RuneScape:User of the Month

WARNING - THE VOTING POLICY WAS RECENTLY CHANGED: OPPOSES ARE NO LONGER ACCEPTED AND WILL BE COUNTED AS A PERSONAL ATTACK AND PUNISHED ACCORDINGLY.

Some users have contributed a considerable amount to the wiki, both in article content and in discussions. If you think a user deserves to be recognised, you can nominate them to be user of the month here.

Criteria
There are only a small number of rules that have to be followed:

''Note: Candidates still have the right to oppose their own nomination, therefore voiding the entire ballot. This is not counted as a personal attack.''
 * You must notify the user you have nominated them. They may not want to be nominated so it's good to let them know.
 * The nominee must be a registered user and not an anonymous IP address. Also, you cannot nominate anyone who has been already been a featured user.
 * You cannot nominate or vote for yourself.
 * The nominator's vote is included in the "support" section.
 * Nomination starts the month prior to the designated featured user month (for March, nomination is in February).
 * You cannot declare one as a user of the month until the day before the month is over.
 * 50 edits minimum are required to vote. This does not include user page edits.
 * There is a discussion about changing the UotM format. See the talk page.
 * Oppose votes will not be accepted. Formerly, oppose votes were accepted but didn't count towards the decision and often only caused controversy, as the opposes were often rude and several personal attacks and back and forth fighting occurred. For this reason, opposes are no longer accepted, so please simply do not vote if you don't think that a candidate deserves to be featured. Adding oppose to a vote nomination will result in an immediate block for a minimum of one week, as it will be considered a personal attack. The block may be longer than a week in cases of a repeat offence or if offensive comments are made by the opposer.

2007

How to nominate a user
Simply create a level 3 headline (===) below the Candidates headline. A user will be chosen by the beginning of the new month.

Now remember, edit counts don't make the editor. Cashman has been here for some time now and he's a good figure in our community. Some of us may know a different Cashman but I believe that he's a great person to talk to and is very kind. Unfortunately, his low mainspace editcount may blind a few of us from seeing the truth. Cashman is constantly picked on and bothered by some people and also looked down at. However, if some of us look deep down, he's a kind person trying to help the wiki. 16:15, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

sorry, forgot i cant vote Atlandy 16:21, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - That comment was really, really stupid. Did you not just read what I said. Editcounts do not make the editor. 16:20, 5 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Comment(Changed)The constant badgering of someone a great editor should not partake in. This is more what I wanted to say[[image:Scythe.PNG|25px]] Atlandy 16:30, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Agreed. (Sorry Ilyas) 16:27, 5 August 2007 (UTC) Don't agree with that...has anyone noticed that most of this "badgering" here is being done by Christine? - Cashman
 * Cashman, he's referring to how you speak to people. Duh. Christine Talk 16:29, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

...Can you leave me alone? You are acting like Ilyas discribed. I was apologizing to Ilyas because he nominated me and that will be a factor. So shut up and quit insulting me. You speak to others rudely too, like above, but you excuse yourself because "you're an admin". 16:32, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Cashman, I'm sick of you. You're pulling this stuff out of your ass. YOU'RE the reason I left both times. The only reason I'm even editing now is because if I don't then you'll kill my name with all your bs and lies. Christine Talk 16:37, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Both of you, shut the f*** up! This is a damn UotM page and if you can't handle it I'll have to block you both. Please don't let this go to flaming, we're just damn voting. 16:39, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Since I cannot not vote, can I comment then?[[image:Scythe.PNG|25px]] Atlandy 16:41, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Block me? Go ahead Ilyas, as if I care. I blocked myself before and only came back to editing because of this. Don't you dare block Atlandy though. Christine Talk 16:43, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Okay, that really pissed me off. Does anyone else take that as a personal attack to me? Because I do. I am not lying anymore than you are. It is exaggeration that I "ruin" the wiki for you. Last time you left, you called me and the entire IRC channel "bastards" and left. That is personal attack too. Don't say I'm lying cause you know that I'm not. I have proof of two personal attacks on me now. You already killed my name. You wanna know why I'm so angry at you? Becuse you came here 2 months after me, became an admin, everyone loved you, and you made everyone hate me. Don't you see, or do you just want to go on thinking that you are some sort of victim. You act like my existance here is a sick joke and manipulate it at your will. 16:45, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

P.s. Atlandy does not deserve a block. She only commented. I only commented once, and was answered by Clv's flames of rage.


 * I resent being called a girl. I have a penis[[image:Scythe.PNG|25px]] Atlandy 16:46, 5 August 2007 (UTC).

Dammit! I didn't know you were a boy, how you were protecting Clv for her femaleness and all that. Won't happen again! >-< 16:49, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Maybe he just thought it was wrong *GASP*. And jealousy is no excuse for spreading lies. And I never called anyone specifically a bastard. I just said "bastards." Not "you all are bastards." Besides, I PMed the people that I wish I didn't have to say that in front of (Mura, Pat, etc). Oh, did I not PM you? I wonder why.. Christine Talk 16:53, 5 August 2007 (UTC)


 * "I resent being called a girl. I have a penis" - Testecular feminization. No wait isn't that when a woman has balls? +_+ 16:52, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Oppose Technically it only says no SUPPORTING more than one user. -- 16:55, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Question If everyone either voted for Chrsitine or Illyas, who is left to vote?[[image:Scythe.PNG|25px]] Atlandy 17:01, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - Ilyas I - L - Y - A - S not "Illyas". 17:07, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Actually people who voted for me are free to vote because I withdrew =P. 17:08, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Yep. Random comment that has meaning: I think the wiki is falling apart without some of our editors like Syugecin. He knows how to break up arguments....with cookies! :D 17:11, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Hey. wait a minute! "And jealousy is no excuse for spreading lies. And I never called anyone specifically a bastard. I just said "bastards." Not "you all are bastards." Besides, I PMed the people that I wish I didn't have to say that in front of (Mura, Pat, etc). Oh, did I not PM you? I wonder why.. <Font face=Sylfaen><font color=RoyalBlue>Christine <Font face=Sylfaen><font color=LimeGreen>Talk 16:53, 5 August 2007 (UTC)" That IS a personal attack by calling me a bastard. And you just called me one right there, again! I never lied about anything, despite what you say. And again about the personal attack you did twice...Do admins not deserve punishment? 18:15, 5 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Do people deserve punishment for harassment? [[image:Scythe.PNG|25px]] Atlandy 18:20, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

...I'm gonna stop arguing. This is getting nowhere. I'm just gonna edit more, gain respect, and drop this whole thing. I'm not gonna try to apologize to Christine, since I have already tried 3 times and they didn't go too well. Oh well, as Atlandy told me, you can't be friends with everyone on the wiki. 19:22, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Support - Underappreciated. 01:18, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

Support - Yep yep yep, 20:48, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Support I think Cashman deserves to be user of the month because of his contributions to the community. Beanball36

Chrislee33
Support: 10

Chrislee33 has been an active editor for over a year. He has made over 4000 edits with over 3500 of them being in the mainspace. Chrislee has also uploaded many useful images and written many guides. He is a wiki vetran that is still active today and deserves to be recognized. Dtm142 21:00, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Indeed. Chrislee, is, I believe, an administrator and been here longer than many of us. He is deserving of crat status but sadly his work goes unnoticed =(. I would support if I could but I can't because I've nominated cashman and that counts as UOTM is closed... 21:58, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I believe the rule about only being able to vote once has been abolished. Dtm142 22:32, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Oh boy then! Support! - Edits quite a lot! 22:36, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Support: True editing genius. :P --Whiplash 23:19, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Well then I change to support =D. I see my vote's been counted already. 01:15, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Support Has been here for a very long time, and is probably one of the least know editers on the wiki. This is exactly (IMO) what the UotM was made for. 13:57, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Support. If I can vote, I will. He has loads of edits, and is a great person to talk to in-game. Maybe soon I'll nominate him for crat myself...=D 14:47, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Support Same reasons as Cashman. Korak 16:07, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
