Those taking part in the discussion are encouraged to play through and review in-depth the mod which is the current focus.

The DWmegawad Club is an impromptu discussion group formed on the Doomworld Forums which chooses one notable modification per month.

Modifications considered are subjected to a year-long nomination process through the forums, the thread for which is usually started immediately after the new year passes. Exceptionally bad, funny, or unique mods are sometimes given special irregular awards, and runners up are also mentioned.

The Cacowards are an annual event featured at Doomworld, targeting the anniversary of Doom's release, which aims to single out the best modifications released in the year prior and give them an award.

Top 25 Missed Cacowards was another feature published at Doom's 25th anniversary, spotlighting mods that, in hindsight, should have received an award the year they were published, but did not.Top 100 Most Memorable Maps was an article suite published in 2018 at Doom's 25th anniversary, listing maps considered to be the most memorable individual levels released so far.Top 10 Infamous WADs was another list by Linguica and Cyb created in 2003 of WADs which are notable, not necessarily for being good in some cases, but for having a lasting and far-reaching reputation or legendary status.Though primarily based on the opinions of authors Andrew Stine (Linguica) and Mike Watson (Cyb), the list is well-respected. Top 100 WADs of All Time was an ambitious project undertaken in 2003 to put together a list of the authors' opinions of the 100 best modifications up to that time since the beginning of editing in 1994.The Doomworld website has played host to several one-time events, usually as a part of its celebrations of Doom's release anniversary:
