Congratulations New Staff Members!

[Guest190829]

I would first like to take the opportunity on behalf of the entire staff to thank all those who applied for staff positions. We had a total of one hundred applications, and the Administrators have selected those who best fit the requirements of a vBulletin.org staff member.

Before I announce our choices, vBulletin.org is implementing a new staff hierarchy:

Administrators
Senior Moderators
Moderators
Advisors

The biggest amendment to our hierarchy is the addition of the Advisors group. This group is a means to allow members of vBulletin.org who display a strong sense of community spirit, participation, and skill to be publicly rewarded with an Advisor title for their efforts and, more importantly, to be on continual evaluation for promotion to the Moderator group. We hope to continually add members who display a friendly, courteous, and skillful attitude throughout the community to this group.

I believe the other groups of self-explanatory, so let's move on to announcing the new staff. It is my great pleasure to congratulate the following members in their promotions at vBulletin.org:

Moderators:

Kirk Y (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/member.php?username=Kirk%20Y)
Dismounted (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/member.php?username=Dismounted)
Roms (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/member.php?username=Roms)

Advisors:

King Kovifor (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/member.php?username=King%20Kovifor)
Atakan KOC (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/member.php?username=Atakan%20KOC)
Redlinemotorsports (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/member.php?username=Redlinemotorsports)
Nutz (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/member.php?username=Nutz)

Congratulations!

[LouiseDM]

aww lord 'runns away' well done :)

have fun with your new title :)

[SCRIPT3R]

wow... keeping my mouth shut on this one.

[Paul M]

For those wondering, we had about 100 applications, so please don't be too disappointed if you were one of them who didn't get chosen. Also, as Danny says, we will be adding to the advisors group over the coming months. :)

[G0F0RBR0KE]

Congratulation to everyone that has made it to the staff.

Commiserations to those that did not get a position this time round!!

[deezelpope]

Congratulations, Guys!:)

[Sofia]

Congrats :p

[nexialys]

i think it is scam,
that moderator application is scam,
this announcement is scam,
that list of Advisors is scam,
vB.org is scam too,
because i'm not in the list...

oh, did i say scam ?!... damn, i suppose it is because i posted in a thread with the word scam just before reading here... tsss...

please, Advisor, can you replace the word "scam" with "Great" ??!!

good for everybody... now these advisors will have me in the aim...

[cheat-master30]

<div align="left">Congratulations to all those who became mods, because I'm pretty sure they deserved the positions, being active members here and all. And congratulations to vBulletin.org for actually being a large forum which has hired staff from active members rather than those who you barely see post at all and return twice a month (that's a compliment by the way).
</div>

[Atakan KOC]

Thanks everyone.

[Lizard King]

Congralations to all

[King Kovifor]

I still can't believe I made it. :D

[nexialys]

I still can't believe I made it. :D

don'T say that too much, your rank is not permanent.. lol

[Shazz]

Err, You guys are starting to be pretty mean to other people :erm:

[utw-Mephisto]

Congrats to everyone who made it to the team .. but I agree, some choices are ..... unexpected .

[Shelley_c]

Probably one of the smartest moves vb.org have made.

[Shazz]

Probably one of the smartest moves vb.org have made.

I can never tell if your being sarcastic :o

[nexialys]

I can never tell if your being sarcastic :o

i think that's part of the "unexpected".. lol

[Smiry Kin's]

I take it you've tested each and every one of these..

[nexialys]

I take it you've tested each and every one of these..

i don't think they have a benchmark for Advisors...lol

[Paul M]

Tested ?

[Shelley_c]

I can never tell if your being sarcastic :o

No Shazz, I wasn't being sarcastic. Keeping on topic congratulations to the new team.

[iogames]

Congrats to the new members of the staff... some of them have it well deserved ;)

[SCRIPT3R]

And congratulations to vBulletin.org for actually being a large forum which has hired staff from active members rather than those who you barely see post at all and return twice a month (that's a compliment by the way).
unless i'm mistaken, i don't believe any staff position is a "hired" (paid for) position?

[UltimateOreo!]

Weird, I got a PM saying I got in on the "Advisor" position, but It isn't aknowledged anywhere. Ah, crap! I was skipped!

[Shazz]

Weird, I got a PM saying I got in on the "Advisor" position, but It isn't aknowledged anywhere. Ah, crap! I was skipped!

Possibly a runner up

[Snake]

Thanks to all! I'm sure you definitely deserve the position. =]

[UltimateOreo!]

Haha, I figured it out. I never actually accepted the postion. A qoute from the PM-

Oh, lmao, I can't believe I didn't read the entire thing. Of course I accept, thats why I applied! I really appreciate it! BTW, Sorry for my recent inactivity, Reformatting is tough when you didn't know that your disk drive was broken

I couldn't accept it because I couldn't even get on vbulletin.org!

Just a quick question, do we get to do the "V" for our avatar?

[King Kovifor]

don'T say that too much, your rank is not permanent.. lol

May not be permanent but still. :D

[Zachariah]

Welcome to the party. :D

B.Y.O.B. ?? :)

[King Kovifor]

Quick Question:

acidburn0520 - I can't find his profile anywhere... Did he get a name change?

NVM... Figured out that he is Kirk Y. Might want to change that on the first post.

[UltimateOreo!]

Welcome to the party. :D

B.Y.O.B. ?? :)


Never! You share! I'm a bud guy, hope you are too, for my sake :D.

[Zachariah]

Just a quick question, do we get to do the "V" for our avatar?

Make a "Double Stuffed Oreo" :p
add a big red cape and a lightning bolt and a "V" on it
add some sun glasses

:D

* Zachariah goes back to the code cave

[UltimateOreo!]

Well, I hate to fill up threads with useless content, but Zachariah, I present to you, my Avatar!

[cyberphr]

Quick Question:

acidburn0520 - I can't find his profile anywhere... Did he get a name change?

NVM... Figured out that he is Kirk Y. Might want to change that on the first post.

Hmm, do I get to have a name change? I haven't used this username in months. James C. or something would be good. :p

[PixelFx]

congrats guys :D

[UltimateOreo!]

Well, that's interesting. Just taking a peek around, and saw that all of the new staff has at least a 4 or higher release level. Congrats to Atakan KOC for having the highest release level, with 8.

[Distance]

I am sure the release level has little to do with there decision, you don't need to be a master coder to enforce rules and be a value to the community ;)

[Paul M]

I can safely say that release level was never even thought about, let alone checked.

[UltimateOreo!]

Exactly, which is why I pointed it out. It wouldn't be as "intriguing" if it was taken into much consideration.

[EnIgMa1234]

Congrats to everyone

[Mazinger]

Congrats to all!

btw, acidburn0520 (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/member.php?username=acidburn0520)???

[Shazz]

Congrats to all!

btw, acidburn0520 (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/member.php?username=acidburn0520)???

Hes known as Kirk Y now :)

[Kirk Y]

I changed my Username, thus making the link no longer work. ;)

[Guest190829]

I edited the original post...that's what I get for being lazy and not using userids in the parameter. :)

[nexialys]

acid is now a placeholder for the spam bot.. lol

[Guest190829]

Please stay on topic with the thread. Any matters involving specific members or sites should be done privately with staff via PM. Thanks :)

[iogames]

I changed my Username, thus making the link no longer work. ;)

Congratulations, I was confused too, I thought you changed your mind...

[sinisterpain]

Congrates to all selected and good luck :)

[EnIgMa1234]

[Oblivion Knight]

The old hierarchy of customer staff, coding staff and design staff didn't last long, did it? ;)

[mac27]

Yes congrats to all.

[Paul M]

The old hierarchy of customer staff, coding staff and design staff didn't last long, did it? ;)I'm not sure how that's relevant, but they went six months ago. :)

unless i'm mistaken, i don't believe any staff position is a "hired" (paid for) position?That's correct. No one at vb.org is paid.

[G0F0RBR0KE]

Wow some of the advisors had very temporary jobs


It's not temporary jobs. Something else probably happen which won't be discuss.

Anyways, congrat to those who made it to the vB.org staff.

And good luck to the future staffs :)

[Adrian Schneider]

I thought Marco was a paid Jelsoft employee...

[Paul M]

Marco is paid for the support work he does for Jelsoft, not his involvement here.

[Mazinger]

Marco is paid for the support work he does for Jelsoft, not his involvement here.
Sorry, but what do modeators gain from being volunteers here?

[nexialys]

Sorry, but what do modeators gain from being volunteers here?

like on most forums where people are volunteered... nothing but self satisfaction of helping others...

if you go and be moderator in a forum in the goal of gaining something, you're at the wrong stage of the volunteering

[cheat-master30]

Sorry, but what do modeators gain from being volunteers here?

Powers to do stuff like lock topics, delete others posts and edit the posts of others... and to first hand stop flame wars and spam topics maybe? Either way, I guess being a mod here is probably like being a mod on any other forum; voluntary and for the satisfaction of helping others.

[aeturner89]

Sorry, but what do modeators gain from being volunteers here?
The point of volunteering isn't for personal gain or benefit; it's to help out.

[Paul M]

Sorry, but what do modeators gain from being volunteers here?Headaches mainly :erm:

[Shazz]

The point of volunteering isn't for personal gain or benefit; it's to help out.

Authority, Its like volunteering to be a staff member on any other site

[Justine]

I would venture to say that the staffers here gets a lot of exposure - thus, earn more money (from the community) than they would have if just another member.

eg. more exposure, trust factor increases, etc

[PoetJA-1975]

hmmmm - interesting thread to say the least.
Just a quick CONGRATS to those picked Moderator & Advisor...

Jacquii.

[BuRaCh]
