Debate this: Community Rep Forum Involvement

[SenorPatty]

In line with MomomiMomi - also adding our forum is not only spiriting that freedom sense but that we also have a /massively/ more diverse culture pool meaning we will more often not see eye to eye. It would be difficult for us to conform even if we wanted to... where to start the line itself would be confusing lol.

Would be nice to see our community leaders more often though. I'm sure they have a lot of hoops to get through but if we could lower / make easier / more often that would be cool.

That's a really good point.

Now I'm torn lol.

On one side, I like that our opinions aren't swept under another's rug, agreeable ones or not.

On the other hand, it'd be nice if community reps could more involved, not just on an organizational scale but also on a interpersonal one.

(Insert something about having my cake and eating it too here)

I can't say for sure, but I think our reps are lower on the totem pole, so to speak. They have less access to the devs and therefore less ability to answer questions and engage with the community.

And we have a lot of inane threads that probably drive them nuts. They'd have to wade through a lot of garbage to find things worth responding to. And any post they make is like a shining beacon on a thread that drives activity into it and probably gives them even more work to do.

I keep thinking of those movies scenes where everyone's trapped in a dark cave/hole with hostile people then suddenly, this ray of light pops from above ground and everyone scrambles for it.
