Staff Appreciation Board
Hello,

I can't help but notice that the forums have a specific board to complain about staff, but lack any place to talk about us normal users appreciating staff. Often times, the work of staff who go out of their way to solve scam reports, answer reports/reported posts, etc. may not be visible to the general public.

I think that shows a lack of transparency and a bias to think when staff is involved, it's a bad thing. Like if the only time you see an smod is when they've "wrongfully" infracted you, you may see them as ill-fitted figures. I'm sure many users want to publicize the nice interactions they have with staff as a pat on the back. This would help the users realize "Oh hey, so and so does a lot more good than bad", rather than the staff simply having to say "Trust us, we know he does good work!" Plus this has the added bonuses of a) the staff members feeling more acknowledged for their work, encouraging them to do more and b) helping upper staff decide who may be right for the next promotion. If admins/smods could see more positive reviews of their staff on personal level, they might consider that in further applications for staff advancement.

Overall, I think it'd just create a healthy environment for the regular users to brag about staff now and again when they do a good job.

Thanks for reading.
