Just for clarification Chicx is there a usual or set number of Staff endorsements that are required for a nomination's passage?

It's a yes from me

We've all waxed lyrical regarding Neil's contribution to the forum without necessarily stating a simple "yay" or "nay" to actually verify our voting choice. I guess we're down to the nitty gritty now of actual voting. I don't think I actually confirmed my choice in my earlier post so just for the record it's a yay from me. Good luck Neil.

I think that part of the issue is a lot of members don't fully understand how this process works, myself included. A number of members appear to have voted with a "like" to the OP's initial post. I recognized several, including vincentwugwg who used the like button, to I assume place his vote?

It needs to be expressly stated with a yes or no.

I suppose with the recent surge in popularity of the awards program, I may need to rewrite and clarify some things.

No worries, I was simply pointing out what I had noticed. I think that I have always posted yay or nay when voting, but with the like buttons some members may be confused as to how the process actually works. It appears that way to me, but what do I know?

Just to make I think official, I vote Yes.

A simple system would be to type Yes or No, then an optional paragraph below explaining your reasoning if you wish to express yourself.

While I agree a clear yah/nay would be best I had pretty much assumed the same regarding Likes of the OP -- after all why would anyone take the time to Like the OP if they didn't agree with it and support the nomination? In fact the other recent Nominations likely face this same issue.

But I also don't know much about this process, so maybe with the evolution of MFK's Reaction buttons, and surging popularity of the Awards program, as Chicx says a future edit or clarification of the Requirements might be warranted.

Just made it really simple: posts in the Awards section can't be reacted to until the award had been issued
