May Promotions
Sometimes things conspire against you....
Monday, May 11, 2009 by Jafo | Discussion: WinCustomize News
It's sometimes 'fun' to wrestle with the site whilst it's in 'flux' ...with dev work for the new site the likely culprit for "things-that-now-go-wrong" ....but it's always fun to set and list the new promotees for the month. [thanks to Island Dog for joining forces in overcoming the latest quirk].
Congratulations, one and all.

on the serious side: congratulations all, good show.
on the (not so) tongue in cheek side: Jafo, you do the golf ball through a soda straw thing real good. Listen, you got to give me something to shoot for. I'm pretty sure that after 6 years and 17 blind uploads that if I'm not promoted by now, I ain't going to be. and while I'm reluctant to mention that personalities play such an important roll in promotions, it does.
I'm not looking to be exiled here but I do have a thought. Create a demoted status of second class citizens. To be nice, we can call them "dungeon dwellers". Any change in status is almost welcome, I'd go for it.

We have over 3 million registered users on WinCustomize. We also have about 6 active moderators. Promotions are not done by computer or software, they are done by the recommendations of mods. Unfortunately, we do miss people that should be moving up in the ranks, however, it's just one of things that occurs.
We don't mind getting a PM if you feel you have been mistakenly overlooked, but don't assume that just because you mention it you will automatically be promoted.

To jump on ID's statement, if you think you are *due* a promotion it's a good indication that you are not ready.
Promotions should not be about "getting" something; they should be about *giving* something.
My favorite part of being a moderator here is getting PMs from the newly promoted saying something like "I'm not worthy of this. I'm just doing my best. I'll try to do better/more to make myself worthy."
I may be going soft, but shit like that makes me so damn proud to be part of this place.
