    MFFA's Character of the Month June 2016: Nominations

    in [ MUGEN LOUNGE ]

    Posted

    Its time for another CotM. After community feedback, we have decided to implement a new rule:

    • Mugen Creators can no longer nominate their own creations.

    Note that this only applies to the nomination stage of CotM. You are still allowed to vote for your own creations assuming that they pass the nomination phase.

     

    Nominations & Voting Rules

    • You may nominate up to 4 characters per month.
    • You may only nominate a character that was released and/or updated during the given month.
    • You cannot nominate a character that you created yourself. You are, however, allowed to vote for them should they pass the nomination stage.
    • You cannot nominate characters that have previously won Gold or Silver in any previous Character of the Month.
    • Be specific as to which character you are nominating; include both the name and the author name and, if applicable, the release thread of the character.
    • To make things easier, we suggest that you append the number of nominations that the character has, including your own, when you make your nominations.
    • Characters that have been nominated by at least 3 different people will become candidates for voting. Candidates for voting cannot be nominated any more (as there is no real purpose to this)
    • Voting begins 15 days after the nomination period began, or once 20 characters have been nominated as candidates.
    • The Nomination period will end on the 16th of every month, while the Voting period will end on the 1st of the following month, with a 1 week extension given in the event of a tie. The winner will be announced at the end of this period.
    • At the end of each month, the top 2 voted characters will be declared the Gold and Silver winners, respectively. In the event of a tie, voting will be extended by 1 week. If the tie is not broken by then, there will be no Silver winners for that month.
    • During this time, you will be permitted to vote for one character for CotM. So please choose wisely
    • You may choose to do a Counter-Nomination. Counter-Nominations can only be done on characters that have obtained at least 3 nominations for CotM. When doing a Counter-Nomination, you MUST list the reason(s) why you believe that the character should not be in the list of candidates. Note that if we, the staff of MFFA, feel that your reason for candidacy rejection is not adequate enough, we have the right to reject your Counter-Nomination. At least three (3) valid Counter-Nominations are required for a character to be removed from the list of candidates. You can only make one Counter-Nomination per month, which does not count towards your 4 nomination limit.
    • No collusion of any kind. If we find out that anyone has conspired with other users to nominate characters for the sole purpose of preventing another character from being nominated as a candidate by flooding the list of candidates until it reaches maximum capacity, those nominations will be null and void and all parties involved will be banned from participating in future CotM.

     

    That being said, May 2016 Nominations will end on July 18th, 2016.

     

    Blacklisted characters:

    • Any character that has already won CotM, a complete list of which can be found here

    • Zero by Ramzaneko & JKA - 1

    Looks like MA has decided to take things to a new level;

    "MFG owner has decided to ignore my warning about the copyright strike.

     

    We recommend everyone to start backing up whatever content was posted on mfg through third party web hosting services such as mediafire, etc... in violation of their respective TOS. It is likely all of the links posted on MFG will die in the next weeks.

     

    MFG owner has decided to go in an all out war. Until now we've only defended ourselves against attacks, but seeing how he is not willing to stop these attacks, it's time for him to face the consequences.  =/ "

    Oh and he also posted a dox on one of the people he banned, to make matters worse.

    By the way, don't bother asking them to remove your creations from their site if they're hosting it without your permission, they will just ban you and disregard your request.

    I know you said not to mention their attitude, but this is just a fair warning.

     

    I never said to not mention their attitude, just that it wasn't a factor in coming up with the decision to blacklist their download links.

     

    Of course that doesn't make their reaction any less scummy or irresponsible than it already is, fwiw.

    The other thing that makes Mugen Archive a unique case is that the majority of content available there can also be found on the author's respective website, so the only downloads affected are offline creations, which I'm sure other people/warehouses have also reuploaded.

     

    Also just because an adfly bypass exists, you can't expect all users to install add-ons or take convoluted measures to bypass dangerous ads. There are always going to be a handful of users or visitors who aren't as keen or tech savvy as some of us here and exposing them to a possible security risk just because they didn't take necessary precautions or know about the risks involved with adfly is not only something that we can't risk, but also an unrealistic expectation placed on these users.
