Interesting. I like the idea of people answering questions but there are also editors who like to keep to themselves or find it uncomfortable to talk about themselves. I think we all know people in our lives who work hard but keep quiet about it... they obviously deserve recognition too.

As an example, there is a user here who has added many strategies to pages which benefit the community yet they have kept to themselves. Personally, I wouldn't want to exclude those types of editors.

Guess we could do a mixture. If you vote someone, it's up to them if they'd like to talk about themselves. The person nominating should give a few words as to why though. If you self-nominate, you must talk about yourself.

Where's the best place to hold nominations though? Self nominations are easy to take care of, but if we do have where users can vote others, will they want to do it in a certain place for anonymity? (In case someone feels hurt for whatever reason that a certain person didn't nominate them. I don't know if anyone here actually cares but some may be sensitive.)

Also, where would voting be done once the nominations are in? If we do it here for example, do we accept that a person could easily rig the votes? Is it the community voting? Is it the staff having a group talk to decide who will be the Townie of the Month?
