Hey... I sent a nomination 3 days ago, why is it not here?
There are numerous reasons the Brainwashed Poll Committee turns down nominations
- Already entered.
Entire entries might get tossed if you're entering something already in the list. This is why it's important to read the entire nomination list.
- Missing/incorrect information.
Fill out all fields. If fields are missing, the entry is rejected. If the information can't be verified, it won't be entered.
- Funky characters.
Sorry, but the rules asked for no non-Western English characters, if a nomination had odd characters then the system rejected it.
- System lost it.
We live an imperfect world of computers that hate humans.
- No decision has been made yet.
The committee has other agenda on their plate.
- A nomination wasn't released or reissued in 2024.
A re-pressing doesn't constitute a true reissue package...
- It was on last year's poll (even if it had a digital release in 2023 and physical release in 2024, it may be omitted)
