That's why I say pick five. Once those places are filled... tough titty. It gives an opportunity to give credit to those who may deserve it but may not have the requirements of a professional streamer. It's not just a numbers game.
Maybe they can consider a loyalty contest event in the future but it honestly does more harm then good imo.
5? What will MrMadnessMD say about your porposal? Doesn't he deserve a spot then too? He surely won't be among the top 5. If you make this about rewards you automatically divide the community into two parts, the ones who seem to deserve it and the ones who don't.
If they've had a livestream broadcast for over 3-5 years they've already shown that they have commitment. How many modders can say that? How many backers?
See the reply above, the numbers are smaller than you may think.
Did you actually read what I wrote?
Excellent point Guppy. I sure hope whomever Gronk has in mind applyed for the pre-experimental testing. Peronsally, I think volunteers who actually test and report bugs are more loyal then any streamer out there.
Im a bit confused. You say, its not just a numbers game and your new drawn line is the same thing (3 to 5 years streaming)... I looks like whatever i say won't change your mind so I will just leave things here. Roland said it better then I ever could have in his original post about loyalty.That's why I say pick five.

Addendum:
To be fair, I'm pretty surprised "tough titty" made it through the profanity filter.
I'm saying, a long-standing community member with a long-term but modest stream who has provided service to TFP with feedback and/or modding for the vanilla game should at least have the opportunity to be recognized for their service. As I have already said, it's arbitrary, but if you pick the top five people who fit this category for the last 3-5 years of the games development I'd be surprised if you could find enough candidates to fill all of the slots.
No, sure didn't. I'da quoted you if I was referring to something you said.
So so me, Jax, Fox, Sphereii and Roland, for various reasons.
I've deliberately avoided naming names, I've just proposed a set of rules which allow for credit where it is deserved, not earned. A subtle but significant difference.No, sure didn't. I'da quoted you if I was referring to something you said.

...I'm probably the biggest contributor TFP has in overall numbers; most posts, highest rep count, most mods, prior tester, tutorial videos, etc...
A meritocracy isn't fair, it just depends on who can fulfill the criteria to the highest amount. The criteria themselves are often arbitrary.
good work with all the new ideas and updates with this game when I was younger i used to excited at every update because I knew yous guys gonna add something new form a cool @%$*#! zombie to an awesome new weapon to use, anyway guys before I give you giant rant about much I love your game ima, good bye dudes! 
That changes it from a marketing tatctic to a reward program, Completely changing the reason for it's existence...If the rules suck then change the rules.
Just add an extra qualifying rule where a forum member or modder who has been active for more than 3-5 years gets to stream. Yes, that's a judgement call but it's also a friendly gesture to those who support you and provides support to them in return. You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours. Must everything be a one way street?
Hey! I just noticed I've got no "warning points" on my profile! Do those things dissappear over time or was it a bug from the changeover? I was quite proud of that particular moment
Yeah, I've had time with MrMadnessMD on my shows (Granted I'm no partner nor have the "numbers" but as a person whose friend gets shafted I have to say least my peace here from a third party standpoint) during the posting of this "event" and let me address a few things here.
