Unfortunately, I'm just not feeling that. |

If you have Global Moderators and Administrators that are not willing to |
| 10 |
become staff, then why are you asking for this? You do realize that |
| 11 |
this means that there will be much more control placed on what goes on |
| 12 |
in the forums. Currently, the forums are treated almost as an |
| 13 |
independent entity, much like the GWN. If you decide you want to become |
| 14 |
official members of the Gentoo project, then you get what comes with it, |
| 15 |
both good and bad. |

A new internal policy that their peers decided to envoke. We didn't |
| 23 |
come up with this idea, the forum moderators did. |

Remember that before you go pointing fingers at anyone. |

However, you have brought up a GLEP that some of us feel *would* make it |
| 32 |
necessary for them to become staff. |

I agree that forum-specific moderators should not be required to take |
| 42 |
the quiz. I also believe that any *global* forum staff *should* be |
| 43 |
required to, native-English speaker or not. |
