I think this sounds like an excellent idea. It would be interesting to see what effect, if any, it has on their posts or general attitude to have someone being non-intrusively supportive of them. Unfortunately I worry anybody being nice to someone outside of this forum is immediately a cause for suspicion or the assumption of sarcasm, but I think the support could be crafted in such a way as to not to trip any red flags. Like, instead of being like 'Whoa! guys! this poster is totally our latest GBS superstar!!!', just like emptyquoting them or taking time out of your schedule to lol at their jokes.

i like the idea of some random poster all of a sudden having multiple byob people empty quoting their posts across multiple forums with :glomp: added at the end

well, ideally they wouldn't notice it specifically as group action. worst case would be finding this thread, then thinking the praise is completely insincere and just a dumb project, even though we should all pick someone we honestly sincerely believe deserves some support.
