[Ambassadors] Active/Inactive Ambassadors

[Francesco Ugolini]

Yes, I've talked about Honored Ambassadors, but it's different from
Active/Inactive ambassadors status. This will be a new solution to
attract more people and to improve our productivity.

I think it will be the only prize an ambassador would he receive, in my
opinion.
