It’s time for one of this site’s most beloved traditions: the annual commenting awards!

Here’s how it works. I’ll make a subthread for each of the categories listed below. Submit your nominations for each category as a reply, and upvote the ones you want to win. At the end of voting period at noon EST on December 27th, the nominee with the most upvotes will win the category. (You can upvote your own nominees. We here at The Avocado believe in practising self-love.)

By popular request, I’ve also included a subthread for random shoutouts. This subthread isn’t going to be used to determine any kind of award; it’s just a space for you to say something nice about a fellow community member.

Here are the categories:

1. Hall of Fame Nominations (who and why)
