The concept isn't bad, but I feel as though citizens have a far lesser chance of being noticed for their helpfulness, even if they do know what they're doing. Staff bias definitely come into play here, because the people they've known the longest/the best can send out a few, "Anyone need help?" messages in global chat, ignore any responses, and get it. Furthermore, this would cause people to be sucking up to the staff so much, which is completely nauseating to watch.
Bribing people to do good isn't going to make them good, either. It would not surprise me if someone would act like a complete angel in global and monitored chat and get away with being completely rude anywhere else.
Many players are mature enough to behave without having to be bribed. The server is not completely overrun by chaos, but I'm not saying it's perfect either.
How would this impact staff applications? Will it become seemingly necessary for an applicant to have been Meeper of the Month to have a chance at a position? Any thoughts?
