The observent among you (and there are many) will notice a few BZ members now have "Support Team" as their group name. Their names will also show up in green on the active list of members.
What is this Support Team? And well you might ask. Even with 24 moderators, the volume of posts to read and review is enormous. We have found that many regular BZ members have been extremely helpful in answering questions from new members, notifying mods when a topic needs attention, and generally being helpful and good citizens of the board. So we decided to create the BZ Support Team. These new team members have already shown themselves to be good BZ citizens, and helpful with new and seasoned BZ members. We are starting with a small number of people to begin with, to see how it works out. Here is what these Team members are responsible for:
One last word about the Support Team: these members were chosen by the admins, not as a reward for past behavior but because of their ongoing commitment to quality on BZ. We do not anticipate adding more team members right away, so please don't PM asking if you can become one. The same rules apply as when we select who to ask to become a moderator. - Binkmeister BZ Assistant Admin -------------------- |

That is cool. So they are just regular members but the only difference is that they have support team in their name?

They are what you've said, but also helpers. They do the tasks of informing new members and just help infroming regular moderators for helping in either moving and the closing of topics, and telling moderator's who is disobeying the rules.

This is cool. It's nice that the people who are really helping out the mods and other members get a special group.

I'm really excited about this too. I'm kinda wondering what our initials are going to be, STers? lol. Don't worry I'm not quitting my day-job... Thanks for all your support people...
And I just have to say, Happy Star Wars Day! -------------------- "I bow to no one and I give service only for cause."

Happy Star Wars day to you, too, and I wish you STers (You've started a trend, Jaster Mareel) good luck! You guys never know, you might be switching that Huna for a Hau someday...

That is a really good Idea, but will they be assigned certain Threads like the B/T/S or BBC?

Not at this time. Maybe in the future, but for now they just go where they usually go. They have not been told they have to watch the entire site, or one forum. We seem to have all areas pretty much covered, so thats a good thing for us.

Is that why some members have changing Hau-s next to their names, becuase they are MODs or on the ST?
Can other people be on the ST also? Congrats to all of the STs!! May  bless you.Whatever happened to him anyway? -------------------- 1st BZer to have (11) vahi AND the KAL!!!

The color changing Huna's are what people in the Support Team have. The color changing Hau's are for the Moderators. -------------------- "I bow to no one and I give service only for cause."

I'm really glad about this new ajustment. I'm happy for all of those who are currently Supporters, and I hope this will make BZ a better place for us all. Additionally, I believe this will make other members, who wish to be on this team, be more kind and helpful and help out in the big scheme of things. It worked that way for me, I hope to be proudly wearing a huna someday...

No, just look at I. M. Wright.
Just as there are some moderators who aren't premier members, there will be Support Team members who aren't premier members; being a mod/ST member and premier status aren't related, nor does membership in the latter bear on ones appointment/non-appointment to the former. -KIE (who started typing this before KK replied, thankyouverymuch) -------------------- "...when all is said and all has come undone
