Spoiler: 📋 What is FUOTY, and how does it work?

FUOTY (Forum User of the Year) is looksmax.org's annual championship tournament to crown the most influential, entertaining, and legendary user of the year.
Since its debut in 2022, this electrifying bracket-style spectacle has evolved into an ever-more popular, pulse-pounding arena of charisma, strategy, deception, mass propaganda, campaigning, espionage, defamations and eviscerations, cleverness, epic comebacks, upsets, tears, begging, and sheer entertainment, pitting the site's sharpest strategists, boldest personalities, and most magnetic influencers against each other in a quest for eternal forum legend status. Imagine diving into a whirlwind of meme-fueled campaigns, razor-wit banter, and high-stakes alliances that draw thousands of votes, spark viral drama, and crown one unstoppable user as the year's undisputed king.

It's not just a contest—it's a thrilling ride that ignites and destroys friendships, unleashes creativity, provides endless drama and humor, and turns ordinary threads into epic battlegrounds. Jump in, rally your crew, and carve your name into looksmax lore—who knows, 2025 could be your year to dominate and inspire the masses!

It's our fourth annual FUOTY! Anyone who participated or spectated FUOTY (especially in 2024 & 2023) knows how entertaining the drama can be.

HOW FUOTY WORKS

Your core goal: Pass qualifiers, never lose an elimination match, win first place.

FUOTY is divided into two main phases: a long qualification round to narrow the field, followed by fast-paced elimination matches.

Qualification Round
During the qualification round, people may submit up to three votes for other users. There are rules as to how you must vote, which will be discussed later.
Users may campaign, message and proselytize other users to vote for them. Votes are only to be submitted in this thread and on the form provided below. It's important to copy this link so people can come here and vote for you.

View attachment 4422629

Qualification Round Voting closes on December 21st, 2025 @ 09:00 EST (9am EST), and the top 16 users with the most verified votes advance to the elimination matches.

In the event where user #16 and #17 have the same amount of votes, the user with the most reputation points will advance.

Elimination Matches
The top 16 most voted users will be declared, put into brackets at random, and the matches and their dates will be announced on December 22, 2025 @ 09:00 EST (9am EST) in a thread. Elimination matches start on December 23, 2025 @ 09:00 EST (9am EST)

View attachment 4422636

During an elimination round, users have exactly 24 hours to vote. After 24 hours, the poll closes forever. Participants and their allies must focus on accruing as many votes as possible and dominate the other user (getting more votes) to proceed to the next round. Draws are broken via whoever has the most reputation points. Voters can change their vote during the 24-hour time period, and votes are visible to everyone. This process repeats until the finals are completed. There are rules for voting here too, and they will be posted in the thread for every match.

Spoiler: 🔬 The Automated Voting System

FUOTY 2025 is the FIRST FUOTY that utilizes a fully automated voting system built from scratch to ensure fairness and transparency, replacing the time-consuming, error-prone manual counting of past years.

Key Features:

• Auto-validation: Prevents self-voting & duplicate votes.
• Live Leaderboard: Updates every 60 minutes automatically.
• Deadline Enforcement: Rejects late submissions instantly.

The new system is:

• Automated
• Accurate
• Fully transparent
• Fraud-proof

---

Spoiler: 🗳️ How to Submit Your Official Nomination Vote

Some things you should know before voting.

• You must use a valid email address to cast a vote (for verification, to prevent impersonation and unfair tactics).
• If you do not want to use your personal email account, create a temporary email address to vote below (it self-destructs after a certain amount of time)
  
  • https://temp-mail.org/en/
  • https://temporarymail.com/en/
  • https://www.guerrillamail.com

Mandatory Verification Step (CRITICAL!): After you've submitted your vote, your vote will be PENDING until you complete this step.

1. After submitting the form, you will receive a unique 6-character verification code via the email address you provided.
2. You MUST post it in this thread in the exact format below (see image below)
3. The automated system updates the leaderboard every 60 minutes, so the leaderboard won't refresh until that has passed, or unless I verify it manually.

Spoiler: 🗳️ How to Submit Your Official Nomination Vote

Some things you should know before voting.

• You must use a valid email address to cast a vote (for verification, to prevent impersonation and unfair tactics).
• If you do not want to use your personal email account, create a temporary email address to vote below (it self-destructs after a certain amount of time)
  
  • https://temp-mail.org/en/
  • https://temporarymail.com/en/
  • https://www.guerrillamail.com

Mandatory Verification Step (CRITICAL!): After you've submitted your vote, your vote will be PENDING until you complete this step.

1. After submitting the form, you will receive a unique 6-character verification code via the email address you provided.
2. You MUST post it in this thread in the exact format below (see image below)
3. The automated system updates the leaderboard every 60 minutes, so the leaderboard won't refresh until that has passed, or unless I verify it manually.
