Sure, if I say "nsx is a super-cool guy and welcoming and would make a great ambassador."

But if I say "nsx has a nasty online persona and would make a horrible ambassador" then I could easily be accused of a personal attack that would per the TOS lead to disciplinary action.

So what is the use of a thread analyzing potential ambassadors where we can only say positive things about someone?

Further, I recently learned that although it is not explicitly spelled out in the TOS, 'baiting or tricking someone' into violating the TOS can lead to a suspension (for clarification, refer to the moderator disciplinary database and search for 'kokonutz' ). Such a thread would clearly fall into that category.
