You're Welcome!

Could you please add a description to/methods of acquiring your award? A rare light bulb as in a brilliantly good answer? Please keep in mind anti-awards need to be a little pessimistic in nature; that's where the fun truly lies in. :wink:

FEB29

This is can awarded to the members who are extremely opposite of Regular, appears in community just like February 29. They can said to be regular but in different sense, frequency is close to ‘Zero’ but not zero just like mathematical Limits.

Box

The award goes to users who are unable to think outside the box, and who can only find problems, not solutions...

Although an amusing idea, isn't there already enough public shaming on the internet? A better strategy might be to have a quiet chat with the "offending" person explaining the problem. Keep the awards for positive stuff!

My intention for introducing the anti-awards was to list things that people should not do in their projects, so they know to avoid disaster deep into their projects.

I have seen some confessions in this thread, but no naming of names yet.

Good mistakes should not go to waste.

We are all here to learn from our own mistakes and others' mistakes.

I have not seen any personal attributes referenced in this thread, and hope not to see such.

Thanks for the quick response. I appreciate your intent and welcome your promise not to single out individuals. I would hope that any such posts are removed.

You used the Ignoble Prize as a model. The Ignoble Price is to someone specific, for something specific. (Wikipedia lists them all.) Following your analogy, I assumed that was what you were proposing, which in my opinion, might have the effect of preventing possibly interesting apps from ever reaching the Gallery.

Perhaps it would be more productive to put it in a list, "you're a ___ if ___" format.
For example: You're a "Wheedlie" if:
You write the "longest thread without any sign of effort to learn anything, but only to wheedle a Power User into writing their app for them."

Anyway, it's just a thought ...

The "Sergio Pérez" Award

You may attain this award when your app breaks down unanticipatedly at the final stage, despite having run seamlessly before.
This award was inspired by the 2022 Bahrain Grand Prix, where Red Bull-Oracle Racing's driver Sergio Pérez's engine seized up on the final lap, causing him to retire.

That's because TIMAI2's a moderator. In this specific instance, he's edited your post to make it more legible.
