Nope. It's still something we would love to discourage, because if there's a consensus that someone deserves a shot at ToTM, someone will end up nominating them. But overall, our main focus is to award the person who actually deserve it, based not off who nominates them but off of their merit.

The system is still undergoing changes, causing the whole event to be slightly delayed, so not much is set in stone yet, but I think I speak not only for the staff but for most of the people on this wiki that it would be great if people would at least try not to self nominate or act unethical (annoying people for the sake of being noticed/voted for, guilt tripping other people) and just focus on actually achieving the edits they need.
