MTG Content Creator Awards and Ethics

I would like to first sincerely apologize for advertising a nominee who was fired by Star City Games for allegedly sexually harassing women.  My ignorance on the subject was quickly identified, but it was too late to take back any of the additional pain that I caused or could have caused by  irresponsibly throwing out  that name.  To the alleged victims of those acts, please accept my humble apology.

This is the second year of this award program, and while I wish that I did not have to learn lessons this way, this event did bring to light a missing piece of this program.  My enthusiasm for getting content creators' names into the public cannot be overshadowed by my responsibility to vet every nominee prior to releasing those names.  Researching individuals by myself for violations of the Wizards of the Coast Code of Conduct is difficult.  And vetting these individuals publicly is not an option due to the possible damage to the integrity of the awards program and the pain that could be inflicted on members of our community as evident in the results of today's blunder. 

Therefore, I am building an Ethics Committee to assist me in screening nominees in order to verify their compliance with the code of conduct.  An unedited list of nominees will be made available to the committee prior to any further release of names.  Comments will be collected from the committee and any allegations will be investigated for validity.  If the awards are going to be viewed as a community building effort, then due diligence is required to protect both the program and the members of that community.

Once again, I apologize for today's colossal mistake. I want to make these awards a way for us to come together.  They should be seen as a celebration of MTG content creators.  And I hope that everyone will work to keep the program headed in that direction.

Thank you to everyone who spoke out and made me aware of my mistake.  Please continue to be vigilant as we move forward, and I promise that I will do the same.
