That's one of two reasons i'm very unlikely to vote for this proposal as it is currently written.
If we're going to create a position where someone is the "welcoming face" of a forum, then that person should be familiar enough with the rules not to violate the TOS and earn a suspension. In my opinion, someone who violates the TOS blatantly and/or frequently to the point where they earn a suspension should automatically lose their ambassador position. If the suspendee has a successful appeal, the the ambassador position would be restored.
I also don't agree with excluding anyone from being an ambassador. A moderator or TalkBoard member may be a good fit for a forum that they frequent but don't moderate or otherwise volunteer in.
