Re: New Mentors and Team Leaders

I assume a Mentor is what is known as a Moderator elsewhere. What is a Team Leader?

Re: New Mentors and Team Leaders

I think mentors are supposed to moderate by example rather than by moderation whereas team leaders are just moderators with a bigger ego

Re: New Mentors and Team Leaders

Congratulations to all the new team leaders and mentors. If DB were a democracy and the nominations were subjected to vote I would have voted for all of them, but I would also had proposed as a mentor and voted for perhaps the most amiable, popular and cooperative member of this forum (right there with Island Sands and Sarge), our common friend, whose user name is (more or less) sinonymous with macaroni, noodles and tortellini.

Team Leaders moderate by their silence. They use mind control, subversive, but it does go unnoticed!

Subversive eh? We do our best, but what people do tend to forget sometimes that we are also human and make mistakes, say the wrong thing.....

Congratulations Jon, BennyB, Pastor, Sanso, and Adrian!

I second that, Josedesucre. Thanks to all the unofficial team leaders and mentors, too, in addition to all the officials! Cheers to all.

Re: New Mentors and Team Leaders

Team Leaders are simply Mentors who have more across the board permissions and more experience from being Mentors over a longer time period. Any doubts as to what to do in a particular case are reffered to the Team Leaders. The setup is great though, and opinions balance out quite nicely, hopefully leading to a moderated moderation.
