New Staff Structure and Admins

[Fay V]

I'm not sure what this is meant to accomplish. I understand new blood to deal with problems, but setting up departments (As if we understand what that means) making people Heads and such without really doing any work on this site before. What is this supposed to tell the current staff? Work hard as a volunteer and learn about the culture of the site you're moderating and you too can have someone brand new with little knowledge of the site as your superior.
Yep why give new admins a chance to work with staff and learn about the site when they can jump in and do what they want?

This for example. Even the replies are condescending, as is the About paragraph's reply to the concerns. And the name even, seems to want to show outright intimidation from the get-go.

Excuse me, but what replies? I see three comments on the site, none of which are "condescending". Can you show me where the comments were made?

Thanks.

Uhm, wahwah boohoo?

All I'm really seeing is the kind of stuff normal people put in that section + what almost all admins put on their pages + site policy (for your convenience).

What's really the problem? The fact that he's not trying to be all cute and cuddly?

I agree, I find his page quite professional. At least he's being honest. As far as his username goes, I don't like it, but I'm more concerned about an admin's actions rather than their usernames.

[Un_Chakal]

I am blunt- and bluntly I say that person sounds like a douche. There are better ways to say "I AM AN ADMIN I DO MY JOB" rather than the garble mess in their profile.

He/she along with another Nazi-themed name are the photo admins. Brill.

I like them already. If you think their profile is bad, you haven't seen the profile that says "TROLL ME AND YOU WILL BE BANNED. "
Are you really gonna moan about their username? christ.

haha sorry that reminds me of the origins of http://www.shitmykidsruined.com

This is now my fave website

To be fair, it's been a number of months since that whole "idle admins" fiasco. I'm noticing other staff were dropped from the admin rank as well (Glaide, Ariel), so I think it's reasonable to think Silver is doing his job (not to mention Arshes' has always been more involved with the forum from what I can tell, and as such removing her mainsite admin isn't really a huge deal).

[Jesie]

She's still active on the main site non the less, and dose not deserve to just be dropped like a sack of potatoes.

From what I recall, Arshe did her job too. Much better than Silver to point a fact.

Since I'm being mentioned here, I'll reply.

First off, thanks for the support.

There was a bit of a mixup and Gavin and I are working things out. It's correct that I am the head administrator here.
I wanted to say this so people don't go all crazy and thinking the worst.

That's not entirely accurate at all. All the same, Arshes has been re-instated as an admin main site (not her main account). The issue came down when we reviewed Trouble Tickets and noted that admins hadn't handled tickets in a way. Some admins were removed during that time, some unintentionally. There was some communication problems (merging two teams together is going to have some bumpy spots). We could have handled it better, yes, but once we get over the hurdle things will even out.

And as an aside, perhaps FD2 isn't the best place to get your news from.

Neer ...you posted a link showing silver on staff but arshes not. People are getting info from you.

Fay, for the record I was never listed on the staff page. I asked that I not be listed.
However yes, the link is showing a different staff structure.

[dinosaurdammit]

It also shows Nylak too.

[Fay V]

I see I apologize then.

[Arshes Nei]

Thanks, I can see the misunderstanding. It came up before that I have the status rank on main site but not listed. I have been asked if I wanted to be but refused. Mainly because the staff page became more of the "Furry Hollywood Squares" than people actually working on the site. Hopefully with the new administrators it can actually mean something again.

[Xenke]

Nylak is an admin again.

[Radiohead]

Would it be accurate to say that this thread is giving the impression that communication among staff is not going that smoothly?

[dinosaurdammit]

Nylak is an admin again.

When did this happen? I haven't seen her or heard from her nor did I know about the reinstatement.

It was fairly recent and you may have had other personal issues at the time which is probably why you missed it.

Not to mention that if she is answering trouble tickets, people who are just forum staff wouldn't possibly know (not that it's a problem).

Regardless, I would think it would be better to raise questions like these in private, so as to not seem so disorganized.

[Clayton]

This "now I'm an admin, now I'm not an admin, now I'm an admin" shit seems very unprofessional to me.

Hence my request earlier. Forum staff are something of the first line of defense, so it's nice to keep them up to date on changes. If they aren't sure they can defer to me.
