The Deberg Penalty

[Gonzo]

This idea was mentioned in another thread and has had a great response.
Floppy and I have discussed a little and I want more input. Please see the quote from said thread:

We'll call it the Deberg rule.

My questions for you all are:

1. If certain posters don't want to participate, do Flop and I force them?

2. We would do this monthly, utilizing a poll. Is that amicable or should we go less/more punishment?

3. If a poster gets this award multie times in a year, is there a more severe penalty we'd agree on?

4. I would like a different poster to run the event each month. Handling the nominations for dumbass threads, etc. I can sticky the nomination thread if you'd like.

5. Floppy and I would have the overall authority/final judgment if things get stupid or if we can't agree...(but only if needed).

Btw: it wouldnt necessarily have to be just three participants each month. We can go up to five or seven if needed. Up to you all. Rainman is good at organizing pole.

Let me know what the plan is.
Thx all.
