We're going old school, it's 1st Generation again!
Nominations are open for the June 2009 ROTM. We are going to run this until 15May at midnight central time, unless we need more time for more nom's. Then we start the fun part, the voting and campaigning for your favorite ride and CF personallity.


Remember the rules before you nom and accept.

The first order of business is to set up some hard fast rules. I will be monitoring the nominations threads very closely to avoid any confusion upon voting.

Eligibility

To be eligible a member must have a photo album. This is to ensure pics end up in the voting thread, so that the casual user can know who he is voting for. Anyone being nominated must also be an active member. This means he or she must have had at least 5 posts in the previous month. No one car can win ROTM twice in the same year regardless of catagory, but, if you happen to have more than one car, you can win once with each car. Also, a member cannot win the same ROTM catagory twice in a row with the same car. This means that bi-annual catagories can be won a maximum of once per year by a single car, and that annual catagories can be won a max of once every other year by the same car.

Nominations

Timmy nominates camarobob for ROTM
Jimmy 2nd's the nomination for camarobob
camarobob sees that he has been nominated twice and accepts his nomination thus ensuring his spot on the ballot.




In any given month, each user will have 2 nominations. You can give only a single first nomination andyouhave the ability tosecond someone else's first nomination, you cannot second your own first nomination. You cannot nominate yourself. Both of your nominations can be used to second previous nominations.

Nominations will take place during the first week and a half of the month PRIOR to the month of interest (ie, if we are doing march ROTM, nominations will start on Feb 1st and run for 2 weeks).

Because we are a reletivelysmall community right now the rules may be fudged somewhat in the interest of filling the ballot. However, if nominee #6 fulfills more of the requirements than nominee #3 (if for instance #3 did not accept his nomination) then #6 will win the ballot slot. If you are nominated without all of the requirements and decide to make the necessary updates be sure to PM me (or the moderator overseeing the current ROTM nominations thread) that the updates have been done. This way, if the entry comes down to a time stamp, we will be able to make a fair call as to who gets into the competition.

Once Nom'ed
Most of the time nominations will not take up the entire two weeks. Once a member is nominated it is his or her responsibility to PM me (or whoever is looking after ROTM at the time) with a URL to the picture they want used during voting (max 800x800 pix), and the URL of his or her photo gallery, as well as (optional) a brief description of the car to appear below the picture. The message can include mods, times, resto, or originality information. Do not waste your time making a long message because there are size constrictions and an overly long message will be reduced in size until it is illegible anyways.

id like to nominate orocker

Shouldn't this be for June?

^^ what is that about? apparently we have a noob that doesnt get it.....

i nominate SIR SCOOCH

i also nominate 69

i also nominate lord cpl

whammer.... follow the rules. also... scooch is ineligible. he won last time

sorry...i got trigger happy. i thought it was in the same year? oh man, that was january wasn't it...my apologies

i would like to nominate 69 officially then

no big deal. excitement isnt necessarily a bad thing lol

i dont think past winners should be eligible unless there isnt enough to nominate

past winners at all? i don't necessarily agree with that...but that's just my .02

wasn't there someone else on here who had a pretty nice 68? i forget his name...

tommy

I second Orocker!

No past winners of the current year wham.

I'll nominate Gorn.

I appreciate the nom anyway Wham!!! Its the thought that counts!!

I nominate mogvet
http://www.camaroforums.com/forum/picture.php?pictureid=1435&albumid=231&dl=1239618060&thumb=1

Orocker ALL The Way!!!!!!! WOOT!!!! Vote for O or I'll Keel You!!!

I'm going to nom Camaro 69. Do I really need to say why? I think we've all seen him posting in the tech sections trying to help us out, and he's got a really nice car.

There is only a few First Gen Camaros owners that have posted photos in the gallery and only a small amount that have 5 posting in the last month i would like to second mogvet's nom but it looks to me like he is a new member but only has 2 posting in april also i would like to nom brian_rs/ss but also he only has aa few postings for last month is there a way around the 5 posting limit when your choise's are limited

i think brian is the guy with the 68, right?

Yeah the black one, he was one that was talking a bunch of crap about how he would win the ROTM i figured it was time to put up or shut up

i was unaware he was talking crap like that...guess he won't be getting a vote from me, lol

He didn't say anything or do anything wrong he just said he would undoubtably win "in a joking manner" so lets see, he is just pretty proud of that camaro, as he should be it is one of the nicest first gen on the forum and should be in the running for the ROTM

well if he was joking then i have no problem with that. i do think that car should be in the voting

Well, I see it this way. A ROTM for the CF should be an "active" member. If we just nom people for their car and they aren't participating and contributing to the forum, then I see them as an "active" member. I don't want to change the rules on this just because we don't have that many 1st gens.

Tell me what you think, but please keep on topic also. I would like to have at least 3 noms for this ROTM, but more is better.

I can understand the inactive and active rule. The biggest problem that i see for right now, since the forum was been upgraded and all the problems that came with it we lost a lot of active members. There are is only a small amount of first gen camaros members that have posted photos in the gallery that are active and you can say that about the second gen members as well. There has to be a way to get them more involved. I think if they are new members or members that check in once in a while do to life issues or this F*@% up economy were they might have lost there job and had to give up there internet connection or had to take another job to make ends meet so they are not around the computer as much, they to should have a shot. Mabey that would help to get some of our members back and mabey keep the new one's from leaving. That is just my opinion.

Well we need some competition. I'ld like to nominate Gorn.

i nominate this car which has sucked all the money out of someone's bank account

my bad wrong file

Well we need some competition. I'ld like to nominate Gorn.


I beat you to it. We just need someone to second him. :)

I'll nominate Gorn.

1st Gorn nom.

This is a hard question to field. First thing is that in order to actually get into the ROTM running, you have to accept the nom, if they aren't posting regularly, then why would we expect to see them accepting the nom? Second, this is designed to be something special for the contributing members of CF, not the once in a while guy that's just here to post up a tech question when something goes wrong with their car. Not that I know of any such 1st gen person that has done this. This is for the joe camaro owner that's out to help other camaro owners and make this forum and great place for information about camaro's and a awesome asset to the internet as a whole.

Well we need some competition. I'ld like to nominate Gorn.

2nd Gorn nom, he needs to accept.

my bad wrong file

We need a name for this forum member please.

OK, I've been nominated twice, and I finally got some pics in my album.
Since that now makes me "legal", I accept.

Ok, I talked this over with the other mods and here's the deal. Since we don't have the big crowd for 1st gen, I'm going to make it so it doesn't have to be a "active" member per the rules. But they still have to accept, so if you think they have a shot, then PM them or something to get them in to accept the nom.

That is all, back to work monkey's!

I nominate mogvet
http://www.camaroforums.com/forum/picture.php?pictureid=1435&albumid=231&dl=1239618060&thumb=1I nominate mogvet

Come on guys, got 5 days left and only two accepted nom's, lets get at least one more please.

PM's have been sent to Gorn, Frostline, and mogvet. I think this should be something the person that nom's them should do, but I got this for this month.
