Nominations For The March 2017 BOTM Are Now Open

Post by The_Professor »

INFO ON NOMINATIONS AND VOTING
Any member of BeerBorg.com is eligible to be nominated for the Brewer Of The Month.
A member may make one nomination. It is helpful to post why you are making the nomination.
A member may make any number of seconds.
Any member that receives a nomination and second from separate persons will be included in the poll.
A previous BOTM cannot be nominated again until at least one year after the month they were BOTM.
It is in bad taste to nominate or second yourself, but you are free to vote for yourself if you choose. (Don't blame anyone else if you lose by one vote. :) )
Rather than restrict nominations in some way the number of choices per poll are increased due to the number of nominees. There will be one vote up to 5 nominees, two votes with 6-10, and three votes should more than 10 members ever be nominated.
I'd better get the nominations for the March BOTM going.

Any suggestions?

Nominations open through the 9th.

Here are the previous nominees that are not eligible again yet (plus swenocha for February):

I'm nominate Jim Johnson posthumously. He was a good guy and a good contributor. It's unfortunate that we didn't give him the title while he was still around.

I feel that Jim being BOTM is an appropriate gesture.

Honestly, I thought this same thing when I saw the thread and came in here to suggest it. Clearly, not an original idea but one that seems to have a shared opinion.
So yeah, I agree.
