <wannabe> are the modern day Hitler and Mussolini. Imagined themselves with superior learning and culture.

Mirror..mirror on the wall, who has superior culture of them all?>
