I think this is a nice initiative.
I would say something though about one of the rules you have...
As you know this is a global community...
Not everyone has english as a first language or is strong with english/grammar/online or similar skillsets.
There is a lot of good honest people here and they should not be penalized for those points. I am sure you know that but I value the global reach or others who may not be strong in english skills etc for whatever reason.
That's all. I am off to bed, it is a nice idea you have here!
I totally agree with you about this being a global community and recognize that not everyone has English as a first language. However, my own limitation is that I only speak and write confidently in English and so am not going to enjoy trying to read posts that are either in other languages or in broken English. I hope that other whales in training who have strong command of other languages will run similar initiatives so as to reach out more to those small minnows posting in their native languages or struggling with English.
Yes, I hope so too and many of the whales here are in the Korean and Chinese communities and I like to see all the communities taking part.
I hope some of the whales in those communities run similar initiatives. If you know them, feel free to share this article with them. If not, no worries. I think it will eventually catch on.
