In Reply to: [gentoo-dev] GLEP 38: Status of forum moderators in the Gentoo project by Haas Wernfried
1 Hi all,
2
3 All forum moderators and admins try to make the forum clean and after
4 that they try to help the best they can, as all other users. So the
5 moderators/admins do not need to know how Gentoo itself works
6 internally, they just need to be mature and responsible.
7
8 Now I agree that regular users see moderators as higher members, and
9 that's why Gentoo Foundation should take care choosing
10 moderators/admins. That's what the quiz should be about. Gentoo
11 internal knowledge should be optional, although highly appreciated. If
12 Moderators/admins become staff, they may start to be seen as official
13 support, and I don't think that's something desirable right now, at
14 least not to increase the work of moderators/admins.
15
16 As to local moderators (i'm one of them) I believe they should take
17 whatever global moderators take, they are moderators as well, although
18 they have a lot less work. Giving all moderators a developer or staff
19 status is not needed, although admins should be Gentoo developers or
20 staff because of their higher responsibility.
21
22 Also, I truly doubt that any moderator would refuse to be considered
23 a Gentoo staff or anything gentoo related, otherwise why choose to
24 give their free time to the forums?
25
26 That's just my 2 cents as a local moderator.
