Gift Giver CA/Badge?
Started By
Okay so there's this user named Tobby (#915). Really sweet and affable individual.
I may still be a newbie but I know that they really want to give Ala something back and make people happy. I mean, even on their profile, they have something like this:
"So, on 5-23-11 I decided since I was horrible at breeding training, trailing, ect. that my calling on Ala was to make people happy!"
They've helped a lot of people get some really cool wishes so I was thinking that maybe we could make them some awesome like, gift giver badge or icon or something.
I know that there could be some controversy over that, like favoritism and getting rare items from WL and stuff, so if that wouldn't work, why not a CA representing Tobby and working similar to the Griffin although it would only apply to certain items on the wishlist and maybe refresh like every two-three weeks?
BTW, if you've been gifted by the amazing individual that Tobby is, at least say thanks. Watching Tobby flail in chat is priceless.
EDIT!: Okay it was brought up to my concern by a staff that the badge would not be an okay thing...and hope the CA would be a more acceptable idea?

I'm sorry, Namine. xD I'm not supporting this either, for the reasons of Snow and Fyrella.<br /> <br />

Support, also, Tobby could be a RE, granting you an item on your wishlist.

I must agree with Fyre, no support. ^^;<br /> Tobby is doing a wonderful thing, but, as Fyre said, lots of people on Alacrity give away items, and they do it randomly. If people were doing it just to get a badge, it wouldn't be from the heart, like it is now.

No support. =) It's not that I don't think gifting things is a beautiful and generous gesture, but plenty of people do it with no recognition.<br /> <br /> If everyone who gave stuff away on a regular basis (myself included) were to get a badge and super duper recognition for it, it wouldn't be as humble a thing to do.<br /> <br /> Besides, gifting things is a choice, not a necessity. Staff members are here based on necessity.

That might be nice... I was thinking a "Happy Person" badge, so like it is a staff position that is awarded to people who are always happy and upbeat, and being nice to people and such. =)
