420 Magazine's Member of the Month: December 2022

[Renee Roberts]

Welcome to 420 Magazine's 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

Please send your nominations to 420 Support (@Renee Roberts @Pat Puffer or @Teddy Edwards) via private message, including detailed reasoning for your nomination. 420 Staff will assess and approve the community nominations, then members determine the winner by poll.

Nominations are accepted from the 1st until the 14th at midnight PST every month. Approved nominations will be posted shortly after midnight PST and, at that time, the polls will open through midnight PST on the last day of the month to vote for a winner.

Please follow the above guidelines to propose a nomination and do not post or discuss nominations in the contest thread. Nominations and/or suggestions of nominations in the contest thread will be deleted without notice.

All winners receive "Member of the Month" title and the following Prize Package:

420 Magazine: 420 Magazine Lighter, 420 Magazine Magnet, 420 Magazine Stickers
GeoPot: Winner's choice of 5 x 3 Gallon Pots, 3 x 5 Gallon Pots OR 1 x 15 Gallon Pot
Geoflora Nutrients: Geoflora Veg & Geoflora Bloom
Cannabis Irrigation Supply: 12 Outlet Manifold Kit for Greenhouse and Hydroponics
Foods Alive: Organic Toasted Hemp Seeds
Sierra Natural Science: SNS-217 Spider Mite Control - 1 Quart Mix Pouch
Prescription Blend: Complete Nutrient Kit
Mile High Cleaner: Deluxe Cleaning Kit

Shipping fees may apply to some packages shipped outside of the U.S.
You are responsible for any additional fees applied by customs.

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. Members cannot nominate themselves.

5. Members may only win this title once per year.

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

7. 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.

This year's winners who are now ineligible for nomination:
January: @BakedARea
February: @Rexer
March: @Grand Daddy Black
April: @Bill284
May: @HappyHazmat88
June: @Emilya Green
July: @Carcass
August: @Melville Hobbes
September: @StoneOtter
October: @InTheShed
November: @Buds Buddy

December Nominees​

@Fuzzy Duck

I really put a lot of thought into this months nomination. I actually went back through the threads I have started, wanting advice, and there are 3 names that appear over and over again, sharing advice, with kindness, with knowledge, with interest.

PhytoplanktonSmokingWingsFuzzyDuck

I just wish I could nominate all three. But with 2023 looming close I have ample time lollling.

I want to thank all three posters. For being such fabulous guides to growing. I have learned so much from each of you. None of you know me on a personal level, yet you are always first on the scene when I need advice and reassurance.

This month through my eenie meanie miny moe process of elimination, my nomination is Fuzzy Duck.

Thank you Fuzzy Duck. You are so appreciated, and I really hope December is your month to shine.

Fuzzy Duck FTW!

@Garybo

I would like to nominate Garybo for December Member of the Month.

Garybo has been on the site for a while and always has a welcoming word of advice or greeting for new members.

He is the kind of members we need around the site, always willing to go out of there way trying to help others.

When the need arises, he directs new members to the sponsors that can help the most with their questions and needs.

Often generating a positive environment that encourages open and honest conversation, that is not only constructive, but informative.

Don’t vote until you give Garybo a look.

@Azimuth

I'd like to nominate @Azimuth for this month's MOTM.

Azimuth has taken it upon himself on multiple occasions to go above and beyond for a member with a question. He always provides lucid and appropriate information to those in need and not only does that, but continues to follow up with them and/or their grows to ensure all is going well and to help keep things moving as they should.

To boot, he started the SIP thread recently and it has become quite the sensation across the site. There are people flocking over there like the birds in Capistrano and he maintains and continues to add tangible depth to the thread. He has helped so many members alone, just by offering that platform.

To close, like any great member would, I see him engaging with new members and being an overall positive energy on the forums.

@Phytoplankton

I would like to nominate Phytoplankton for December's Member of the Month.

Phyto has been nominated 5 times this past year and has yet to win but he was oh so close in November. Wouldn't it be a wonderful Christmas present for him to finally win the award that he really deserves?

Here's a recap of his nominations:

"He almost silently goes around doing work like we wish fairies would in our gardens, answering
any and all questions with fluidity and ease. Also falling into the categories of this nomination
of being friendly, welcoming and helpful and currently not showing us any grows of his own."

"Every time a new question or issue is posted, Phyto seems to be right there ready to help however
he can. He seems to be quite knowledgeable about growing cannabis."

"He knows his stuff, helps with clear and knowledgeable advice and is always supportive. Lord
knows how many less experienced growers will have benefited from his postings. For that alone,
he's a worthy contender and deserves recognition."

"This member is very active, personable, knowledgeable, and promotes sponsors. They are constantly
greeting new members and giving good information on top of personal experience to back information...
So with that said all boxes checked in my book for a nomination."

Phytoplankton is the kind of 420 member who should win Member of the Month. Let's finally give him the recognition he so well deserves as evidenced by the fact that he's been nominated 5 times this year.

@Gee64

I’d like to nominate Gee64 for MoTM. The amount of knowledge that Gee has and happily shares is astounding. He is always friendly and more than willing to explain topics in an easy to digest manner. He is responsive, courteous, and follows up with anyone he has given advice to. I think he’d be an exemplary MoTM

Good Luck Everyone! ​

 

[Tokin Roll]

Come on, enter a fellow member that you believe deserves this recognition.

There is many deserving, but no one submits them for this recognition.
Take the time and be a friend.

Stay safe, and grow well my friends,
Tok..

 

[Renee Roberts]

Don't forget, today's the last day to get your nominations in!

 

[Doctor Trevor]

Since no one has been nominated, I nominate myself!

My advice hasn't killed anyone all month and I haven't been arrested lately; I know how to properly use semi-colons.

[StoneOtter]

Another gut wrenching vote! You all are super people!

 

[Azimuth]

Wow! An honor to be nominated, and in the company of many other very helpful growers I see constantly around the site.

Good luck everybody.

 

[Melville Hobbes]

I had to flip a coin this time!

 

[Keffka]

Wow.. That’s a tough vote.. That’s a good sign to me though, that means we have some incredible members that all deserve recognition.

 

[Phytoplankton]

Thanks (again) for the nomination! Great candidates.

 

[Fuzzy Duck]

After all these years it is still a pleasure to get mentioned in MOTM & the last month of year


I'm not nearly as active as I use to be as times have change over the years & I wish you all... a Merry Xmas

Best wishes for 2023 & the community
