One of the principle standards of the TFP is to discourage popularity contests. That's why the categories here do not define opinions, only actions.

Actions and opinions are not mutually exclusive. The categories listed above must defined by the collective opinion of the moderators. (Unless there some objective criteria that will will be used to assign membership to a particular category). Anyone's opinion (moderator or not) of who should win an award must be based on a subjective assessment of the actions of that individual. For most of the categories, people already have their own ideas about who is a good moderator, mentor, etc. Why should someone care about the moderators' assessment of exemplary behavior? Is a badge from the moderators necessary? What are the costs and benefits of adding badges? Will the effect of badges be similar to when post count was reported on everyone's post? Will awards increase good posts? Or will they undermine intrinsic motivation to post well? Again, I don't care one way or another and it's obviously been decided already.

I imagine that judging will be carried out as impartially as possible.
TFP has cliques? I must me missing some extra "Tilted Too Cool" board or something. Is that a subdivision of Tilted Sports? I stay clear of that neighborhood...

You cynics are funny. "*I'm* not going to jump through hoops just for an award!" "I can see all the mods' friends winning all the awards." "Is this even necessary?"
Come on, people. When I propose something, I'm thinking about the upside. What the hell else would I be thinking about? "I need to find a way to praise everyone I like!" Right. Right. You don't have to bust your ass to earn it, but if you do, the WHOLE COMMUNITY will recognize you, not just the mods. This is encouragement to raise the level of quality here. Can you doubt that?

I'm not worried about "friends" being rewarded. I do think that there are many good posters on this board. It's clear that these badges represent an effort to raise the level of quality. I enjoy thinking about how to change people's behavior (increasing post quality, for example). I'm skeptical that giving badges will increase the quality of posts. However, I do appreciate the intent and effort.

again, I really don't care who gets these merit badges or not. it doesn't effect their contribution to this site. Sure, it's nice to be recognized, and i'm NOT trying to be negative about this, I just am contributing to the conversation the overall message of "kudos for trying to implement something for part of your market to aspire to, but I'm not in this target demographic" thats all.

I guess, being behind the curtain and overseeing all discussions about the site, I am a little defensive when people even consider bias. We have an eclectic mix of personalities. The intent to stick to the rulebook and to remain as impartial as possible is a part of everything the mods do. The winners of these awards will be decided in complete fairness.
