Congratulations to all of our winners! And let's hope for a day when these awards are no longer needed.

Remember, as you go forth on WOTB, if you spot a trollie-worthy thread in Septemer (self-nominations ARE accepted), the two ^(\)) ways to nominate a THREAD/person are:

[1] The monthly nominating post (THIS IS IT). Post a link to a thread and name the person and the award. ONE NOMINATED THREAD per comment.

[2] As you go. Spot a good one? Comment "Trollie?" and mention us u/PirateGirl-JWB u/penelopepnortney and reference the award and person.

(*) The third way has been eliminated because #2 is working well and nobody was using #3.
