King of Belch was nominated as comback poster of the year.

Considering that he has now been banned, should he be disqualified?

I'm leaning toward yes, unless someone can convince me otherwise.

Seems that most people 'round here enjoy the anonymity of it all-- we can post whatever we want without disclosing names, emails, etc. without any repercussions outside of mgopoints, banhammers, or the insufferable plight known as BLOG SHAME.

So when I saw you asking people to email you, I couldn't help but wonder if that would backfire, asking people to expose their own personal emails for the greater good of MGoBlog.

I'd consider going the poll route-- there's a lot of good poll generators out there that are very easy to use, and I know Misopogon, myself and others have used them with great success here in the past. And if you do, I'd suggest not giving readers the option to see current results-- it makes your final winner announcement anticlimactic and also can sway readers to cast the underdog vote.

Good luck and hope it works out for you.

I know the opportunity has passed but if the voting structure is changed would it be too late to nominate 'Blue in Yarmouth' for the best commenter category? Our resident (I guess one of our resident) Canuck is way too friendly to not get at least a nod.
