... my visits here are less frequent due to the "atmosphere" lately. Some changes are needed. I hope with the new "database" system there will be new faces. I'm not saying that current staff is poor ... it's just that there's not enough of them around.
There are only a handful of staff (actually less) that are always around. These are the people that BUILD vb.org. They should be surrounded with people with the same dedication.
Not long ago, one of the best vb.org staff members was promoted to vBulletin Staff. He deserves that title. He's helped many just by being here; just by "moderating"; just by being positive; and he loves to show his work. It's a shame we see less of him here; but, life goes on.
Perhaps a staff reshuffle is needed.
- some people should be downgraded (perhaps a "Visiting Mod" title)
- while others should be dropped (Why keep them if they are no longer active or "moderating"? Life goes on ... things change ... pass the baton to someone else.)
With that said, it's staff responsibility to watch what they and others say. It's their job to promote a POSITIVE atmosphere.
SUGGESTIONS:
- Ignore it if you do not have nothing positive to say; someone will come along and post the appropriate answer
- Merge the thread with another
- Add a link to other threads so that people could see that it has been discussed previously.
THINGS TO REMEMBER:
- There will always be duplicates.
- There will always be people that ignore the SEARCH feature.
- Text is not a good way to communicate -- no emotions. eg. A message that was meant to be just a "I was only pointing out the facts" could be construed in a "negative" way. Which it was; and will each time someone reads it.
i've said for a while that i don't feel the non-active mods should be kept on, it's harsh but their passion for the site is evidently not that of what it should be. saying that on the occasions that they are active as seldom as it maybe, you're left thinking how cool it would be if they were like that all the time.
