From: Mentor Survey
Please enter the name of a Mentor you feel is the example of an outstanding volunteer in the last 3 months.

Hyperbole title, but when did mentoring become a popularity contest?

From the past meetings I remember, every time a Linden brought up the notion of "rewarding"/"highlighting" a specific helper/mentor/volunteer it was met with an (almost) unanimous "bad idea" from the assembled group.

Personally, I did very much enjoy the volunteer day they planned when the 4 volunteer sims opened, and the entire "day" of scheduled activities and if they want to give volunteers a moral boost that should be the way to go, not by picking one or a few names out of thousands by popular vote.

Agreed.No doubt some will be insulted thatthey were not nominated or recognized for their commitment. This course of action may have the opposite effect than what is desired.
