User blog comment:SilverPlays97/The Emerald Awards: July (Results)/@comment-1986314-20130801145705

If I may speak my mind here:

Didn't this "users of the month awards" situation appear many months ago? Originally, a majority of us detested the idea of voting users as "best" in what they do. I'm beginning to see a similar pattern forming in these "Emerald Awards".

As a community, we're not meant to be competitive in what we do. We get along and do the best job we can as editors and socialists. It's certainly fine to have high respects for different users, but specifically pitting people against each other in a series of user votes seems non-community like.

That's just my input.
