Seems most globals are preoccupied with school and would rather not stay if they couldn't pull their weight. I'd rather well deserved individuals get promoted over promotions just to fill out spots.
Deserving is a misleading word, but of course it is better to not just promote globals because there are slots. However, sometimes new blood is needed and someone could be promoted in the hopes that the added expectations turn the person into a great global.
More promotions will come when necessary. As of now, I think we're in a good place.
Read my response to Skele and then consider this. There is really no way to predict when need moderators will be needed, and when running on essentially the bare minimum, any disruption will not end well. Trying to find someone to fill the gap before it is needed could help greatly.
I think with FireZ as a Global, everything will be just fine.
Perhaps.
I think he could do the job himself.
No, he couldn't. He is inexperienced.
The site seems to be well managed atm, so I don't see a need for more globals.
Refer to the above and consider this. One must look at the definition of well in their own eyes. More could always be done. A situation that requires a vast deal of resources (major staff investigations) could also disrupt the management and hasty decisions could lead to discontent.
I was thinking the same thing until FireZ was promoted; that guy's a monster.
Refer above.
Unfortunately, a lot has changed since 2008.
If the admins here had as much respect for me as they claim to, it would be nice to show it by taking my concerns into consideration.
May I ask what concerns?
Indeed. As of now, I think the team, small as it may be, is handling the forum with excellence. Have you seen anything become unmanned, SuF?
What concerns?
Globals really do not "man" places. They are essentially above that for most of their duties. So, judging if there is enough man power is not something users can easily do. It just seems to me, based on history, that four would not be enough.
Spam reports are clean
Scammer reports are clean
I don't think we need any more at the moment.
There is a lot more to globals tasks that keeping reports clean.
Don't forget about disputes too.
Refer above.
Firez can handle anything, and he puts the effort in to back that up.
He is still inexperienced.
They seem to be managing fine. Also, there are a few globals temporarily away like r33l, dalpra and skele.
That is very true, but having them when they are needed is the main issue.
Only four globals?
