I am concerned about the availability of people once they become so-called "staff".
Although I GUESS that some members MAY BE available a good portion of the time, many folks who become staff change their attitude towards fellow members, as the power that courses through them creates rifts and urges them (and the people they hurt) to burn bridges. Isn't a staff position a responsibility? Why do people seem less active in the community when they become staff? Why so many staffmembers become lurkers, ignoring their once called friends, not bringing themselves to letting others know when they've read their messages, even?
1) I propose that DiscoGC Staff members create a (loose) schedule (as a minimum, a relaxed one, not an enforced schedule). People don't bug co-workers with work stuff on their off-hours out of respect. Nobody knows when to bug you or not if you do not let them know your availability.
2) I feel that an activity requirement may be necessary, otherwise, individuals may vainly hold on to a position for the sake of having it.
PS: If you can't provide the public service that you signed up for, please step aside and allow others to do the needful. Become a part of the solution, or avoid becoming a part of the problem. If you can't do either of those, you are harming a community that is struggling to survive.
Who agrees? What do you think? Who accepts the challenge? Who doesn't really care? (Questions to reflect on)
Sincerely,
Sky
