Just an idea…

Would it be a bad idea to assign trusteds to different sections of the forum?

It could possibly help with the load?

I like to read everything that interests me and moderate in the process, so no.

I guess the question becomes what are you trying to highlight. Just a length of time being here? A flag to show level of participation in the forum?

I’ve always just seen the “Trusted hacker” title as a nomenclature for moderator.

Well, I actually hate to agree with the guy, but “trusted” does not mean “moderator”.

I may be wrong, but it seems like he’s been active for the past 3 months only, and most of the posts were about LT1

There is literally nobody else to nominate lol

Unless you want to make me a trusted hacker :upside_down_face:

That’s what I said before. And you are disqualified by default.

I know, I was agreeing with your previous statement.

Agreed…activity and involvement levels would be something like novice, rookie, veteran, elite.

This is different than moderation rights. I would say users with high activity and involvement levels do make good nominees for trusted hackers.

Yes and no.

No because I think that incentivizing post count isn’t an effective way to judge who is knowledgeable and who isn’t.

Yes because I think there are a bunch of inactive mods who are knowledgeable but just inactive af. Similarly to be honest we don’t need more mods, more trusted hackrs isn’t a bad thing, I think there are a bunch of people who are “veteran hackrs” who give good advice but aren’t necessarily active or want to take on moderator responsibilities.

So essentially an advisor with no moderation rights. Maybe a call it a “vetted hacker”?

Again hate to agree with this guy but he just hit the nail on the head.

There’s only really a finite amount of mods that are needed anyway, I would say somewhere from 5-10… maybe as load expands 10-15.

I don’t see the point in having mods + trusted hackrs. There should just be one group, and they should be moderators

I hated to agree with you first, so you lose.
Besides, you did not really hate to agree with me in your earlier post.

33

Fair point, you stand here… and I’ll stand here

We can still agree on this subject though :skull:

3/4 of the current trusteds don’t moderate

Isn’t that why we’re having a new nomination process from scratch?
