I agree with much of this, even though as Andrew says this might be more of a community-related label than a "skill grade". Nevertheless they get a more authorative role with the label. A side effect is that those who are "promoted" seems to take less part in the forums than before. Also I see a risk of them feeling they have to be "lojal" to Kris instead of being just a part of the community. I'm not accusing anyone or anything, just saying I'd rather see them as any other contributor. Interesting comments - the comment about seniors appearing less often on the forum is puzzling, and certainly isn't cause and effect. The intention is that by giving them a rank that they continue to contribute in the way that they have been - I don't really see why making someone a senior would also make them contribute less in the forum? Sadly, this hasn't worked for a couple of our Seniors, and we see them a lot less than we would like to (and a lot less than when they were selected as Seniors, since strong forum presence is one of the criteria). Secondly about support - I would suggest that you got this backwards, at least in part. Kris selects Seniors for many reasons, but a big part of it is their attitude and support for GMC, so this loyalty is self selecting. I agree though that its probably boosted by the realization of their seniorhood. The point about Seniors is that we couldn't run GMC without them. The forum and all of its activities are now so diverse that we need help to keep all these balls in the air - and most Seniors are contributing one way or another here, even if it is behind the scenes. -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile

A side effect is that those who are "promoted" seems to take less part in the forums than before. Hey, I wish you'd only take me off of your ignorelist so you could see all the posts I make Sometimes real life gets priority over GMC, whether it's work, home improvement, school, family, illness or whatever there sure can be periods when Seniors are gone for a while. I'm just afraid that someday it will happen to me too. -------------------- My bands homepage

I do think it was also stated somewhere, clearly, that it does not take a certain amount of posts or length of stay at the forum to become a senior member. A forumer "earns" it through helpful posting, keeping the forum environment friendly etc. I can't remember it completely. Absolutely! Its all about attitude, and very little about the number of posts (although you do have to be a regular poster to be noticed!) Yes, it's been a while - lets see what we can do to fix that. -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile

Just found this, browsing the forum while my wife is in at the physio getting her back fixed
I think this is a great idea, it shows the community spirit of GMC and the altruism of Kris. I would like to nominate Mertay if nominations are considered. He tirelessly helps everyone and is one knowledgeable gentleman. Thanks again for a great site folks, and that goes to staff and members alike -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.
