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.
 
This thread hasn't been too active. But some of you have. So thank you for some great nominations this month. Some big names and some fresh names, which is always good to see. Everyone vetted by 420 Magazine staff, and all are most worthy and, at the very least receive our sincere thanks for all their contributions, content and general cheer.

Good luck to the following. All comments are edited from member nominations. Vote in the poll at the top of the page.

Modest Grower
“I want to nominate Modest Grower primarily for his new thread “A Modest Attempt At A 101 Growers Guide”. It’s a great idea as he covers all the basics for newbies in a practical, illustrated way. Although he’s mostly in the rosin thread and journals, he’s funny, informative and his posts are always sensible and well written. For your consideration, please.”

FelipeBlu
“I'd like to throw FelipeBlu's hat into the ring. He's been all over lately and is loaded with excellent information. It's time for him to get a chance in this contest.” “FelipeBlu has been everywhere, including helping out with members’ problems, contributing to multiple journals and welcoming members who introduce themselves. He’s classic MOTM material!”

Emilya
“Emilya obviously puts time and care into her gardens - but the these those things pale in comparison to the time and care she spends on any member here that needs help. I feel that she could easily meet the requirements as a MOTM candidate in any month. She doesn't just post solutions to problems - she explains the issue, what causes it, and why she posts the suggestion(s) that she does. In short, she doesn't just fix plant problems, she also fixes gardener problems.”

Baron Von Blurple
“The Baron is supportive, helpful in FAQs and with growers’ problems, runs a great journal himself and most importantly is unfailingly upbeat, supportive and an all-round good guy. His advice is always careful and measured and he tells it like it is but in a reassuring way!”

Oldsmokey
“Smokey is incredibly involved with giving out grow advice. And his advice is solid as it comes. He is also very kind to everyone - I don’t think there is a cruel bone in this man's body. He unfailingly encouraging of newcomers and well-known members alike. He can always be counted upon to help out diagnosing issues. He is someone that I honestly believe deserves this award high above anyone else.”

Scottsquatch
“He welcomes new members warmly, he knows his lighting, is always good to see in the Lounge, answers in FAQs and is consistent and consistently supportive. I believe that he is a valid consideration for your MOTM.”
 
Wow, thank you to whomever nominated me, I'm very honored. I often joke that I feel like I'm walking around in a mustard stained T-shirt while everyone else here is wearing a tuxedo.It is why I love this place because you can often tell the direction you are headed by the people you interact with.

My journal at best offers an additional perspective on what many people here have or could cover, but at the very least it allows me to interact with all you great people. Thanks again!

God bless you for your nomination. After barely a year of growing to be even nominated with the outstanding growers here is a green victory !

I humbly thank you for your consideration.
 
Wish I could vote, just not so familiar with you amazing souls helping to further our mission :adore:

Stuck working with trolls and putting out drama fires most of the time.

Given my extensive feedback and experience with the trouble makers, is there a contest for them I can vote in?

Keep up the great work everyone, we are truly grateful for you! :thanks:

¡Hola 420!

Thanks for keeping the bridge safe! ;)

The hard work that you and the rest of the :420:staff perform does not go unnoticed. Your maintenance of this space is truly appreciated. The few times I wander into another site only reinforces my love for what has been provided for us here!
:Namaste:
 
Apologies. The little man who peddles hard here to keep the internet going went off for a coffee, preventing Teddy posting at midnight PST.

Many congratulations to OldSmokey. First in a quality field. Thank you, and all our nominees, for all your contributions, support, knowledge and great attitude.

:bravo:
