Description Simple as this. Just members who can take questions, help point new embers into the right direction. Basically everything a mod has to do, without the powers. This way, the mods and especially admins aren't waking up and logging on to see 300 comments piled up ^_^
Where this works We have this implemented onto our site and it is currently working great! I can actually kick back and enjoy the site for what it is.
Good idea but I say nay , my reason being , well the mods are doing things fine , if say things get out of hand and mods can't handle all of this then yes assistants will be useful but else , nope
As the "Assistants" will be "Taking over" the moderators "Jobs" (Hehe loads of quotation marks ^_^), wouldn't they become "Mods" without the Moderators knowing they're "Mods"?
This is completely useless. You can complain that they don't change anything but you need to think up good ideas instead of taking ideas that were utterly rejected and change one little thing in them, then saying it's a new idea and that everything is rejected. Be original and maybe you will see something happen.
