Greetings from the Moderation Team!
On October 19th, the Moderation team will be commencing the fourth annual DART Hall of Fame. The DART Hall of Fame is a process in which we honor users, forums, and debates that have made an impact on the community as a whole. This tradition was carried over from Debate.org, and we have continued it from there to here. Below will explain the process of the Hall of Fame...
October 19th through October 22nd - Users can nominate three of the following from each selected category (users, debates, and forums). The nominees with the most nominations will enter the final voting stage
October 23rd through October 26th - Users will select three nominees from each category that they believe deserve to be in the Hall of Fame. The nominees with the most votes will be selected for the Hall of Fame
In addition to the main categories, there is also a miscellaneous category for which you can nominate funny moments, a certain post, or anything that doesn’t fit the requirements of the main categories.
There are no prerequisites or eligibility requirements for users to participate in the Hall of Fame nominating or voting processes, except that they have an account on DART and are not voting/nominating from more than one account. Importantly, coordinating votes or severe spamming of votes is prohibited. This will result in all votes that were deemed as spam nullified. You may argue with people on their choice if warranted, but mass campaigning is prohibited. Private PM's with groupchats is prohibited. This process is about awarding those with merit or importance, and not about awarding those who can cajole the most voters. Also, more exact start and end times will be made clear in the threads in question, to ensure there is no ambiguity as to when the processes begin and conclude. Please be sure to check these times
I am posting this update now to (a) brief you on the process, (b) give notice about the restrictions placed on campaigning and vote coordinating/rigging, and (c) give you time to consider who/what you would like to nominate, come October 19th!
Finally, I understand that this is a bit later than usual and I apologize for this, but hopefully we can have an active engagement in honoring those who have benefited the site
