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.

Algae Award
Introduction
Algae is a autotrophic organism. The things mentioned here are mostly about autotrophic organisms, but, the term algae is used to make it an anti-award, else if, the term autotrophic was used, it would be rather an award instead of an anti-award.
Description
The one who marks his own reply as solution to his own post, even if it was not the actual solution.
Any doubts about why I'm making this `anti-award` ?
This is because I know such people in the MIT AI2 Community.
Will not be mentioning.
Criteria
- At least 15 solution markings to your own topics.
- All the solution markings to your own posts should have such solutions that aren't solutions actually, i.e., they'd not be correct solutions.
- Atleast 5 solutions should be off-topic.
#off-topic About the number of edits.
I've edited this so many times and so much to provide the best content possible, including fixing some typos.
Have you seen such people in the MIT AI2 Community ? ( Don't mention )
- Yes
- No

The Vanishing Cream Cup Award
Questions usually get answers/solutions within minutes on the community. Some users ask a question, and then completely disappear for weeks/months/longer, before returning to either ask another question or say thank you for the solution.
I somewhat admire this relaxed attitude to app development

I saw five such people just today, for three of them, I provided the Solution to their problem, they saw it, but they didn't mark it, other two, just created the topic, and have vanished.
