i was recently saw another one of these (it was in 2011) and i wish to restart it. The voting begins the 23rd so here are the other rules:

     Do you know someone who needs to be mentioned? Well you've come to the right place. Join this month's Chess Player of the Month for July 2011! (aka CPOTM) The rules are that you can nominate anyone on chess.com for whatever reason. Whether it would be friendly, humor, or personality, they can be nominated. However, please try to keep is positive about your nominated person.

     Each person can nominated up to 4 nominated members. You HAVE TO SAY why you want to nominate he/she or you will be ignored. If a member that you want to nominate has already been nominated, do not say: "I second the nomination!" or "I etc. the nomination." However, you can say another reason why you think that person should be nominated. I cannot be nominated. You cannot nominate yourself. Those who have won the other CPOTM contests cannot win again.

     The past winners are:

 goldendogilikeflags,OmarCayenneblackfirestorm666batgirl,

 bigpoisonKacparovechecs06TheGrobe

      As for the voting rules, we will be vote on the last week(s) of this month, depending if we have a lot of nominated members or not. You will have 2 votes and cannot vote for yourself. However, you can't use both your votes for the same person. Both votes do not need to be used. Also, I want to make it clear that there isno advertising to vote for one member for it will not be fair for the member(s) not advertised. If you do advertise, you will be blocked until the end of this month ANDnext month, and the nominated player you have advertised will be removed from the list.

     I want to make it clear that I do understand that I cannot control one's actions from advertising, but at the same time, they should always take a look at the first post of this thread. From now on I will not be responsible for your actions, so beware. Spamming will be taken seriously so if you spam, you will be blocked until the end of the month.

     Finally, all of you have to know that this is for fun and it is just a game.The purpose is to meet new members, create new friends, and see the personalities of the people around chess.com. It might be a popularity contest, but in the past, I have seen members nominate new members to chess.com who they thought were amazing friends. Feel free to send me personal messages about any ongoing problems. The winner will receive a trophy for winning this month. 

     It is now July so get ready to nominate! Any questions?

"the nominated player you have advertised will be removed from the list."

So if I don't want player x to win while he has the most votes, I simply advertise him? I love challenging the rules <3
