Are all the Simple Thanks recipients idenfied somewhere? Is there one place where there is a list? It might be nice to read who has won and when the award was given.
Maybe I missed it, but it would be nice to see some sort of citation with the award, to give some idea of why the award was given. Yes, I know it's at the discretion of Viewpoints but it would be nice to see something like:
Donna recently posted three excellent reviews of books about breast cancer and its survivors. For this, Viewpoints offers our Simple Thanks award.
or...
Paul was responsible for getting five new members to sign up this month, and they have collectively written 16 new reviews. For this (etc).
The citation doesn't have to be elaborate... a single sentence will do. It will give us some sort of idea what kind of behavior gets rewarded with a Simple Thanks award. And it will bring an effective member to the community's attention in a way that lets us know just how the person was effective.
Just some thoughts.
