Annoucement: New Mod's

[Marilyn. 340]

well, the organizers have been around for about a year, Ewok sent a PM to all the people he considered to become an organizer... we had the choice to turn down this job if we wanted to.... just recently the titles were added...

I think Ewok just picked people he thought would do a good job.....

a year? really? Why does it feel like all this just started recently?

I beleive ya, Marilyn, just feels like all this stuff became visible recently, maybe that's the key.

yeah the organizers have been around for about a year... then some new organizers were added a few months ago and the title was made visible and a new category of people called scouts was added too and now Ewok added some new moderators...

Thank you for explaining that, Marilyn, I do appreciate it.

Basically the current Scout Members had shown themselves to be a dependable and level headed group . It was an easy decision!

I'm looking for an explanation of how people were even chosen to be scouts, etc. Was it a volunteer thing or you chose them?

I ask this because all of a sudden people had these nice new titles.

I guess you can look at it both ways. They are both volunteers and people that I thought would do a great job in helping the site with regards to moderation .

Great choices!!! Thumbs up for all three!

[JODO 2]

Congrats you three!

Your answer kinda bugged me, just so you know.

Well, I was just trying to inject some humour into the whole thing. Obviously failed miserably!

I had the same questions too Cassie, when ppl had the titles organizer and scout in their member titles suddenly it seemed. I thought, what did I miss?

[Sheriff Uling 3]

From what I understand the pay is good too...

Captain Ewok,

Great choices. Can't talk for two of the new mods, but Yodrak has always been a reliable source of information . So kudos on the selection.

Quick question: are the mods then the ones to go to when a thread is getting out of control? i.e. blatant expressions of bigotry? Just a question directed at the admin team so don't anyone take it personal.

Yes you can report the thread or even PM one of them if they are online. Doing both may be useful.

LisaD,

I think that the 'organizer' title is also quite appropriate for the function. 'scout' baffles me, however.

Yodrak

.....

Anyways, I think putting the 'moderator' title on is wayyy better than this 'scout/organizer' title. It's calling it what it is, and I think it's a step in the right direction.

.....

I'll admit Scout always had me thinking of someone dressed in a little uniform selling cookies. Ah, whatever floats yer boat!

Dib, Dib, Dib and congratulations too

Glad to see this plan in action. Good thoughts to all three of you and happy moderating!
