Please humor me and show me where that prohibition is in the
TOS. Responding to a member's explicit request for comments on his own suitability should be OK, IMHO.
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.
