As many of you should know now, the ombudsman really are the voice of the people now. There word matters and to be honest with all the members. We have changed the way leadership works with the members here on chat. So much so that now in most cases members will not even recieve a infraction from a mod unless a ombudsman has also looked over the incident with the mod and agreed with the way things are going to be handled.
This is how much we are trying to work with the members now and make sure that everything is kept honest and far to everyone at all times. We want the membership to know that we care about them and that no mod is going to be able to go on a power trip on any member, but that things are done respectfully for all parties. Everything is fair for all members and mods at all times.
I love elite and I know many of us love elite. I love all the members here and all of you have been like family to me over the years. The last thing I want is to treat any of you unfair or see one of you mistreated. I want this site to be fun for everyone and at the same time respectful to everyone who wants to be treated with a level of respect.
I would like for all of us to work together to make this site ( the chat forums) a place where any and everyone can have fun and feel welcome. A place that is entertaining for all. I do not want chat to be "dumb down" or like a damn sympathy center for the thin skin weak minded. people need to know that chat is going to be brass and push the limits but I would like for the forums to never be a place where some one is personally attacked. Or even feel like they have been.
I know I write to much, but please read everything I am saying and get involved. Take a little bit of extra time it takes to read and get involved and help make a difference for the site that you come and enjoy every day. It is the least any of us can do!
So ombudsman are very important people on the chat forums now. They oversee all of the actions taken by mod. They get involved with disputes between members vs member and mod vs member. They are a huge part of the administrative process on the chat forums now and there sole reason for being is to be a voice of reasons and a second opinion that leans more on the side of the members.
When ever a member is given a infraction, given a time out, or even banned here on the chat forums. A ombudsman not only will be but "must be" involved in the process from start to finish.
I am throwing some names in my self.
Samoth
Mrdb
Bino

These are the names I am putting into the hat. If you do not want to be one just tell me and I will take you off the list. Now I would like the chat forum members to nominate the people they would like to see as there representative. Any member who gets a few explanations will make the list for voting.
In this thread I would like for the members to ether 1. throw a name out they would like to see be a representative or 2. Make a case for your self and explain why you would like to do the job and or think you would be good at it.
We will let this thread go on for a week or so. So that everyone can be heard. I may ask some members questions and some of the mods or other members may also ask questions of the members who wish to be a representative for the chat members on the site.. Lets all take the time to go over the subject, understand the nominees stance on things better and all that good shit...
Thank you in advance to all the members getting involved. It means a lot to the site.
