Over the last couple of day's it has become clear to me that I have made an almighty cock-up on MOTM and caused Mr I a huge injustice.
Mr I received the most reputation points in December (by a distance), but I did not award him MOTM because I (mistakenly) thought that once a member had won MOTM they could not win it again. When I checked the rules yesterday I realised I was wrong and a member can win it once per calendar year. I thought that was just an unfortunate, but simple mistake I had made.
However, (to my horror) I have now realized that MR I has NEVER won MOTM...I would have put my mortgage on that he had previously won it. To make matters worse it is likely that in previous months Mr I has scored the highest reputation points and won MOTM and I have overlooked him.
The upshot is I have dealt Mr I a real injustice and I am totally at fault and I have passed on my sincere apologies. Thankfully Mr I has graciously accepted my apology.
For the record Mr I did not want me to publish this apology, but I want to because it is right to do so. We have some great members around here and Mr I is one of them.
To this end MR I is the first ever recipient of the annual Member of the Year award. Apart from the title there will be some sort of badge of honour, but I’m working on that…ideas?
Regards,
Simon
