OK folks, I have decided to setup an official Dee-Nee Post of the Week. Each week I'll pick out the best post from any of the boards, winner gets a free Old Style. I'll likely need help on this, as I cannot keep up with the volume of posts. Perhaps a secondary thread for contenders of IM'ing me.
Waddya think?
Looking for ideas on how to implelent and the like, just to clarify...
Could we use the "report to moderator" link to nominate them? Would that help you keep track?
Maybe a poll, we could try to nominate 3-6 posts of the week, and then all could vote on which one is the post of the week
I think we're on to something here.
I'd like to start by nominating Gdavis's post recommending the "report to moderator" button.
Somebody report something to me right now, to test...
A vote wouldn't be a bad idea, perhaps on Monday for the previous weeks Mon-Sun? Keep the polling open for 24 hours?

This sounds good, even though I reported to the Moderator that the post sucked.
I didn't get anything, interesting... Not sure if it is supposed to email or PM and which account. Too little time to investigate at the moment...
OK, I am getting them they are going to the dee-nee server. I can fix that one. Looks like the everywherechat guy also reported to me awhile back...
I've been getting "Report to Moderator" emails...
G, I figured you were getting them too.
I'd like to know what's been reported to the moderator, that's got to be pretty funny.
They were going to an account that I don't check, now they get to my standard account...
You'll probably have to change your profile lips if you don't want to get POW emails. There may be a lot...
This is a great idea, and more importantly it will make it much easier for the elusive Post of the Year award to be choosen because all the great posts from the year will already be collected.
I'd like to nominate this post for this week
"Sorry man, but I am not intereseted in playing the cheapest pitcher ever to grace the game of RBI. On average you allow 3 hits per game, and frankly - I would rather not play RBI if thats the kind of game I am going to play. Congrats "
Now now ultimate, report that post per the rules...
Oops, sorry, I didn't understand the whole Moderator thing, now I see, use it to nominate, I got it.
I was wondering why you wanted to test the Report option, I have to read better.

I like how the report to moderator button terms the post in question as offensive, as most nominee's probably will be.
Offensiveness is key... So is finally learning a feature of these forums after a good 3 years or whatever
A terrible post by ShitPaw has given me the idea to also have a Worst Post of the Week voting. I already nominated it.
Sorry, ShitPaw, I'm sure you can find one of mine to nominate.
...Possibly this one?
No no, I'm not a pussy; I can take the criticism.
The only thing is that a "Worst Post of the Week" thread would only encourage bad posts.
I don't think so. I don't think people who strive for it.
Actually I think I we had started this 3 weeks ago, TRoogs would be 3 time champion. And he would probably be proud of it. Hmmm..
We could also do best and worst threads.
If there is a worst post of the week category, I'd say I easily won it this week with my Negro league nickname post.

honky?
I think best & worst post of the week aren't a bad idea. Speaking of which, we should be voting by now. I'm a lazy fuck, I'll get a thread going when I get back to the office...
Instead of a poll it might be easier if you just chose one.
I say Gantry is quite a capable judge of posts. He is above lowbrow remarks like "eat a dong tyrone ochong."
But the poll will give us more to discuss and we can reminisce about last week's great/terrible posts

And will hopefully put a stop to the seemingly endless line of dumb polls
Maybe we should have a poll to discuss this?

Maybe you should suck my poll.
No thanks. I would imagine that since you're on Viagra, that would take too long and hurt my jaw...

What happened?
Did I win?
We still don't know, waiting for Gantry to stop being lazy, glad to see you came back though. I think you have the award for longest thread with the subject being a Dee-Nee member.
my post of the year award goes to MikeD telling RDub who thought he might of knocked up this chick to throw her down some stairs.
no way, post of the year:
In response to the story about some guy who got caught looking through some little 6yr old girl's bedroom window and masturbating, and then the neighbors kicked his ass and stuck a brach up his ass. In response to someone saying those pple deserved to go to jail for ramming that stick up his ass, someone here said or close to it:
I think the girl should be sent to jail for being a cock tease.

That thread is hilarious, if you didn't read it, read it!
I feel sorry for that tree branch.
Bump, to wonder what the fuck happened to this? Isn't it almost time for Post of the Year.
I humbly nominate all my posts for post of the year. Gantry, you can send the T-shirt to me at my house address:
Mike D.
King of Boston/Ruler of All He Surveys
Boston, MA
Bumpst.
Did I win?
Maybe we should resurrect the POW but putting someone else in charge. If anyone wants to be down, let me know and we can get this party started. I can have "report to moderator" go to your email and give you mod access to the news board....
Whoever is in charge of this should be someone who isn't going to make any POW worthy posts on their own, so they can be fair and impartial as a moderator.
I nominate Wumpst.
I'm not sure if I'm ready to give Wumpst mod status quite yet. Perhaps when (s)he gets out of santana level...

Um, I'll do it. I think it's time I started giving back to the dee nee community rather than just making about a dozen nonsensical posts a day. Gantry, whaddya think? Anyone have any objections?
I object!
you're fknmccrazy.
I nominate any thread with pics of Pete McGrath.
That is all.

Do you object or do you strenuously object?

Lemme see if I can dig up something more elegant than "Report to moderator" ...
Nightwulf
I like both options, both non-moderator and mclane doing it. If I may ask though nighwulf, please do your best to make it a SMF package. That way we can transition easier through upgrades...
That reminds me, I have to upgrade the boards...
THe boards have been upgraded... Actually I should make a new thread

I want to nominate this as post of the week, who will get it?
I nominate that one post that Ryno made about himself...
Sooooooooo . . . whatever happened to this?
I believe it will never happen, its just to complicated. I just prefer when people quote someones post with a POW caption, it lets you know how they felt.
I'm all for POW, I just don't want to be in charge of it...
Im all for P.O.W.... prisoner of war, one of the most underrated video games for NES.
i really need to get off this raphael santana level, this sally has never produced a base hit for me.
QuoteIm all for P.O.W.... prisoner of war, one of the most underrated video games for NES.
IIRC, if you won they told you "Congradurations" - the arcade version was da bomb though...
FYI - Lipitz said ihatMattNokes was online and Fatty Matty was up at that very moment. So I said "this at bat is for him!!" - and I prompted grounded out to Right Field. Dah Nah...

You'll need to post more, and if you really want to play RBI for money, talk to JoeDirt
Just noticed, IhateNokes makes it another member from Chicago land
Damn straight man! Chi-town is the place to be... though i would like to enter some damn RBI tourneys before I grow old and lose interest in NES, which is bound to probably never happen.. but still... ANyone know of tourneys around Chicago area?
Im telling you though... Nokes is the worst guy in the game for how many homers he has.. He hits like Uribe.. I hate him.. He is a jinx to my Detroit team.

POW had the worst ending ever:
