Welcome to the 420 Magazine Member of the Month Contest

420 Magazine would like to include not only our valued growers, but also more of our non-growing members in this contest. We are by no means excluding growers from the Member of the Month Contest, but we feel that our Plant and Nug Contests are already serving these members pretty well. Please help and support us in this effort.

Specifically, we're looking to thank those members that help and support our site in so many under recognized ways, such as:
  • Greeting new members
  • Helping people with questions
  • Peacemakers
  • Activism efforts
  • Promoting our sponsors
  • Activity and content generation
  • Reporting violations
420 Magazine Staff will select nominees, members determine the winner by poll. This does not prohibit members from suggesting nominations to a Moderator via private message. When doing so, include detailed reasoning for your nomination. Please do not nominate or suggest nominations in the contest thread, or it will be deleted without notice.

The contest will be open from the 1st until the 14th at midnight PST. At one minute past midnight on the 15th, we will begin voting for a winner.

The winner earns "Member of the Month" title, Bic 420 Magazine Lighter, 420 Mag Stickers, & 420 Magazine Magnet

With so many contests and even more winners, we unfortunately don't have the time and resources to offer organizing the 'gifting' of prizes anymore. Due to the nature of numerous, confusing logistics involved, delivery times get pushed back weeks waiting for everyone to reply with contact information, which causes delays in getting prizes to everyone. This causes a massive drain on our resources when everyone starts asking where their prizes are and why it's taking so long, some have even gone as far as to complain in public about us being lazy stoners, which couldn't be further from the truth. Mistakes in translations have also occurred, wasting valuable time, energy & shipping costs. Obviously you may pass prizes on yourself, and you are more than welcome to contact the sponsor yourself with a 'gifting' request.​

Monthly winners are automatically eligible for our prestigious "Member of the Year" contest, held in January.

Contest Guidelines:

1. Members must have at least 50 posts to be entitled to vote.

2. 420 Magazine staff members submit nominees and rationale in the contest thread.

3. Promotion (i.e. campaigning) for yourself or a friend, or any attempt at voting more than one time per person (i.e. multiple user names, etc.) is considered cheating and is prohibited. Promotion also includes family and friends who register a new account for voting purposes. Campaigning in any form - including but not limited to mentioning the nomination in any thread outside the contest and campaigning via PMs - will result in the member being removed from the month's contest. A second instance, either in a different contest during the same month or in any future contest, will attract a lifetime ban from all future contests.

4. Past winners are ineligible for 6 months from date of win.

5. Staff members from this or any other cannabis forum/community will not be nominated.

6. In accepting the Member of the Month title, prize(s), and the respect of the members, the winner agrees to wear his/her title with honor and to continue to set the example with his/her actions and posting behavior. To retain the Member of the Month title, the winner must remain compliant with contest rules and site guidelines.

Contests Are Legitimate: Now that votes are publicly visible, it should be obvious who is voting. We have endless ways of discovering cheating and are always successful. If you are caught cheating, your entry will be deleted and you'll be called out in the public thread, visible to everyone. Reason being that in the past, when we removed the offending entry without any announcement (to help minimize embarrassment for the member), it often led to uninformed (or worse, misinformed) members questioning our motives and calling us censorship nazi's. More often than not, the cheater themselves would claim innocence, causing a higher workload for our staff. For these reasons, we now alert the community of what happened, to save all the confusion and massive workload on our team.

:ciao:

Don't forget to get your nominations in.

I've already had a few - but more are always good. Who's impressed you over the last month with their contributions, welcomes, activism, support and general 420 spirit?

Usual form - drop me a PM with a name and your reasons why, and we'll consider them for the shortlist which will be posted here on the 15th.

No nominations in-thread please.

:thanks:
 
The Shortlist

There have been some very enthusiastic nominations this month, as you'll see below. Teddy likes a bit of passion. Thank you, everyone. And there's a good range of long and shorter term members, each one a real contender. If you're not aware of a nominee, do click through to their profile and have a look at their posting history.

We thank each one of these members for their contributions to, and work for, our community. Good luck to every one of you. :circle-of-love:

All comments are edited from members' nominations. The poll is now open for your vote.

Maritimer
“Hands up who wants to increase their resin yields at harvest by 20-30%? Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Maritimer. He has been tinkering away in his own little corner of our 420verse researching, testing, measuring, refining, turning out gold (resin) like the alchemists of old. Actually, unlike them. Because what he does is real. To me, Maritimer personifies so much of what makes 420 magazine culture so rich and exciting. Science is literally just catching up to the places he can take us already. You’ve heard of the knowledge wave? This guy is hanging ten off the end of his long board, surfing the face of it. While smoking a doobie.”

FelipeBlu
“I'd like to nominate FelipeBlu for Member of the Month. I'll be forever in his debt. He was very supportive and helpful on my grow journal and, as well on the Hempy Headquarters thread (as were the other regulars there). When I had questions about what he was doing with his plants in his journal, he never seemed to mind that I asked there and he always gave me helpful answers. On all things hempy, on whichever thread, he answered all my questions thoroughly and often used photos to illustrate, which was especially helpful for this visual learner.”

InTheShed
“InTheShed has an amazing blend of old school and current knowledge in a variety of different areas related to cannabis. He is friendly and welcoming to new members and has a great deal of patience with them, as well as seasoned members. He actively participates in the journals of other members while also generating fascinating content in his own. His posts in the journals of others are always helpful and informative while also kind, witty, and humorous. InTheShed has such a presence here on the 420 Magazine site that when he is not here it is noticed by many.”

013
“The mysteriously named 013 is pretty new, but I think he’s made a big impact, quickly. He’s everywhere, welcoming and helping. But what makes him a MOTM contender is his content – really well expressed, super-clear and awesome in its solid advice. Before you vote, please check out his postings in his profile. You’ll see exactly what I mean.”

DrDoob
“Why hasn’t Doob been MOTM yet? It’s inexplicable! He has consistently (3,500 posts last time I looked), contributed great content in his journals, help for those in need, kicking back in the Lounge, active in Oil, and always positive, supportive and full of knowledge. I’m tempted to keep nominating him every month until he wins!”
 
If I hadn't nominated one of the above members, I would have a very tough time making a choice. I'm afraid I don't know Maritimer at all but I'm guessing by the name that he's Canadian like me so hello there and congrats on the nomination. And, I barely know 013 but he seems like a good guy.

However, if I had to choose between the other 3, it would be very difficult as they have all been a big help to me in various ways. So, sorry Shed and Dr. Doob, this month my vote is for Felipe. :love: I hope you'll understand. :battingeyelashes:
 
Thank you oldsmokey! I keep running after you all up and down the faq page. You are a quick study with a keen grasp on any plant problems!

Thanks Hash Girl.... I’ve chatted briefly with HG and she is awesome! I was half way thru reading her first journal and I got busy and now she has harvested that and is on her 2nd journal. Way to go HG!!!
