[Ambassadors] [Discussion] Reporting template for ambassadors.

[Tony Guntharp]

Correct me if I'm wrong but it seems like this very subject is brought
up at least once every calendar year. I can only speak for myself but
is someone is an ambassador regardless of how active they appear to be
to other ambassadors if they aren't asking for $$ or other stuff what
does it matter? Does it somehow diminish your role as an ambassador? I
don't think it does.

Can Karsten or Max or someone please make a goddamn decision and put
this to rest once an for all and make an entry into the wiki
somewhere?
