hehe... you would be surprised at the people who 'have arrived' and don't notice for awhile. Some even need convincing


I probably wouldnt have...I hope you didn't take my silence about it in a bad way, I guess I felt others work harder and deserve the title more than I do.

Yes I noticed Madam Goodmorphing....I also know you were the one that suggested it to Jafo.
But but...I did pay for sqiggle status so I remain Fairyy~


Congrats Fairy. I wonder if anybody suggested me.......

It hasn't been that long since I was promoted to Apprentice. I was just in my account area to change my e-mail address and noticed the change. If it wasn't for that I would have had no idea.

Na...  I just hoped that your silence didn't mean that you didn't know. 

It is a good thing, I think, that a community can see the progress it's members are making.  I really enjoy seeing people rise through the ranks and I know it is a bright spot for a lot of people when they see their cohorts get ahead.  It adds to the sense of community, I think, when people have milestones and some history that is shared.  People grow through the community at all sorts of paces (some even grow backwards at times) so it really isn't a comparative thing.  Enjoy what you accomplish and know that as other people make it they will be free to enjoy the same thing.

I think  you just kind of sprouted one day, ID, and took off growing.  I think I noticed you first back when you did something kind of altruistic for the community.  After that your comments kept sprouting  up here and there showing the same kind of good sense.  Someone else beat me to the recommendation though.

I think one of the cleverest things that Frogboy instituted/instigated within the creature that is Wincustomize is this 'recognition-feedback' thing that manifests itself as 'promotion'.

More often than not it seems to be something that GoodMorphing is 'tuned into' though she seems to be paranoid about it all to the point of pushing it in my general direction for 'second opinion', or something....but whichever way it's always a 'plus' to be in a position of altering a person's access level in a positive way.  It's such an antithesis to the 'dark side' of dealing with the comparatively [rare] situation of the pathological septicaemic thorn requesting/requiring extraction for the 'greater good'.

So much of an Administrator's role is enduring the RSI of ego-placation that providing positive acknowlegement of community contribution is a real highlight....and even better than drugs...

Jafo wonders if this'll read any clearer tomorrow....probably not....

antithesis
means 'opposite'

septicaemic
means 'invasion of the bloodstream by virulent microorganisms'

So - Sounds very serious !

I have made a few glaring mistakes and I always feel bad when one goes bad.  Anyway, it 'feels' right to send it on to you.  Kind of hard to explain why... it has to do with community glue.  And balance.
