More Technically Adequate Mods Options

[*tripvertigo*]

Ok so I just read a few posts in mod perf concerning mods not being able to answer questions about the tracker.

I understand that Jusun is the one that made the thing, and only he would know how to answer certain questions because no one else on staff is... educated enough about the subject...


but dont you guys think that come time the next hiring round, you could try and find people that have a better working knowledge of the IT aspect of the site, as well as how to use the forum application expertly? (proactively, because i understand that your perfect mod squad may or may not apply for modship)

i mean even if they dont have a lot of posts, maybe you can give the person a "special" status for only IT related issues?

Josh - what Steven said.

Seriously, though. If, perhaps, the staff was willing (which they're not) to do a Q&A with you to test your knowledge, then I think that should be enough.

You shouldn't have to be on People Staff to have to contribute. Wtf does People Staff have to do with the Tracker anyways? I'd love to learn how to work the tracker and be able to answer all the questions, but I can't.

You can do it without having a title, if you wish, but I'm assuming you don't wanna spend the time answering and figuring out every little question.

The staff can't do a Q&A about my knowledge. They don't have any knowledge on the subject. You can't test someone with questions if you don't know the answers to the questions. For all they know I could make everything up, and they would believe me because I'm the expert on the subject. As long as it was slightly above their head and made a little bit of sense, they would believe it because they don't know any better. Truthfully, the only person who can Q&A me is Ju-Sun.
