OTM Nominations and Voting Revamp!

It is my great pleasure to inform you that the Monthly Spotlights, or Of-The-Months, are undergoing a change for the better! Recently, you've had to wrangle with voter IDs or come up with half a dozen nominees off the top of your head — not so fun.

No longer will that be necessary. The new form can remember if you've voted or not, so we won't have to rely on you remembering a five-digit sequence of numbers to deter cheating (as it turns out, that deters voting too.)

For those of you that still are not jumping up and down to nominate or vote in the OTMs: We're launching a new Incentives program, to encourage participation in the OTMs process! What does this mean? For every nomination and every vote you send through, you get a certain number of points (depending on how thoroughly you complete the form.) When you've accrued enough points, you can cash them in for prizes on the site (TBD).

Edit: A list of prizes can be found here.
