Tell us who was a model member in July. What are we looking for? Service to the community, initiation of engaging conversations, having well-expressed insights, or just plain being friendly. Who makes this community a great place to be?
Previously, we have honored shaxper for starting this whole crazy thing up and jasoomian for his work on the front page. Since then, a lot of effort has gone into bringing this forum to its current look, which is worth recognizing. Also great effort has been put in by our fearless moderators. And of course, the most valuable piece of the community is the people who tell us interesting things about classic comments.
So go ahead and vote! And remember...
The M.M.M.s want you!
The process: 1) Each month a thread for voting will be started, usually within a few days of the start of the next month 2) Either nominate a poster or vote for a poster who has already been nominated by posting in the thread. 3) Each member may make at most one nomination in addition to at most one vote on another nominee. 4) Each nomination should include a brief (sentence, say) explanation. Votes may or may not include this. 5) Voting will conclude precisely 1 week after the thread opens, and the winner will be announced soon after.
Examples: If the person you wanted to nominate has already been nominated, then just vote for that person. If the person you want to nominate hasn't, then nominate them! Be sure to include an explanation After your nomination, if another great candidate is nominated, go ahead and vote for them.

I'm nominating mrp for his dedication, knowledge, friendliness, and hard work as a mod and community member.
(Plus, he's a Sox fan!)

I didn't think we were supposed to list reasons the person shouldn't be nominated. I kid! And I add a vote for mrp.

mrp sounds good to me.
Though I remain unclear which shaxper is the evil one.

It's more degrees of evilness than either/or.

To paraphrase Charles Barkley-I am not a model member, just because I do things here doesn't mean I should get your comics...um I mean..... -M

mrp is absolutely overdue at this point, and he's got my vote. However, I also want to tell all of you about a model member who did something that, likely, none of you knows about. When classic shaxper raided the board the other week, in addition to offering hilarious threats to fart on people's heads, his primary intent was to create conflict between two discussion forums, posting in each that he was the administrator of the other (and including a link). That other forum (which shall remain nameless) has a lot of hothead members that might well have bought into what he was pulling, but bronzeagebrian, upon reading kurggomaul's post alerting us to this, found the forum, signed up, and then posted to explain to everyone there that it wasn't actually me. He went the extra mile to avert some potentially big problems for this community, taking the time to respond to posts by members there and even accusations that he was classic shaxper, and no one even asked him to. Thus, mrp is overdo, and we've passed him up enough times already, but bronzeagebrian is absolutely deserving of some serious recognition and, perhaps, your long-term memory next month

mrp for putting a quick end to Bizarro shaxper's rampage. I'd forgotten about that. Yeah, that alone would get mrp my vote, but of course there are lots of other reasons too. For example, the "mid-life crisis" reading project thread. So yes, my vote goes to mrp.

I'm going to vote for him just because he is a Sox fan, even when we are in last place.
