@Sonic why did you write twice about same question, once asking to not close and once asking to close?

@ShadowWizard As you could probably tell from prior uses of cv-pls, I use that specifically to refer to close-voting as blatantly off-topic. The question isn't blatantly off-topic, so I asked others to not vote to close for that reason.

@SonictheInclusiveHedgehog invalid edit, same as "plz dont downvot dis"

I'll roll back edit saying "Don't close this question because it's on topic".
"don't close" must be followed by some clear reason.

@JourneymanGeek I'm not sure yet what I think of that. I guess I'll leave that one to the more experienced folks ;)
They seem to have a lot better grasp of what a CM can actually do for a site ;)
 
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
@Tinkeringbell tbh, you're in a fairly unique position there ;)
As an old timer, I'm saddled with a bit of nostalgia for how I thought things used to work ;)
You're familiar enough with the system to know how things work now and if you think we can do things better... might as well
I kinda want to bring up how CMs were a little more hands on and visible on the community, and a re-emphasis on community growth and evanglism would be nice
But but
Language wording is important?
 
Tinkeringbell

@JourneymanGeek I think you need an argument as to why that was better than the current situation ;)

@JNat spam network profile, as far as I can tell they never actually posted spam, but it's clear from the profiles they're just a spammer who isn't going to add anything useful. What do you think?
 
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
@rene as I understand it, they're basically trying to have a team dedicated to community growth and engagement (again)
I think the big point I need to express is really that the community engagement/evangelism part of CMing is just as important as the backstage stuff.

So stuff like CHAOS or having CMs dedicated to sets of communities (eventually)
Trick is, of course balancing that/putting it across so someone can go "Hey, so, the community thinks so" and convince folks who actually make the decisions that this is important

Welcome [Valued Associates That Make Up] CHAOS!
Alex Miller on September 15, 2011

For the past couple months, we’ve had a new team starting up out of our NY office, CHAOS (or if you’re not into that whole brevity thing: Cheerful Helpful Advocates of Stack Exchange).  You’ve probably seen them around some of the sites or run into them in one of the chat rooms – but here’s your official introduction:

CHAOS works directly with Joel and me to come up with, and execute on, new ways to promote all of the new SE sites and bring in new users.  Looking at the original job posting we put up, you can get a bit of a feel for what they’ll be doing: …

That's chaos
Also I wonder what Aarthi is doing these days ;p

There are times I wonder if in light of a traditional Plan, Do, Check, Act cycle if there is too much Plan, causing the Do to seem ineffective and only with some new initiatives the Check phase is executed, which makes Act look like too little too late. But it is easy to make these observations from the side-line and then have an opinion about it.

@JourneymanGeek I think folks have acquired an acute distrust of stack exchange management and now everything is viewed from the "what if they're all evil SJW's" angle first and foremost
 
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
@Magisch well that's one viewpoint
The other is that SE has been focused on SO or jobs or the next big thing
(docs, enterprise...)
 
John Dvorak
John Dvorak
Whatever can be sold
 
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
Yup
And that's an odd place to be when the product or products most people know is free

Magisch

10:47 AM
I think it's unfair to begrudge them wanting to make money
 
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
Nope
That's why critique is hard
SO's brand and market has a ton of value, and the focus made business sense. I don't think careers was the best focus for revenue growth, since it's a crowded market but I guess it worked well enough until it didn't
 
John Dvorak
John Dvorak
It would work if SO let people report fake entries

John Dvorak

10:53 AM
What do you mean, "we're doing too well"?
 
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
But that kinda means folks feel a bit neglected when things go wrong, sometimes
@JohnDvorak well if folks don't need to worry about how communities run, sometimes feedback is... Slow?
There's a few complaints about it
There's a big difference in the early model of community management for a small set of sites and how it runs now
 
John Dvorak
John Dvorak
Can't you just make things work the first time each time? :P
 
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
Nope
Cause things don't always scale
We'd need maybe 3x the CMs :p
But the current model isn't perfect either (and I like the theory of what is essentially a community engagement team) and well... Iteration here is good
 
rene
rene
yes, let's iterate
 
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
Well it feels like a step in the right direction
So, entirely unfounded speculation....
The CM in charge of this is both demoted upwards at Tim Post puts it and an international CM. There's going to be a team dedicated to this and 2 to 3 folks is a pretty big chunk of the current cm team, whether or not it's current or future cms
This kinda has some weight behind it, and is focused on smaller sites
I mean we can't know what will happen in 6 to 8 weeks.
But stuff working would benefit the wider community as a whole
You also have folks still working on singular sites or smaller clusters over network wide or newer proposals
.... Dang that's most of a post
But ya, mostly positive for now, but I'm an optimist :p

@rene she was born in the worse winter storm for the year and was stuck in the mud and couldn't stand and she had sores from lying in the mud. she had exposure and it's a miracle she's alive, her temp was low and she hadn't drunk anything. So those patches are healing well. I've used vaseline and baby oil to rub into them onece they healed. She's so darn cute and her mum drops food all over her while she's eating. Our other foal had so much food dropped on him one of the other horses ..

yep that's what the little filly tries to do - harm me, but she lets me pat her now.

the filly's mum was really wild, so she's taught her foal some very protective skills. Which is a good thing, but takes longer to adjust to humans

horses are actually scary as hell to me. An adult horse is like 800 lbs of mostly muscle and a kick from one can pulverize bones in your body

actually an adult horse is more like 900-1000 lbs or 500+ kg

Horses are OK in themselves, bit a bit of a pain when stuck behind them on a country lane with no passing. Usually, the rider will pop into the nearest field gateway so I can creep past in my car, but still a pain. Walking Bailey is also a major PITA, since he's terminally useless around horses, deternined to either a) spook the horse so the rider gets thrown or b) get himself killed.

@YvetteColomb Do you also ride your horses or just care for them?
I'm curious

@Magisch have ridden a bit. About to start riding one of them again. But with a bitless bridle.

In today's terrible ideas I've heard about: going to a gun range for a team building exercise
 
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
@Tinkeringbell yes :p
 
Tinkeringbell
Tinkeringbell
@Magisch It works?
I can imagine lamer team building activities ;)
@JourneymanGeek I'll try and find it :)
 
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
It's a bit... More subversive as an adult
@Magisch hah. Might work in the us
 
Magisch

@Tinkeringbell Not really for team building, everyone will be wearing noise cancelling headgear
 
Tinkeringbell

@Magisch So? You get a chance to shout at your manager! :P

@Magisch Well sure. If I was the manager who just announced no raises this year, I would be very dubious. There are so many hunting accidents, and the like..
 
Magisch
Magisch
for some reason I read that as "shoot at your manager" and was like um no
 
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
@Magisch fancy. As opposed to earplugs

@Magisch Well, in some cases...........

@Magisch if it was paintball....
 
Magisch
Magisch
I got a lot of bruises from the time I played paintball
turns out even small capsules of paint hurt like hell if they hit you in the ribs or side of the head
 
Tinkeringbell

2:06 PM
@Magisch That might work too, depending on how much your team hates the manager. The exercise would be not to let the police find out who shot at the manager XD
I guarantee it'll help weeding out the weaker the team members :P

Martin James
@Tinkeringbell "You're fired!"
 
Tinkeringbell
Tinkeringbell
@MartinJames Quite literally :D
 
John Dvorak

that would be "fired at"

@ShadowWizard Or an inspirational speaker + group exercise on some lame subject? :P

Well I was in bike/horse riding while at amdocs.

Something involving sticky notes, pens that don't quite work...

Riding a bike designed for horses
 
Tinkeringbell

@JourneymanGeek I'd make synchronized swimming fun :P Just splash/pull everyone under and ignore the whole exercise :P
 
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
@Tinkeringbell or just pretend to be a shark...

@Tinkeringbell and who shot the deputy? ;)
heh... what a good and old song....
 
Tinkeringbell
Tinkeringbell
@JourneymanGeek That's cool too, but I somehow doubt it'll help the team building if I start biting people
@ShadowWizard It probably is good, even I know it :P

@Tinkeringbell ... my mental image of you keeps getting more interesting lol.

@Tinkeringbell yup. Was on my walkman as teenager and during army. Helped me pass long hours of... stuff... rather well. :)

@JourneymanGeek Don't. I'm only this witty when I'm online and have some time to conjure up a response ;)
 
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
@Tinkeringbell true of many of us ;)

Well, my mental image is a blond version of velma. Only dutch ;p

@JourneymanGeek I must admit I'm bad at mental images ;) I don't often make them, and if I do I'm horribly wrong XD

IDK why I assume you wear glasses ;p

2:21 PM
@JourneymanGeek absolutely guilty
 
Tinkeringbell
Tinkeringbell
@JourneymanGeek Maybe you've seen one of my earliest avatars ;) I do wear glasses :)
 
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
@Tinkeringbell naw
only seen the parrot ;p
I probably assume everyone on the internet wears glasses ;p
 
Tinkeringbell
Tinkeringbell
@JourneymanGeek Really? You don't remember the giraffe, branch with snow, and orange tulips? :P
Or the photo of me?
 
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
nope
lol

@Magisch lol

Tinkeringbell
@JourneymanGeek I thought I maybe saw you a few times when the chatroom got overrun with mods ;) But okay. I get my Yearling badge on the 23rd! :D.
So, I started with a picture of me, I think it stuck for 2 or 3 months :P
 
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
@Tinkeringbell plausible but doubtful unless someone asked for help
I think you're familiar with how I think chat moderation's best done, and I prefer to have a longer term working relationships rather than be a parachute mod ;)
 
Tinkeringbell
Tinkeringbell
That's true. I saw so many mods try and help though, I forgot count ;)

2:26 PM
to be fair a parachuting yorkie would make quite the entrance

@Magisch And reply 'woof' to every request for details :P

@canon nope, just a friend showing me some cats-evolutions in a mobile cats collecting gatcha game
@ShadowWizard the cat is called Howard.

@Tinkeringbell seems there are a few "coincidences" about some of those cats appearances

@Derpy That a Harry Potter cat?
The purple doesn't make sense to me :/

@Tinkeringbell probably a way to get around it being too on the nose ;)
