I've reviewed the post and done some minor adjustements to the rules. Most notably, no more implication that the highlights have different colors. Everyone will recieve the fuchsia color, so we avoid confusion.

The most important part of this idea is that the community is the driving factor, more so than with other wiki matters. Unlike staff nominations, Admins cannot directly deny a nomination for a highlight. (A 'cooldown' of sorts will be in place in the event that a vote does not pass, to avoid flooding the forum with multiple polls for the same users.) The way I see it, there's no way for the Admins to pick favorites if they have no direct power over who can and can't be nominated.

Of course, this is all based on the community taking this seriously, which I'm certain our regulars will do, at the very least. I can also understand if instantly giving Tufo the highlight gave the wrong impression. If needed, a poll may retroactively be opened to vote on her as well.

Furthermore, I feel like someone who takes offense to not recieving a highlight would also take offense to not being promoted to staff, and we would obviously not disable staff just because a user didn't become part of it. Maybe it's a bit harsh, but that's simply how I feel about this. Besides, a vote failing shouldn't be something that deters you. There will always be more chances in the future. Additionally, LaVey has proven to us that you can change the community's opinion of you, with enough effort.

Finally, opinions on how to improve the wiki are always welcome, and this case is definitely not an exception. If people are dissatisfied with a part, or the entirety, of this system, then it suggestions on how to fix it should obviously be brought up.
