QUOTE(mzkandi @ Oct 12 2005, 5:44 PM) ^ Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. The most obivious issue for discussion would be hiring. So why not make a seperate thread so we can all start brain storming ideas. We can also make seperate threads for other things we would like to discuss.  alright, so kiera makes a good point as quoted above. hiring is what everyone disagrees on. lets discuss what we think here. |

I think the point Nicki's trying to make is that..it's not really our job to go find those topics. It was the person's job as a topic poster to make sure there wasn't already a duplicate topic in the first place. If they want to keep posting on the subject, they can go look for themselves, seeing as it's their job in the first place.
Sure, it'd be nice if we all did that, but some of us don't have the time and are simply trying to get our job done. There's a lot for a mod to do in even a day. Being a Myspace mod, I have to check the skin database (and if there's acceptances, I have to upload the images, check the code to make sure it's not jocked, resize screenshots if they're not the right size, etc., which can all be quite enough for one day depending on the number of acceptances), check if there is any scripts submitted to accept/reject, go through Myspace Help and see if there are any topics I can answer, close, move, etc., check through Myspace Showcase and do the same....and that's only the Myspace forums. I also have the Webmaster's Corner that I moderate. Plus, I'd also like some time to use Createblog for what I really love about it - the whole community. Not only the community forums, but just to interact. Then I have to check Backstage as well. That's just one day. Some of us simply don't have time to search for every duplicate topic there ever was, especially if it isn't our job to do so in the first place. A common misconception is that we're here to serve the members, which is not true. We are here for help and guidance in establishing a welcoming, fun community and nothing more. That is Sammi's rant for today. |
