The 'new" Hierarchical Structure at EF

[Raptorex]

crack that whip that u brandish so sexily in ur avi!

I am glad you two "old" friends are back to loving

seriously, lets make this a discussion without any "affect" and see if we can help as members.

I like you both very much.

The mentors are about as useful as a chocolate teapot.

but a Mentor by definiton is suppose to help members? that is why I am confused.

It kind of seems to be a way to recognize members that contribute to the site but wouldn't want to be a mod. I don't know.

ah.
mentors help both members and mods. They report bad posts, or source requests, or problems in general to us.
They also help members who may not know the rules.
really, there's not a whole lot of use for mentors in chat, other than to just help keep some peace or be around if a problem happens- but they are a big help in the AS forum, where new posters come in every day and say stupid stuff and ask where to get things.

an ombudsman will be much more used in chat than in AS.

wtf is this nonsense. Rnch should be mod, he's a good bro. Don't ban me now please

tks for YOUR support, pd...but be carefull whom u take up for here!

 

[stilleto]

btw, being a mentor is also sometimes a little training session. If we see a mentor that stands out as being a big help, we'll most likely make them a moderator.
and it goes the other way too - we've made people mentors, then i see them starting trouble and I think, "oh, nevermind then!"

You guys don't see all the hard work mentors put in - they are constantly helping us clean up spam, reporting shady posts (like sourcing - maybe not so much in chat) and bringing up issues that go behind the scenes.

They really help keep the forums I moderate clean...esp when I'm not around. I respect them as much as any other member, only difference is they volunteer to help without any compensation (just like every mod).

Every member is welcome to share ideas. As "structured" as EF seems to be, we are VERY open to ideas on how to continuously improve the site...but if you come with a negative attitude it's going to make it that much more difficult. I want you guys to know that I welcome any insight and will do my best to make sure your voice is heard on the mod board. Just PM me anytime...and I'm sure 'letto feels the same way. She's been putting in a lot of effort to make sure chat stays enjoyable.
