If a majority think they should be treated the same as other posts, then I'll reconsider.
If this statement by Richard still stands then mackem should have got a special award should he not? In which case he is right and I was wrong. So I apologise to him for that.

Future competitions

I'm making a bit of a change to the rules from this month onwards. We have some regular 'features, such as the quizzes and football comps, which deservedly get lots of thanks and frequently feature in the POTM prizes. However, I think there is a perception that potm awards can tend to be dominated by this category of post at the expense of other original topics and new members. Some may even withhold thanking these posts as a result - -which can't be right

From now onwards, I will exclude such posts from the main Post-of-the-month competition, but may promote some to a 'special' status and award 100 shares. The reasoning is that I think the spirit of potm should be to recognise and encourage substantive and original contributions on a variety of subjects, and it would also be good to see the prizes shared out amongst more members, especially newbies. I hope you can see my reasoning; competition posts can be a great asset to the site and I want to see the best ones properly recognised, whilst also ensuring that potm serves its original purpose of promoting valuable and original contributions :)

Note: someone receiving a 'special award' can still qualify for potm with their other posts.

Good luck to everyone in this month's competition. For a summary of how the competition works, click here.

Not specifically. See last paragraph viewtopic.php?f=2&t=892 that type of post is excluded from the competition.
Just check back to previous months results and you'll see you're wrong yet again
If you feel my answer is wrong and/or you feel that you have been hard done by then best to raise a query.
