Not against modding someone else, mind you
But we also don't want people to get the impression we mod people if they refer enough people here, they won't see it as a circumstantial thing
It's either that, or we need to define what OLF mod bare requirements are
Advisor for now imo
And if he's fully dedicated to growing the section aswell as the forum, we can discuss official modship
I trust your knowledge and experience on that section Sam.
I like Ultra too, though, did he recently become active due to the new swarm of activity we just got recently? I can't keep up with everyone here lol. Make sure he's interested as well before we give him the promotion.
I wanna hear what
@Sigismund has to say but if its all green, then I'll PM Ultra and then confirm back to Ral to promote him.
Here is what was discussed thus far.
I'm not fearful of any one individual, but we did the representative thing immediately and it backfired, since it was a build on an ultimatum that failed for both parties for different reasons.
And now you guys feel like you've been burned because there was an implication from whoever that this was a transactional thing and that's precisely what I did fear: feeling betrayed instead of mislead with a set of expectations.
I'm fine with giving Poyser perms for this section to do what he needs to do and to assist Ultra. I'm down with it, Ultra is down with it.
The internal stuff will be dealt with as the section hopefully progresses and the culture flourishes if we wind up getting others from foreign communities. But we don't tend to helicopter for sections that tend to want to take accountability for themselves - the OBD functions similarly, without even having a represenatitive be a true necessity.
What I want to be understood is that you be respectful of Ral and OLF'S conditions. If there's any internal strife among you, I need you guys to know to not escalate it.
The same goes for mods, if some of you have a rather poor history, then a mod or representative (as an epithet) should not engage either. I hope this isn't the case right now, but if it comes down to that, it might be.
So:
Give Poyser the section perms.
Let him and Ultra and I work together.
Start on the opening posts for some of these ideas, and let Ral or me know if there's anything that could be used as a way to help assist you busy bees. (Thread calendar add on? More HTML options to do spreadsheets? Etc)
