POTM is a paradox thing; doesn't really fit into the ethos here. But I agree with Zoupa we need some contest of communal recognition. But to be consistent with the spirit of languish, it should be sarcastic, with a strong strain of mean-spiritedness; something that prompts bad blood, threats of ragequitting, and flamewars.
I propose:
The Worst Post of the Month award.
I agree. You are in charge of it. Get to work.
i nominate the opening post :P
When I saw the thread title, it made me think of the WNBA. :yuk:

I thought so too. I like the idea. :cool:
Honestly, there's so many terrible posts made that none really stand out. I myself make about a dozen a day. :blush:/ :cool: :hmm:

Well, I suppose this would need to be similar to those "worst book" or "worst movie" rewards - i.e. rewarding not actually the most dismal example of a given medium, but rather one that is so bad it is good (or vice versa) - i.e. actually stands out in its badness.

Lettow would probably win most of those then.
