I don't want to influence people's votes too much, but I was wondering how many users would nominate EZ0010 for one of the awards
I was thinking more or less the opposite: theymos deserves the Fail of the Year award for sending Bitcoin to the wrong address 
Even though obviously it can happen to the best, it can still serve as a warning to thoroughly check each transaction before sending. Usually that warning is for Newbies, but it turns out experienced users need to be reminded once in a while too.Quote
can I leave out some categories?
That's what I did last year.new users especially seem to build up certain users as gods for a lack of a better term
Boy was I wrong as a Newbie!I will try to be very flexible and make a few exceptions to the rules (for example, if the user gets 50 merit after they voted).
I would have expected the opposite to avoid abuse. I'm just thinking I have enough sMerit to send 50 Merit to at least 30 users who vote in my favour
