No campaigning. Nor is there likelihood of such an award happening, ever.

aw man. i think that would bring a great thing to the forums:
I propose "DevNetwork's Favourite Irish Member", nominate myself, and in the absence of any other Irish citizens claim victory...

What were last year's categories?

The awards are meant to recognize positive, and good actions/behaviors. Inaccurate typing in posts causes confusion, causes problems for non-native english speakers, makes search nearly worthless, and slows people's reading (and responding) to posts.

Thats not a positive thing, as you can see, so the mods probably wouldn't want to single that out. If you are hearing about it (your comment about multiple mods vouching that you do it), then perhaps you should try to improve.

I nominate Feyd for the fastest response time award...

This guy must use some sorta canned answer script or something...

I always check before I post now just to make sure he hasn't already gunned the question down :P

Dude, even if you check, up until the last minute, he will still get an answer before you. It is just the way of things. He has to have like forty fingers on each hand or something.

As for the AOL speak thing, i think it pepl wood get mor confused by reading weird txt than by their ?. +, we need answers, not more ?'s about what pepl r trying 2 say.

Just my opinion.

You spelled 'speak' as 'speek'... That shouldn't be rewarded methinks... :?

I just wasn't sure if it was me or not. I didn't want to offend anyone.
