[Announcement] Some Staff & Forum Changes...

**Stu @ M Developments** · 22-01-2010, 01:26 PM

Hello Everyone,
As Passionford continues to grow to in excess of 4.5 million pages served per month I have decided to promote one or maybe two of the moderators to assistant administrator to ensure that the web team and members all have an administrators decision available more regularly and reliably than has been the case of late.

This means that the webteam now have an alternative to myself when it comes to making the final decision about bans, moderation decisions and forum upgrades etc. These admins will also have the ability to do most of the normal admin abilities such as changing user groups and user profiles, registered e-mail addresses etc, so any name or password changes etc can be done by these new admins.

The new admin will also be introduced to IB web team and have the ability to enter the fault report system server and log and chase fault and upgrade fault reports for the forum, thus expediating any work that needs doing on the forum.

Finally, I want to make some serious efforts to improve this place a little more and need someone to be able to bounce ideas off that is able to stand back and look at it almost as an outsider and be up front enough to say "Stu, thats rubbish and unfair mate, you cant do that" or occasionally "What a top idea, lets do it" and they will also be able to suggest ideas to me and IB directly and have them acted upon if suitable.

A few mods made it clear they don't have the time or inclination to take on this role due to the extra time it will take up and also of course the extra personal flak the role will come with and that is fully understood and their honesty applauded.

This has been a very hard decision for me as the web team is excellent and I really appreciate all the work that every one of them does, so I have had to make the decision of whom to choose based on my experience of their level headedness in past moderation tasks and overall behavior and interaction with the community during their membership not to mention my ability to interact with them on a personal level as there will be a lot of forum related matters to discuss in the future. With this in mind, I have come to a final decision on the first (And still perhaps only) Assistant Administrator for this forum, and that member is AJ.

His name will now show in red and you can direct pretty much any admin related question to him and he can deal with it without having to run it by me if he needs / wishes to. I hope you will all support him in his role as you have done me so well for all these years.

Moving Forward, the webteam will now discuss various ways to improve the forum, talk about new advertising options that are being introduced and try hard to make this the best Ford forum in Europe and not just the biggest and busiest. We can all do it together and we will change what needs to be changed over the coming weeks. Thanks for your time and support. With your help we can make this place even more amazing than it already is.

kosman · 22-01-2010, 03:10 PM

sounds like a good idea like,hope it all works out

-beefy- · 22-01-2010, 03:15 PM

if aj is now assitant admin ,

does that mean he has the power to resend a conformation email to my friends account so he can use pf
,

markyd3 left a notification in the admin room over a week ago and im still waiting for someone to get round to it, or even back to me ,

think there should be a few more if we have to wait for just one person to deal with these things,

beef

p.s aj , if you do have the power , please could you pm me and i will explain the situation ,

many thanks

**Pf Admin** · 22-01-2010, 04:08 PM

Beef - pm sent.

If it'd have been you, it should have been made to stand out in Silver.

Agreed.

Who the hell is/was Neo?!?! Does anyone actually know him or remember him?

Greg Shepherd was just the original Benni.

Diva doesn't post much these days

Eagle only rolls in when there's a Signature Violation.

Ah well.

It depends who is doing the violating

I understand the "mods should be seen and not heard" but Simon is pointing out that perhaps the mods should be more active members of the board...like y'all used to be!

So post up or hand back your badge officer.
