It will be even better if you give a date/month for their latest post to be accepted them for the votes.

I addressed that part here. So by active users we understand users which were and / or are active during current year (and, of course, made notable contributions during this year).

My opinion is not to limit it. Let others to beat him and be better than him. Limiting means you are going to reward someone who might done less than him but still receiving the honour that was supposed to not for him.

Thank you for your feedback.

You guessed well

Are you telling me I am genius? 😉

Have I ever said something to make you think the opposite?

Hihi!

I appreciate I am heavily biased here given I have previously won the same category twice, but I wouldn't take this approach. You could easily end up in the situation where someone is deemed to have won, but someone else would have won the "popular vote", by getting more votes which were each worth less. I can already picture the arguments which could arise [...]

Thank you for your feedback.

I say keep it as it was the previous years and let the best members win, no matter how many times before they won the award.

Thank you for your feedback.

This would be the same as a football championship, starting with the previous year's winner with negative points. Something that doesn't make sense and doesn't happen.

You know, actually, this does happen

At least in Romania (I did not have time to search for the subject if it happened in other countries too). But in Romania, during past years, multiple teams demoted to second league started with a negative number of points. This happened for same reason: during the previous year, the teams did not pay their players. They made complaints to the Football League and the committee which judged these cases always gave same decision: the club has a given amount of time to pay the player(s), otherwise a number of points will be deducted from the points the team earned. At first offense they took, usually 3 points from the team's earned points. Then, if the team still did not pay after the given amount of time, they applied a second penalty -- maybe 3 points again or maybe more. And so on. This article describes the case of Astra Giurgiu, ex-championship winner of Romanian League, which, after being demoted in League 2, started the new year from -6 points.

Gaz Metan Medias, another case of Romanian championship, was sanctioned last year with 50 points, reaching a score of -27 points.

Articles are in Romanian, but this is less important. The idea is that it may happen

It will be to let the vote roll and see which users stood out for the community. We will certainly have repeaters, because it's almost inevitable and eventually we'll have rookies.

Thank you for your feedback.

The idea for the merits looks good to me!

Glad to hear that

Even though we are talking about a community event and there will be a lot of users that will have no right to vote, I think the changes will make it more fair than last year and thus more enjoyable for everyone!

We are really hoping so too! As I wrote with multiple occasions in the past, it's important to learn from what happened at previous events and try to make things better

I'd personally go for a "minimum of 20 posts during the last year" sort of rule instead of a maximum inactivity time but that's a rather personal opinion.

Thank you for your feedback.
