Bring the receipts.

Nominate a change, not a person.

Focus on companies, products, services, or public institutions. Describe a specific deterioration and how it affects users or the public. No personal attacks, private information, threats, or harassment.

It has to get worse this year.

The nominated change must begin or materially expand during that award season. An old policy merely continuing, a new article revisiting an old downgrade, or a lawsuit settling years-old conduct does not qualify by itself. Older evidence can establish the “before,” but at least one receipt must support the in-season change date.

Be specific. Be supportable.

Explain the before, the after, and the damage. Include 1–3 dated, titled supporting links and identify whether each is an announcement, public record, independent report, or community evidence. Distinguish opinion from factual claims. Do not invent evidence or copy full articles.

One change, one nomination.

Check the suggestions before submitting. Different changes by the same company can be separate nominations; duplicates may be linked to the original. Votes are not transferred.

Open submissions. Human moderation.

Submissions publish immediately. Reports go to the administrator for review and do not automatically hide a nomination. Spam, unsupported accusations, and rule-breaking content can be hidden. Editors can award a “Receipts verified” badge after checking the cited evidence and can track whether a change is ongoing, partly fixed, reversed, or settled. Official results remain a snapshot of the ballot at closing.

Keep it fair enough to be fun.

No automated submissions, vote bots, or coordinated attempts to bypass the browser vote limit. We may rate-limit repeated requests.
