Splash, first off, instead of just making a complaint about how you're "never" on the Emerald Awards, ask. Don't throw a fit because you're not on the awards, because that's the exact reason why we can't have nice things. Because someone is so self-centered that all they care about is themselves and want something closed because they don't win a silly, little award once a month.

Secondly, no, I oppose the removal. Let's take a look way the awards were made: they were made to encourage users to help and be active on the wiki. Absolutely nothing is harmful about that; you just can't deal with the fact that you weren't chosen on the awards, Splash. That's all.

Let's also be reminded that we can do something similar to the Featured User poll; we can simply remove the winners of the poll the month after, and then they can return back several months later. For God's sake, removing something harmless as this is moronic.

Therefore, if it hasn't been clear enough, I oppose. I'm more neutral on the matter myself.

I'm not "WHY NOT ME!?" over the fact I rarely in these awards and I'd find myself shallow if I nominate myself. But I guess I'm rarely nominated by anyone else and feel a bit... I dunno not noticed at all.

Perhaps I am a bit selfish.
