[APPROVED] People shouldn't be allowed to use CDT/PR as a sign of trust

Being accepted into the CDT/PR/TC groups requires you to show that you are responsible enough to represent the teams and the wider community.
I know for a fact that these teams wouldn't just accept anybody saying they wanted in. You have to meet their standards (which are pretty high).
They do suss out people wanting to join just to elevate their "trust" levels on here, and decline their application as such. Thus, being accepted into these teams does require a judgement from a team of people who have been on the site for years, including staff members.

TLDR: CDT/PR/TC groups wouldn't accept people that they think wouldn't represent them well, i.e. untrustworthy people.

 

You asked me on sythe discord so yea, you are bsing here.

No offence to the user, but if these standards are so high then why is user Harrylolxd who was in PR team with only 2-3 months old in the team?

The suggestion is that people are not allowed to put any of these team memberships in their title because it's not supposed to add to a value of trust and this is what we are discussing.

Talking about how hard it is to get into this team is not part of this discussion, it's how people shouldn't be allowed to put a name of something that has 0 trust attached to it, and make it seem like it has.

CDT and PR and TC are purely teams and have ZERO trust affiliated with them as it should so putting it in the title only gives confusion to new users.

 

@Mots thanks for bringing up several good points..

"People shouldn't be allowed to put a name of something that has 0 trust attached to it, and make it seem like it has."

I didn't join PR to put [PR] in my title. I joined to make a difference. Although not a huge difference, I still make a difference and so does every other PR member. That combined output is making a change in Sythe, and I'm happy with that.

Putting [Mod] is acceptable but [Ex-Mod] is potentially not acceptable because they're less trustworthy than when they were Mod and should have the same apply to them. If you're a Mod or Admin, you deserve you put that in your titles to imply increased trust, that's one of the advantages of being staff. But the main benefit is to make a difference to a forum you appreciate.

 

The application process is multifaceted, trustworthiness is simply one of the many criteria. It's not an application to be branded as trusted such as OMM.

You cherry picked one person out of the entire 3 teams, over a dozen people. Harry must've shown compensating promise in other aspects + its a judgement that incorporates more than just figures. You discriminated him for having what, a lower donor status and later join date than you? Since when did those amount to trustworthiness?

You put your trust into us every time we do community events that yield external benefits to you, we hold sponsor funds and are trusted not to rig competitions / abuse our rank. Very disappointing seeing how ungrateful you are to people that volunteer their time for this website.

 

Yes completely agree, specially with the recent events of EX-Mods scamming out.
I know there are plenty of current ex-mods I trust a lot more current moderators.

First of all, drop this, I said it in sythe discord because I thought it was funny you brought up the high requirements and I gave harry as an example.
And in here you actually helping out with a point:

[QOUTE]You put your trust into us every time we do community events that yield external benefits to you, we hold sponsor funds and are trusted not to rig competitions / abuse our rank. Very disappointing seeing how ungrateful you are to people that volunteer their time for this website.[/QUOTE]

First of all, i'm not ungratefull, sit the fuck down on that argument.
Secondly you pointing out that "WE" hold sponser funds, YOU ARE NOT A LEADER, you said yourself in discord: only CDT leaders/bond holder/omm/mods can hold this cash.


The point of this whole thing is CDT/PR/TC members putting in their team names in the title of threads to gain false trust. Yes this should be implemented, while at it, EX-Mod should be removed aswell that can be a side outcome.
But you are straying off the main point more and more with your little principles, if you care so much about your point here go to spam forum.

 

Why would it matter putting it in the title or in the thread, a title is not a sign of trust ?

 

Still yet to see a single response to this. A lot of you are still ASSUMING that they put it in their titles for a trust factor. Try to look at things from multiple perspectives before you pass judgement.

 

It brings to question what a user is joining the team for, the funrank itself is enough of a reward for devoting time to the team.

I think advertising your role inside your thread is fine, but I don't think the title is necessary and I would say the same for staff.

 

We should remove donor rank as part of thread titles as well if we use this logic

It can be argued that it is even easier to obtain a high donor rank and scam quit. CDT/PR at least has an application process.

No support for this thread. Albeit, I don’t see anyone abusing and or using CDT/PR in their thread titles.

 

Well if there was ever a time to eat crow i think @Bolt has proven how effective that perceived trust can be.

 

Being in PR has nothing to do with this, stop being delusional lol. He scammed his loyals not new people who would care about him being PR.

 

i know it must be very difficult for you to read, he never had [PR] or [CDT] in his titles. Don't be ignorant.

 

Was more point to the validity of the perceived trust the role gives wich in the past i had disagreed with then his titles specifically but if your saying members never traded bolt and went i'm going to use him because no way the PR lead would scam me then you are lying to yourself so why not add a layer of insulation to that trust by not allowing it in titles?

 

Any further spam on this thread will result in infractions, if you are not posting about the topic, do not post at all

 

This has been a long time thing, stating a rank in your title shouldn't be assumed as a sign of trust. If it is that is the buyers false assumption. No support.

 

can someone or anyone point me to any god damn users who put cdt or pr or tech core or java scripter in their fucking thread titles

this entire thread is useless

not a single example given by @Chloe of someone PUTTING THESE IN THEIR THREAD TITLES

 

100% agree it shouldn't be used as a sign of trust, the only time I think it should be allowed is if a PR person were advertising a social media management service. In that instance it isn't trust, it's experience.

But yeah, blatantly used as trust signalling I'm against.
