See, those posts surprise me because I've always seen the opposite and I remember when I came back in 2010 and first encountered emblems, it was just fine to nudge a mod and be like, hey, this person's done this or would be a perfect match for this. Like, don't be hitting mods up for the sake of getting your friends emblems- and the mod can always evaluate if the emblem is deserved- but I've always been under the impression that suggestions were welcome. Because staff is certainly aware that not everyone is going to be noticed.
The main thing I actually was getting from Nick's post tbh was that you shouldn't be publicly nominating people. And I mean, even privately nominating should obviously be kept to a minimum because if staff get inundated with those messages that's going to be annoying. But the thing is, if it's a staff member's job to hand out emblems and keep an eye out for people deserving of emblems, then why can't the community help with that? Members help with maintaining the environment with reporting and talking to staff about certain issues, yes? Why should they not be able to assist on a more positive side of things?
