Honestly your just turning a generally positive forum into a vicious, bever hills 90210-esque backstabbing festival.
Crap like this is just so people can feel better about themselves in superficial ways, and serves no purpose in the community other to spurn hatred of the winners. So just get rid of it all.

True in a way, not true in another way.
MotM was not really a problem. We initially decided to stop doing this because we realised the way we were doing it will eventually lead to problems you have mentioned, just not yet. So instead of keeping this thing up, we decided to stop till we find a better way to do it.
We have thought of another way, which may be posted up soon, though we are not sure if that's going to be better yet. We're going to try it anyway, and see how it turns out. If it doesn't turn out well, then we may probably have to scrape the whole idea in the end. Anyway, I won't go into details about the new thing yet.
Though, with the first three MotMs, there were no "vicious, bever hills 90210-esque backstabbing festival" or members "feel(ing) better about themselves in superficial ways", lol. If there were... I'm sure we would have heard the complaints already.
@Sparky: Please, please, please
read the posts before jumping to say the previous MotMs were just "lucky". We have explained our reason for selecting the MotMs (and even provided links for "reference"). They very well deserved it.
