On my local forum everyone is very nice and chimes in with "well deserved" , "congrats", "very nicely done", etc. However, this is local where most of the guys know eachother offline.

IMO, we just need to make it clear that this isn't a "my car is better than yours" competition/poll. It's more about every month selecting one individual to honor his or her efforts with his or her car. This can be honoring someone for their modding efforts, their picture taking efforts, etc. depending on the theme of that month. The idea is that if there are 10 candidates 9 did not get "rejected".

Plus if the poll is public I can't see how people will start calling BS. Cant argue with the majority.

If you guys think this would be a big issue, however, here's an idea:
Make the ROTM random - If it's possible, to select out of only those who have at least X amount of posts min. and have logged in at least X amounts of times last month. I would rather this thing be about the some what active users of the forum.
