- Support - you think this proposal should be added with zero or minor changes
- Do not oppose - you think it's boring/meh/not for you, but it wouldn't harm to have it created
- Oppose - you have a specific reason as to why this ribbon should not exist (state this reasoning in your comment)
- Needs work - you think the achievement should be created after more significant changes have been made

Good Samaritan Ribbon
(While in the proposal stage, Not to be confused with the rejected Samaritan achievement) This ribbon would be awarded to the Geohasher that stops on an expedition to help someone in need. Another option for a name could be Random Act of Kindness achievement but that is pretty long.
This could be claimed whether or not the hash is reached; In other words the helping does not need to occur at the hash.
Some good examples of stopping to help:
- give someone directions (who asks)
- help an elderly person cross the street
- change a flat/offer tools for use (bike or car)
- allow someone to use your phone to make a call
- give someone first-aid
- single-handedly round up the lion that escaped from the zoo
- save the world from your father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate
Note that if your offer to help is rejected, much like the No Tresspassing, do not force the issue. Wish them luck and move on. In your best John Cleese voice: Trying to assist while yelling "But I'm Helping" while they threaten you to go away is, in fact, not helping.
Proof
A picture with the person you helped would be good. If they don't want to be in a picture, than a photo of what you helped with or a detailed description would work as well.
An IMPORTANT NOTE that discretion and common sense should be followed if coming to the aid of a serious accident.
Ribbon
Not sure how to create a ribbon but good image candidates might be:
- Image from xkcd #1394 with different words
- Third panel from xkcd #663
