I realise I've brought this up years in the past and been told that it's not this websites style but I somewhat believe recent events make it pertinent.
boo boo
thing is
boo boo
when I asked to be mod I only wanted to mod the prog section
boo boo
which I think I did a good job of overseeing
boo boo
but the whole forum was another story, I tried, but I can't control my temper like a mod should
So I'll say it again: localised mods?
Pros:
Less burn outs.
Reduced responsibility for new mods.
Closer community relations between the staff and people who post only on specific boards.
Something to fall back on if the workload of Global gets too much whilst still being able to contribute to the forum.
"Vetting" to see who would or wouldn't make a suitable Global instead of dumping them in the deep end.
Training to prepare people for becoming a Global so that they're used to responsibility before being dumped in the deep end.
Cons:
???
Anyway my piece is said
As some of you may remember I'm a global on another website elsewhere (not a music one) so I'd like to think I speak from experience. Nowadays I'm not as adamant as I used to be on the matter because I recognise that MusicBanter has it's own unique hierarchy and structure, but it's still something I think it would be worth at least discussing and ruminating upon in your HQ.
