Cheryle, "IIRC mods do NOT nominate for AOM, the members do " Actually, the Mods nominate the AOM artists and then we get to vote on the ones they chose. We used to be able to nominate artists for the AOM but after Legume won one month, the Administration changed the rules to make damn sure someone like HIM didn't ever win again. They changed the rules for the AOM because of Legume and now, it seems, they are changing them again. We vote for the AOM out of the Artists that the mods nominate so why in the heck is it that we don't get to vote for the AOY out of all the AOM winners. It is totally ridiculous to do it any other way which proves to me that somthing hokey is going on !
