[STOPPED] Community Advisers

I'm happy to introduce the following to LowEndTalk: Community Advisers.
Community Advisers are several selected members from the community that get a say in the direction of LowEndTalk and its Rules and Guidelines. There will be 3 community advisers per term and a term lasts three months. No consecutive terms, though with a term in between an advisor can return. Advisers cannot be staff, but may be promoted to staff. For now, members are selected by staff to be representative enough of the community; feedback will be taken into account for future selections. Community Advisers will have access to a special forum where to discuss the topics at hand.
_The above may change after an evaluation of how things go!_
The first thing we are going to work on are improving the Rules and Guidelines as well as setting a standard for consistent moderation. I've selected the following members to be Community Advisers right now as they have been of great help in the past: @Lee, @Nekki, and @AnthonySmith. These are former staff members and have a good view on how LowEndTalk works and where challenges lie. We will work with them for the initial term, ending December 31st (three months plus that bit of September). By that time, we will have selected new Community Advisers for the next term.
As progress is made, more announcements will be made when appropriate.
Update: @Jar has been added to the initial group. While the limit will remain 3 for now for future groups, the initial group may be larger.

Just a note that since this is the start of this I may add people when deemed necessary to iron all of this out.

God help us all.
Taking a hiatus.

Here lies Nekki. He loved massive amounts of storage, K-Pop and calling people cunts.
First decision has been made already!
@mpkossen has been fired, the three of us are splitting his pay and GVH credits.
I shall be purchasing a Twix with my cut.

There is a two fingered joke in there but I guess we need to behave now, well you do.
Just wait for the Buffalo Tea Party!

Indeed, all joking aside I am in awe at @jbiloh saying he will pay to bring us over to Buffalo to talk LET strategy. Top man!
Behaving's not in my contract.....

It's not part of your personality either, but we still expect it from you!

Good picks, they all come across as well-informed members.

This makes me think of war strategy...
This is all about the battle to destroy WHT.

I'll need at least a ton of popcorn to swallow this one down... Nekki possibly a staff member again - oh, it hurts.
Anyways, congratulations, and best of luck to you three.

@AnthonySmith - why are they all really thin?
You try floating all day, does wonders for your core.

Just in case it was missed:
Just in case anyone wants to take back any previous statements like this:
MagicSpam blackmails providers into buying their software, and ServerHub is a professional spam organization.
@jar - Just as the announcement was made LET starting getting a DDoS issue. Just saying, not suggesting it's connected, but yeah, just saying.
Congrats to the new Advisers, may you do your jobs well
Free Uptime Monitoring - minimize your downtime by being the first to know about it.
Free Blacklist Monitoring - don't let a few bad clients ruin your network.
@Jar surely deserves it. Congratulations! :-)

Interesting move. Going to wait and see how this pans out.

No, FWIW I would include you in that group. You respect the community and have a knowledge of your field.
I see you're quite deep in the subject of mail deliverability and I've been tempted to message you a few times.
Even if this place is just primarily for pushing the envelope for Colocrossing hosting, it seems to have always been more than that. We're all after cheap hosting whether it be for 'good or bad' but have an interest in a lot of common things.
The kind of drama you get here with bottom end hosts shouldn't pre-empt the nice amount of experience that's evidently here.

Y'all in good hands now.
Happy to be alive and kicking!
Congratz @DeanKamitsis, enjoy and good luck!
I rarely post for the reason I am about to mention but I am always reading and have been a member of LEB since 2010. Constructive criticism is that community advisors should show a level of respect and decency overall. Sometimes I am appalled at the behaviour and comments I see on the forum and it sometimes even comes from the community advisors. I am not saying they should not speak but rather watch HOW they speak remembering that every other member also has an opinion and it isnt a one way street. This is not a personal attack at the current community advisors but more a thought for consideration. In the end, there is a fine line between censorship, control and just doing good works out of the goodness of a person's heart.
With that being said, it is nice that a few get to communicate with upper management toresolve issues on behalf of the members. Good luck and God speed to those appointed.

If you PM @mpkossen and talk about it, I'm sure he will give you a proper answer.

See?

When will you community slackers be contributing something useful instead of memes and banter? ;-)
Just kidding. Wondering what's going on behind the scenes of this crazy alien operation.

They're trying to integrate some of their agents among us so they can know our secret VPS providers.
But I ain't falling for that.
