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 420 rep points, "Member of the Month" title, 420 Mag T-Shirt, Bic 420 Magazine Lighter, 420 Mag Stickers, 420 Magazine Magnet, Medium 420 Magazine Nug Jar and Small 420 Magazine Nug Jar!

Additional information on prize shipping can be found here.​

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 rational 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.

Voting From Mobile Device: In contests with polls, it is not possible to vote using the 420 Magazine mobile app directly. You can vote from a smartphone by choosing "Web View" on the app and viewing 420 Magazine in the "Desktop version" on your mobile browser. You may have to pinch outwards to zoom in close enough for comfortable voting. If this process is not suitable, please log in from a PC or Laptop until we get this feature added to the app.

OK, brothers and sisters, time to put down the vapes and joints and bongs and pipes and get nominating. :passitleft:

Please drop me or any Mod a PM with your candidate for August's MOTM - with the reasons why you feel they should be in the running for this prestigious title.

Who's been reaching out in FAQs, welcoming new members, sharing knowledge and experience, demonstrating a fine 420 Magazine positive spirit, working in the MMJ threads, activism or any other consistent postings on the world's leading Cannabis and Hemp website. ;)

Please say "thank you" by letting us know your nominees.

MOTM August 2017 - The Shortlist

Congratulations to all nominees. Here they are, with a few selected comments from those who have put them forward.

@imtoasted
"Honestly I've learned a lot here and seen a lot of help but imtoasted has been all over the place helping others out. He has been super supportive and has given some great knowledge on my thread. There are a lot of great people here who are generous with their knowledge, but imtoasted has touched a spot in my heart over the past several months, showing the kind character he is."

@TorturedSoul
"I'd like to place TorturedSoul back into the pool for this month's MOTM. I really admire the dedication he puts out there. Let's give him another shot." "I know he was in last month's list, but he deserves another nomination - I don't think there's an area of the site he's not active in! He's knowledgeable and his comments are always thoughtful, sensible and measured."

@PotChimp
"I'd like to nominate PotChimp. He's always positive and willing to give advice if asked. I think his great sense of humor and all around positive attitude makes him a great candidate.!" "Helpful, witty, responsive and active. Please put the highly deserving PotChimp on this month's list of nominees."

@BedroomFarmer
"I would like to nominate Bedroom Farmer. His DIY tutorials and growing style have helped so many members here at 420 Magazine. He has a faithful following because of his knowledge and easy going nature." "BedroomFarmer is one solid guy. His work is really informative, his photos good and his attitude is quite inspiring. He always encourages the community spirit too."

@Scientific
"I would like to see Scientific up on this month's list again. He is all over FAQ's offering sound advice and encouraging newer members to include the necessary information to allow others to better help them. He also has a sense of humour, and remains calm wherever the thread goes, and his journals are impeccably detailed and fun to follow."

@ShiggityFlip
"Anyone regular to the Mag knows Shiggs is an established grower of fine cannabis but he doesn't stop there. He continues to try new things, whether it be light builds or grow styles. Anything he does is well described and complete with pictures. He may not get out much, (there is only 24 hours in a day, although his seem to have more), but anyone who comes to his journals is in for a wealth of experience and knowledge. He will always answer questions and venture into other's journals upon request. Great guy and humble."

Thank you to each of you for what you do for our community. Good luck!

:bravo:

The poll is now open for your votes.

Congratulations Shiggity!:bravo::thumb:
 
Congratulations, ShiggityFlip! And a secondary congratulations to ALL of the nominees!

Sorry,, I couldn't ever vote here,,,, to many friends.

Aw... I voted. This contest... For me, it's often a case of splitting hairs, so to speak, as to who I end up voting for. Not because I like more than one nominee (which is usually the case), but because it can be difficult to decide which - out of several candidates - member was the most helpful/etc. during the month in question.

Maybe it's just me, lol, but I'd consider voting for someone who I didn't even like - IF they struck me as being the person who most fits the things that are mentioned every month when Teddy Edwards posts the MotM contest thread. To whit:

I don't see popularity and "whether or not I like them" on that list. That tends to exist because the member has those qualifications - but it isn't a given. <SHRUGS> Every now and then, there'll be a member that just rubs me the wrong way (and, undoubtedly, there are plenty of other members who feel the same way about me - such is life). But that doesn't detract from the contributions they make around here, so it shouldn't disqualify them from getting my vote. Err... That's not what happened this time, of course. But I'm just sayin', lol.

You want an example of what using popularity as your yardstick when determining who to vote for? <COUGH>Trump<COUGH> ;) . Surely, not everyone who voted for the clown did so because they were trying to create a "tie" situation in the Electoral College out of the hope that the House of Representatives would then be tasked with the decision and end up picking that ex-CIA guy who won like one delegate in a Western state, lol.
