Awards
 

Hi!

I have a question, actually 2.

First: What the *beeep* is a good samaritan? Never heard that word before, so what does it mean? :-P:-P

And then also, how come you can request some awards, but not the other? Does that depend on the user? Or is it like.. you admins "activate" the request:ing for certain award(s) ??

Thanks in advance!

A compassionate person who unselfishly helps others, as in In this neighborhood you can't count on a good Samaritan if you get in trouble. This expression alludes to Jesus's parable about a Samaritan who rescues and cares for a stranger who had been robbed and badly hurt and had been ignored by a priest and a Levite (Luke 10:30-35). The Samaritans were considered a heretical group by other Jews, so by using a Samaritan for the parable, Jesus chose a person whom his listeners would find least likely to be worthy of concern. [c. 1600]



Figuratively, “Good Samaritans” are persons who go out of their way to perform acts of kindness to others, especially strangers.

Ahh, I see. Thanks!

Then only my second question left ^^

The items that have Request Award beside them are the ones we feel users should be allowed to say: "Hey! I have done X and Y, I think I deserve this."

Ah, I see! And the other awards? Do you hand them out to whomever you think deserve them?

Yes, we do. Entirely up to the discretion of the administrators. If we observe something good, we'll hand out an award :-) !

So thats how an award goes :) At first im confuse why i can request some of it. THough thanks for the explanation :)
