I suggest letting this thread die.

The purpose of this thread isn't to name and shame. We're only naming trolls to recognize the contribution that they have made to the forums here.

Yeah... I know lol. I haven't really been keeping them up to date. But nominations only close, like, 11 days from noe, so i still have time. Laughing

And speaking of which, this thread has gotten a lot more replies than I expected, which is great, but it means that I'll have to invoke rule #4 (see original post) to make sure that there aren't too many people on the ballot. Basically what rule #4 says is when there is a particularly large number of nominations, a member has to be nominated by at least 2 people to be placed on the ballot. So how I'll do that is: first I'll update the list of nominees, and I'll specify which ones have been nominated at least twice, and are officially on the final ballot, and which ones have only received 1 nomination. Then anybody who wants those nominees to be on the ballot can second their nominations. Due to the extrordinarily active participation among the chess.com community, I'll limit each person to being able to second one nomination.

MrDamonSmith

Can I be nominated for troll of the month? Pleeeeeze? I've been off of here for a couple of months and kind of feel left out. Throw me a bone maybe?

MrDamonSmith

I think I was accused of being a troll before. Maybe twice. I can't remember exactly.

Six. Add mine. He graces these forums with thin and flawed analysis that proves hubris.

ajttja

Well, we still have 1o more days left in this month, and there is a chance that someone will create an epic thread during these 10 days.

MrDamonSmith

Wait a dang minute. I don't get one mention??! What's up with that? I try.........kind of.......to be sort of annoying. That's what a troll is supposed to aspire to right? Heck. I thought I might've got kinda close to doing that a few times. Maybe I could be considered an honerable mention?

True trolls live in darkness. No one better exemplifies this lifestyle than the originator of a thread titled ".": http://www.chess.com/forum/view/general/world-cup-amp-then-there-were-8

Alright! I just finished updating all of the nominations. It was a lot of work, and it is possible that I might have made a mistake or two, so if I did please correct me. Also, I noticed that the nominations for IndianPrince were deleted by the mods. Since I don't want to get in trouble with the mods, I won't include him in this contest, and other members, please do not try to re-nominate him at the risk of getting banned.

Here's the list of nominees that need to be nominated again to make it onto the final ballot (copied from the updated list in my original post):
