Yeah, of course we will always have the snarky members among us.

We can just shrug our shoulders and accept it.

Or, and I prefer this approach, we can recognize those among us who make an everyday effort to be helpful and friendly to their fellow members and give them the title of Ambassador in recognition.

Ambassadors would not be titled royalty here on FT. Different than almost any FT title, this one would be earned.

TalkBoard Members are elected to their title.

Evangelists and Legends post their way to a title.

Ambassadors earn their title based on their exemplary FT history.

I'd like to think that this Ambassador program could help change the culture around here, if only in a small way, by showing that we encourage and are willing to recognize friendly, helpful behavior.
