I just saw Goober give General Battuta a gold star for his fine work in helping the new Steam people get off the launching pad to join the rest of us here:

Now if the Admins want to keep the handing out of gold stars just between themselves, I totally understand. It was the nature in which Battuta got his that gave me the idea, we could have a thread, perhaps a stickied thread, somewhat similar to the News Ticker Thread, in which people nominate other people for gold stars, and the Admins decide whether or not to hand one out. I'm sure plenty of good work goes unnoticed.
In addition, it would be great I think, whether this idea is taken up or not, for there to be a list of the people with gold stars and what they did to get them.
