salman679 for posting the most popular deal in October, Catch of The Day BDAY coupon that gives $8 off on all orders. However what really makes the deal great is not the original post which only has Eneloop and Chromecast (two OzBargainer must-haves), but all the subsequent 60+ edits from 5 other users that compiled a big list of bargains from CoTD.
donga100 for posting the most popular competition in October, PayPal 1 million cent instant win. 7.4k+ clicks and 161 entered — probably the most popular competition posted on OzBargain so far and quite a few OzBargain winners.
tightarse for having most front-page deals. In fact only 3 out of his 57 deals posted in October didn't get onto front page. The vote average is +115 — that includes 10 Amazon free eBook deals (+129 average) and 14 Udemy course deals (+111 average).
rosern for being very helpful providing information to another OzBargainer on car contract related legal issues. Really appreciate the wealth of knowledge some possess and are willing to share that knowledge.
