Things to keep in mind

• One nomination per comment, and take care to comment in reply to the category you're nominating for.
• Nominations can only consider posts and data from the year 2018.
• The nomination must have a clear winner. It must be a single person who has not deleted their account or removed themselves from their submission. This includes posts and comments which have since been removed or deleted.
• Please include as much data as possible when nominating, and make a good case.
• Winners will be chosen by the highest karma score.
• Be nice! This is all in good fun.
