I'm flattered you'd think that, but I'm just a relatively new member here.
There are a lot of other members who would be more suitable for that award than me
I'm glad that I'm being accepted in this SE subforum though.
I fixed the link. That was embarrassing
Anyway, you may be correct, but the award is not fixed to one person. Multiple people can have the same award. You could be one of the people who receives it.

I'd honestly be so honored to receive the award. Maybe I'll get it one day. Just maybe.

Most of these leeches don’t actually follow through on the job for the exact reason you just laid out – they lack technique and forethought. All they can think about is that shiny object at the end of the tunnel.
And yet, the minute they get stonewalled by one rep asking for PoP or a return they’ll hang up the phone or exit out of the chat.
Never mind trying to explain to them that proper SE’ing stretches way beyond the bounds of these churn and burn refunds. They can’t conceptiualize it.
I totally agree with you. If any skilled social engineer went through my tutorials here on sinister.li, he/she would notice that they're all extremely similar. I hope that beginner social engineers here on sinister.li will be able to see the relationship. Matter of fact, one of the most important parts of SE'ing - in my opinion- is the execution. You have to give an excuse to SE them.
Just my two cents

If you continue to show a genuine passion and interest in social engineering throughout the year, and keep it up with the great tutorials (thank you again, by the way), you will receive the award, because if you didn't receive the award at that stage, then obviously awards are totally ignored by the administrators/owner of the board.

That is a valid point. I am most likely going to continue sharing these methods with the community, but I wish that one day, it won't just be the name-known members sharing their methods: in other words, I'd love to see other members sharing and experimenting.
RE: Coming to the Realization - Slippery Slope - 07-16-2018
I’ve thought about this subject a lot. I’d like to kickstart a group on Social Engineering - and I’ve brought it up before. However, I’m on the fence on the idea of creating such and it becoming full of consumers and not producers.
I do agree though. If there was a pinned post with the contents being along the lines of what you mentioned before about - ‘keeping an open mind’ and ‘Experimenting and contributing.’ Hopefully it would decongest the 15,000+ topics of SE. I’m not saying that beginners shouldn’t ask questions, but thinking outside the box has been very beneficial to me personally - Plus, creating your own methods usually ensures that they don’t get saturated quickly.

You want other members sharing and experimenting as well. That is an absolutely wonderful viewpoint.

If you are worried about consumers, then you can only invite specific people to your group; people who are producers.
