Hall of Fame V - Voting

As a reminder, since the site is less active, there shall be less winners than previous years.

Welcome to DART’s fifth official Hall of Fame induction process! This thread is for the second stage of that process, namely, the voting stage. During this stage, users (you) may vote for the various nominees in each category (users, debates, miscellaneous) for inclusion in the Hall of Fame. The two nominees with the most votes in each category will be inducted into the Hall of Fame.

 

Any user will be able to vote for up to two nominees per category for a maximum of 6 votes per voting user. Voters may choose to vote for less than the maximum number if they choose. You may vote for any of the nominees who have advanced out of the nomination stage. The voting process will close at approximately 12:45pm, PST, on 03/23/24. Votes cast after the close of the process will not be considered.

 

When you vote, you are encouraged to offer a brief justification for, explanation of, or reason for your vote. Please also bold your votes to make them more visible.

You are permitted to change your votes within reason.

 

Those nominees with the most votes (2 per category) will be inducted into the DART Hall of Fame. In the event of a tie preventing exactly 2 inductions per category, the voting window will be extended for just those tied nominees. Those inducted will be formally honored with entries in the Hall of Fame thread.

 

There are no prerequisites or eligibility requirements for users to participate in the Hall of Fame voting process, except that they have an account on DART and are not voting/nominating from more than one account. Importantly, please don’t engage in coordinated vote trading and such, as that would be incongruous.

 

 

Choose up to two from each category.

Moderation changes or actions should not make it to any website's hall of fame, it just goes to show how dead the website is.

If someone new to the website looks at it and goes to the hall of fame to see what is considered fame-worthy debates here, they do not usually wish to fall asleep reading it. Both of these debates are not only stimulating start-to-end but cover very hot topics where one side is playing society's devil's advocate. In the drugs all being legalised one, the society's devil's advocate won.

Going to start with voting for one from each category. I'll likely add more later...

Ramshutu - I calculated before that he was responsible for something insane like 80% of the votes on the first page of the leaderboard (obviously no longer true),  and to this day only two people have surpassed his count. I assume those votes helped encourage people to stick around, which is massively beneficial to the site and community therein.

Derek Chauvin was not a racist - I'm obviously biased.

Lemming.
