    2012 TOTM Guidelines and Rules

    Rules:

    1) Nominee must have been active on NHTOC in the past 30 days.

    2) Nominee must be a member of NHTOC for AT LEAST 6 months and have at least 100 posts.
    ....Candidates must meet BOTH of these requirements OR be a paid member.

    3) Once a member has won, they are not eligible to be nominated again for a 12 month period.

    4) Nominees will be notified thru PM that they're locked into the contest before their vehicle is to be featured.

    5) Nominees need to submit a completed TOTM questionnaire.
    ....Failure to submit write-ups before voting begins will result in removal from the contest.

    6) Voting will only be open to tenured members (see Rule 2).
    ....This is to ensure the fairest contest possible for all candidates.

    7) All nominations need to have a second posted to their nomination by a tenured member (see Rule 2).

    8) Nominees must currently own a Harley Truck of any year or any series (150, 250, 350, etc.)

    9) Self nomination OR self second is only allowed by a paid member in the nomination thread.

    10) Voting will be open for the last week (7 days) of the month. The Poll results will not be public.

    Each month winners will also be entered in the Truck of The Year contest.

    The way nominations work:

    1. Someone nominates Bob’s Harley Truck
    2. Someone seconds Bob's Harley Truck, and at this point, the nomination is official.
    2. Bob accepts the nomination, thus locking it in for voting.

    When nominating a tenured member you need to post:

    Member’s UserID: Who is it?
    Picture: 1 picture only, so make it a good one
    Year: Self explanatory
    Model: 100th anniversary, F-250 etc.
    Description: Describe what makes their truck stand out!
    Reason: A reason for the nomination that will motivate others to second the nomination.

    Short Version:
    Who they are, a picture, what they got and why they should win.

    If you do not have ALL this information, you MUST get it before the truck is officially entered:

    The person with the most votes WINS!

    To answer some questions you may have...
    Yes, I was "volunteered" to do the 2012 TOTM.

    Now my thoughts on the above short(er) 2012 TOTM Guidelines and Rules version.

    Rules...Sadly there must be some rules...I tried to make 'em much easier.
    Ten simple, less restrictive rules. Think of it like Dave Letterman's top 10 list.

    Must be a currently active NHTOC member. (self explanatory)
    DEF: Tenured member = 6 mos & 100 of posts or be a paid member.
    (I made the 100 post count kinda low to include the newer folks)

    All tenured members can win again after a year!
    (open it back up- instead of “Are you a paid member that has not won???)

    Every nominee needs to fill in the questionnaire even if just nominated.
    (I don't want to chase you down or worry about getting this information)

    Member needs to be nominated and have another member second the nomination.
    (This is to promote activity, participation, interest and friendship)

    --------------------------

    Now on the the GOOD part!
    Every winner get's a prize!

    I'm going to start with a new bottle of Wet Glaze 2.0
    This stuff is easy on/easy off, very slick and looks great!
    Something to touch and feel besides just bragging rights.

    What did you expect from me chrome auto parts?
    Everybody, no matter what year truck they have, has paint!

    --------------------------

    For TOTY I hope to purchase a sweet trophy for your mantle.

    --------------------------

    I hope you enjoy the NEW 2012 TOTM.

    Effective immediately, all future TRUCK OF THE MONTH winners will receive a gift/prize as a token of appreciation.
    After the TOTM administrators have deemed you as the winner shoot me a PM with your mailing address.
    Don't forget to mention which monthly winner you are!

    We are back dating this to January 2012 as well. Prior 2012 winners be sure to shoot me a PM.

    Way to go Merlin. I am sure Big D will have no problem with this as someone needs to step up and run with it. If anything, I will be the first to say that you did reach out to me in regards to this and I (as the previous moderator) have given the OK to run with this. Until we can get you made a moderator in the TOTM section, I will help out best I can with moderator stuff.

    Merlin, I don't understand your last 2 sentences. What do you mean by "prior 2012 winners" . Thanks, Dick

    OK, You got me...the prior to me getting TOTM duty (the January greyhd) winner.

    Well as you know it's March and I just got tossed the ball on the TOTM 2012 contest.
    I'm trying to make it a little different, interactive and add more member participation.

    A little more than just bragging rights...
    I just purchased a CASE of Wet Glaze 2.0 and I will send one FREE to each 2012 TOTM winner.

    One Exception!
    February TOTM 2012...as much as it pains me...(for Feb.)...just for fun...is the DIRTIEST Harley Truck!!!
    February got skipped during the "Passing of the torch" so for that one I sending the winner BFWD sealant!

    The TOTM rules list isn't that huge...actually it is a LOT less than it was earlier!

    Again...Welcome to NHTOC... We are glad your here!

    Not to worry, a few welcome new members posts and a couple of months and you'll be there.



    Thank you for joining us and being part of the NHTOC community!

    Do you have someone in mind for TOTM?

    A lot of other forums are worse.
    These are just basic rules to make sure you are a definate HD truck enthusist and not just a troll or someone whose first post is to sell their truck.

    We're all ears if you have some suggestions for a simpler way to do it?

    ....Candidates must meet BOTH of these requirements OR be a paid member.

    This isn't too huge of a list to meet. Very simple. Become a "Paid Member". Then you can put a truck up.

    Welcome to the NHTOC.
