420 Magazine's Member of the Month: June 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 T-shirt, 420 Magazine Lighter, 420 Magazine Magnet, 420 Magazine Stickers
GeoPot: Five 3 Gallon GeoPots
Geoflora Nutrients: 2lb Geoflora Veg & 2lb 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

Shipping fees may apply to some packages shipped outside of the U.S.
You are responsible for any additional fees applied by customs.
Additional Details On Prize Shipping & Customs Duties

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 Nominees​

@Farmer Reading

I would like to nominate Farmer Reading for this month's MOTM.

FR is ALL over this forum. He is an active community participant and a positive 420 soul.

He offers humor and positivity when he frequents a journal and is always willing and able to provide any type of constructive criticism or direction without making the grower feel inadequate.

He is a master grower and is a fine role model for this community and its new and existing members.

He is a well known friend and a happy name to see pop up, knowing he is nothing but good energy!

@SmokingWings

I would like to nominate SmokingWings for June's Member of the Month. SW is active in the introduction forum welcoming new members as well as the growing forum where he dispenses growing advice as needed.

@Tokin Roll

I would like to nominate Tokin Roll as motm June. Tokin is always active here and helping new members by providing links to helpful information regarding grows, questions, and sponsors.....plus he's friendly and carries a great demeanor when addressing everyone, which helps make this sight more welcoming especially for newcomers. Over all an awesome and valued member to the community in my eyes.

@Carcass

I’d like to nominate Carcass for Member of the Month.

He is the most helpful member and he grows like a grow Jesus. Carcass is not only welcoming and super helpful, he also makes you feel special, like not like a window licker special, like extraordinary special.

He is such a fabulous member and his current grow tutorial is changing the way people grow.

So for those reasons I vote Carcass FTW.

@TwelveCoffee

I would like to nominate @TwelveCoffee as he's a new, enthusiastic grower and a very good responder; highly interactive and has generated a decent conversation in a relatively short time - he's just a regular guy who found the site, signed up, and has nothing to prove which comes across clearly in his easy-going threads

@Skunksta

I would like to nominate @Skunksta for member of the month. He is highly skilled and knowledgeable. He has done fantastic work showcasing his sponsors products by producing some amazing plants. All round great guy and he is well respected in the community

@Phytoplankton

Phytoplankton is worthy of a MOTM nomination. He may not win many votes from established members because they might not know of him - he spends much of his time helping in FAQs and Problems, Pests and Diseases. However, I'd urge folk to check out his work in these forums. 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.

@Emilya

Emilya is usually seen in the FAQs and Problems, Pests & Disease Control forums, selflessly helping new members and old members alike with great, precise and detailed advice. She supports 420 Magazine whole heartedly and recommends our sponsors. She guides our members in the right direction, never asking for anything in return. She doesn't subscribe to the popular crowd mentality, her only concern is to make sure the member needing help gets exactly what they need.

Good Luck Everyone! ​

 

[Tokin Roll]

This is a blanket statement for all the contest.

I want to personally thank everyone that vote. Thank you.
This last month is the best turnout of voters I have seen, since I have been a 420 Magazine member.

Don't stop here; put a member in for this recognition, I will be.

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

Who exactly do I reach out to nominate? And I agree last month has had the most traction on the contest for votes since I've been here to.....made things exciting.

 

[Tokin Roll]

Good question, you can nominate anyone that is a active member.

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.

 

[Tokin Roll]

Time is running out get your nomination in while you can.

 

[Tokin Roll]

Have you consider entering a fellow member for this title?
If not why?

We have so many deserving members, take the time to consider someone else and enter them.

 

[Renee Roberts]

It's the last day, so be sure to get your nomination in ASAP

[bluter]

i have to admit i'm biased.

if i remember to vote at all, i generally vote for folk who don't have a script yet. even at that it's real hard.
there are some really enthusiastic newer members who are always upbeat and helpful. i really like seeing them get rewarded and encouraged.

nothing against the 'established growers'. if you look at the list the ones who have a script helped the others make it ..


edit : i should add i see a lot of 'well-knowns' i thought had a script. can i maybe pull a few more votes

 

[Roy Growin]

I agree @bluter

 

[TwelveCoffee]

As a new grower personally I find it hard to give advice mainly because I don’t want to be inaccurate or just screw another over.

But in terms of script which I’ve caught myself doing, sometimes I just don’t know what to say coming from very bad social anxiety (at least until I’m comfortable) couple years ago you wouldn’t catch me socializing at all but I do try; in return though I tend to repeat myself but I am trying to work on it.

I’m not sure why I was nominated other then the very thoughtful and heart warming message but in the end I am thankful and try to be friendly to everyone

I agree. I usually wait until the last day (when I remember) and try to vote for someone who hasn't won before.

This month's will be tough for me as there are at least 3 members I was planning on nominating listed plus the one I did nominate.
