If you are missing the Best of 2009 emblem post in this thread. There could have been an issue with the push of so many emblems that day. What I would like to do is have you post in this thread "before" January 27th, which is the last day staff plan to grant emblems.

This thread serves for the purpose of comparing to see if you are on the current list of users who should have received the emblem.

In the meantime go ahead and vote again too. This way I can check to see if you are also in the batch that is pulled on January 27th.

Thanks!

EDIT: I was notified by staff yesterday about only 33 percent of the users received the emblem. Sorry for the miscommunication, from one staff to another. That means majority of you were on the original list but did not receive the emblem. Staff mentioned that on the 27th they will pull up the list again and there is zero doubt there will be any problems. If you voted on any of the pages (not all pages were required) you will see the emblem on your profiles. Note that as mentioned before the emblem may not show up immediately on the profiles as January 27th due to the cache needing to clear, so wait 24 hours before getting worried.

I'm sorry, but I don't know what you're talking about. Also, if I didn't vote before, can I still do it or is it too late for me?

I don't have it. Most of my votes are saved, some seem to be getting reset. Always the same ones.

I'm sorry, but I don't know what you're talking about. Also, if I didn't vote before, can I still do it or is it too late for me?

I don't know what you don't understand but voting is still open and you can go vote now if you want to.

I voted several times during December, and the bizarre thing is I went to try and vote now but each page acts as though I have already voted (which I have). Puzzling. Ah well. Cheers in advance Jody. :)

If you haven't received it be sure to vote again so the system catches it.

Well if it shows you already voted it then you should be caught with the other missing users on the 27th.

There were a few votes that weren't showing up as having voted for me, so I've completed those a second time just in case. Definitely didn't receive the emblem the first time through though.

I voted again on two of them, on another two (GOTY and Best PC Game) if I click to vote the results will fade in and out like it accepted the vote but the voting icons are still up and it doesn't show the results.

It doesn't look like I've gotten any new emblems since '07, although I participated last year. I just figured I'd just done something wrong... :P

I went back to try voting again, should I re-vote on everything all over again? Some of the categories are games I didn't play this year.

I voted the full ballot from this account on Dec. 26, but I didn't get the emblem in the recent batch. The votes did seem to "stick" for at least a day or two. After the emblems went out I went back and checked, and sure enough, the fact that I had cast my original votes had evidently been lost, because I was able to vote again. I have since re-voted several items from this account. The account that I monitored to diagnose the browser cookie limit issue also voted the full ballot (~ Dec. 30) and did not receive the emblem. I captured quite a bit of the related network traffic which I think could (in theory) be used to trace what became of the votes (if any record of them survives at all). I also saved web pages, and I've already uploaded a couple images showing full bitmaps of a couple of those pages. Something everyone might want to consider - you get the current voting result bar charts if you have the corresponding browser cookie. The fact that your browser has a cookie does not mean that the servers actually remember that you voted. The only way I know of to determine if the responding servers remember that you've voted is to try to vote again. To do that, you have to see the "vote" buttons, and to see those, you have to *not* have the corresponding browser cookie. If you see the vote buttons, and you try to vote, but the vote buttons fade and then just come back - *that* means that the responding servers think you have voted already, and the response you are seeing is apparently their way of preventing you from voting "again." So, to *test* whether the servers remember that you have voted or not, you have to clear your browser cookies first. I know it sounds screwy, but it's the only way you can run the test. If you've got a browser that supports separate profiles, you might want to make use of that to be able to keep separate sets of cookies around easily. As far as I can tell, we're stuck having to re-vote as much as possible, which doesn't really seem all that optimal...

I don't have the emblem, and I voted for every category back in December. I wasn't sure what you meant by voting again since I see the graphs, percentage of votes and number of votes for most categories, but upon looking further I noticed there are several categories where I can in fact vote again. How odd...

I voted but didn't receive the emblem. Just tried voting again and got halfway through Dubious Honors, but then kept getting redirected to GameSpot's home page. I'll try again tomorrow.

I didn't get my emblem either. I wasn't planning on voting again, but I suppose for you I can make a little time to go do so. :P I will go do that now before catching up on the boards from not being around yesterday.

Edit: Ok, I voted again in everything except genre awards since all the links there took me back to GameSpot's Home Page on both IE8 and Mozilla Firefox 3.5.7

Okay, I went through and voted on everything I didn't hit on yesterday. It looks like my votes were saved finally (3rd time's the charm!), since there were quite a few that didn't have the vote button showing.

I didn't seem to have any problems with being rerouted to the gamespot home page, it let me vote all the way through on Chrome.

I voted for everything right when the feature went up, but it appears a lot of them didn't register or something, because I can vote for them again (unless that's intended). I went back and voted for a couple again.

I didn't get mine from last year either, I'm beginning to wonder if it has something to do with having signed up through Gamefaqs before registering here...
I did find this at the Spam Filter though, might interest you:

Also, if you look at your profile and notice that the Best of 2008 emblem is missing please send me a PM with the subject title "Best of 2008 emblem" and I'll grant the emblem at my earliest convenience.JodyR

I haven't received an emblem and I voted in every single category before the GS results were even unveiled multiple times...multiple times because it logged me out while voting and I had to do it all over again. I didn't leave comments in every category, but I know I left comments in some of them, so you can confirm that I did indeed vote.

EDIT: I tried voting again. It logged me out twice, and on several of them, the Flash tried refreshing after I clicked vote, but would just flicker. And I couldn't even get to the GotY page...I'd click on it and it would redirect me to the main page.

It certainly couldn't hurt to vote again. If you can't vote it means you already voted and will get it regardless.
