What we do is we post in the CONTEST forum a thread, let's say Member of the Month (MOTM) OCT.
Then on that first post we state the rules and other things for the contest. So first question, is it possible to disable first post from being nominated while all the other posts of that thread can be. This is so people don't nominate the post that isn't suppose to.
So then we have members reply to the MOTM thread with their USERNAME as the TITLE of their post, so the polls show their name when they are nominated.
Ok, everything works great.

Now, I want to create another contest thread Signature of the Week (SOTW) OCT W1. The problem is that the cycle time is set to Month.. I'm not sure how to make it work so that it shows up as Week. So second question, is it possible to pick day, week, or month depending on the thread? Or is it possible to have one forum use Week and another forum uses Month? If this not possible then I guess I can remove the Contest: [title] Of The [cycle] [month], [year] above the usernames and manually change the Title of the poll thread. And I will also have to change the Nomination Threads Standard Message text when the thread poll is made.
So last question, is it possible to have options like "add nominations forum" where we add a forum that we choose the forum and decide how the nominations work for that forum like "cycle" , "nomination threads standard message" , "nomination contest title" and a lot of the already included options but set for the forum we set it to.

Gosh, talking about 20 questions.... J.K. Anyways, see the "cycle time" and "contest title" settings - they determine the thread title and PM title/ message. You can specify multiple forums to enable nominations, but they should be for the same subject (ie: posts, members, etc.) and they all share the same settings. You can not disable the first post only, but you can do the opposite - "enable the first post only".

Thanks for reading.. this sounds like another mod that you can make.

It's definitely requires another mod, but unlikely it would be made since it requires a lot of coding/ time.
