This is hard.. Oh man.
SO many people I am thankful for, quite a few that deserve this award without 2nd thoughts.
Would name them all, but the rules state I can only nominate one person.. Mm.. Well, honestly I have to nominate..
[user]DigitalSushi[/user]
Let me tell you why...
Even though there are a lot of people I really have the urge to call out and nominate them for such generosity, kindness, and being really noble at heart- I have to nominate DigitalSushi. Because I know somewhat of his history and he fought corruption head on.
He used to Moderate other websites. Even for big companies, he would moderate with good intentions. However, there were the abusive/unfair Mods that would ban people just due to them questioning something. So despite being paid, DigitalSushi left and one day become a Mod here. He doesn't get paid, but Mods because of his free will.
The guy is truly awesome, always lending advise to others and never going out of his way punishing people. Instead, he talks to them and trying to push them in the right direction. Did you know that he even rejected the Ban Hammer Badge because he did not want to represent power? I highly respect him, thus he has guided me a lot of times when I fell down on my face (as in messed up on here.) He could of given me warnings, punished me, even scolded me.. but instead he befriended me and supported me with motivation to stay positive. I can't thank him enough, and not once has anyone I known complained about him. So nicest award without a doubt goes to him.
