Last week a few hundred users received the 2008 Readers choice emblem. We researched those who received the emblem and many of these users were not active in the forums or other areas of the community. We were aware of the voting problems you encountered and plan to give everyone three days to report in this thread.
Here is how you'll report that you did not receive the emblem. Post in this thread with the subcategories you selected. All of them is NOT an answer. Throw a few subcategories out there to amuse us.
Lastly, if the admins think you sound suspiciously like you just want a freebie emblem, you'll be contacted with numerous questions so be honest!
Submit your answer between now and Friday, March 13, 2009 at 12pm PT. After this coming Friday the emblem vault will be closed for this ghetto emblem.
Reminder: Stating you voted for all of them is not claiming the emblem and will not be considered when we grant the emblems on Friday.
But I did vote for all of them! =P I definitely voted for Game of the Year and the various Platform Awards. Oh, and best RPG of the year, have to vote there, you know!

Lounge 21 / YouTube / Last.fm / Giant Bomb / Raptr / ScreenedI voted for every category, but here's a few "for your amusement." :P -Game of the Year
-Best 360 Game -Best DLC -Best Graphics (Artistic) -Best Graphics (Technical) -Best New Character - Mar 9, 2009 5:23 pm GMT
I am pretty sure I voted for everything except for the best news story. Then I came back and voted for that later. I voted for Game of the Year, Best Action Adventure, and Best PS3 probably about four times each because I was making sure my votes for Metal Gear Solid 4 were counted.
I know I voted for the snowboard game for worst advertising. I voted for the air traffic control game for most surprisingly good game. Best new character I voted for the guy from Lost Odyssey, Jansen I think. I voted for Valkyria Chronicles for best artistic graphics. Best 360 game was Left 4 Dead. I voted for Street Fighter 2 HD for the best fighting. The M&M game for the worst game. If Metal Gear Solid 4 for best story.
- Mar 9, 2009 5:24 pm GMT
I voted on all of them of course. Here's a few I vaguely remember:
Game of the Year: MGS4 (with most other nominations it got like best graphics technical)
Best graphics, artistic: Valkyria Chronicles
Best DLC: Burnout Paradise
Best download game: Braid
Most despicable use of in-game ads: Shaun White Snowboarding
Worst game: M&M Kart RacingFor some stuff I voted multiple times, because, like you said, there was a problem with voting and instead of showing the percentage of each game, the buttons reverted back to "vote" after a while.
Edit: Oh, and Thursday is the 12th, not the 15th.
Edit 2: Never mind, someone was quicker

- Mar 9, 2009 5:27 pm GMTI voted for all of them, but I definitely voted for GOTY, DLC, downloadable, the genre and system-specific ones, etc.
I never experienced any errors when voting, so I'm kinda confused why it didn't register for me
