Hey guys,
I want to finally announce some of the staffing changes that have taken place. Team leaders and admins have been discussing the logistics of various aspects of how our staff team runs for a few weeks now. (You may have noticed the changes in the community team? Yea, those have been tweaked again)
Anyways, here's what we are introducing!
From personal opinion to an idea to reality, we've combined the Editorial team and the Review team. We feel that both teams have similar job duties that having multiple team leaders running two separate teams is a bit redundant. In an attempt to maintain the quality we have always strived for, the Editorial Team will now encompass both the Review and Blog components of Forum Promotion.
This is a pretty big change so leadership in the editorial team has been tweaked a bit.
Now, each person on the Editorial team has the capability to participate in either aspect of the team. Concentrations, however, are put in place based on interests to ensure everything runs smoothly.
The community team has been restructured in an attempt to make the role as worthwhile as possible. Community Team will now be focused on.... the community! From personal experience, it seems the team has become solely about moderating which isn't a good thing. We want the community team to be able to moderate when necessary but we also want the team to focus on the community, posting around, getting to know individuals, having fun little forum events, etc. We've got a lot of ideas on how to increase community engagement so stay tuned on that front.
The actual mechanical changes are as follows:
The team will be more self managed from this point forward. Each Community Team Member will act as a leader, a knowledgeable individual that anyone can approach, a figure that will be there for you, and ultimately, a figure who is willing to help work through issues without resorting to moderation right off. As such, the community team's new team leader is.... administration! Administration are getting more involved every day so both teams will work closely with each other to ensure community outreach.
Permission Changes - each team member will now be a part of a 3 step ranking structure:
Senior Ambassador and Ambassadors each hold the same level as team leaders in terms of moderation.
Ambassador in the making has a few limited permissions while they are being trained by existing Ambassadors. I don't want to go super in details on the differences so that's the general idea.
Lastly, we are improving our staff environment every day and working on lots of new perks for volunteering your time to FP. If you see a hiring thread open up, now's the time to get involved!
