lazdude, if we're going to assign these duties, I think we should adjust the permissions in the admin section so non-officers can make articles as well. Also, I could help with communication.

There was a rule of thumb I saw somewhere, that said, don't set permissions so that anyone can join the union and recruits can post articles. I can't remember if the permissions here are set so anyone can join. I would suggest that you first consider promoting those who would be posting articles.

On the topic, I don't mind helping, but I'm not going to take on a permanent responsibility here. Can't guarantee my time.

I had them set so only you can join if you're application is accepted. Also, these people are all leaders, so I can't see how a leader could ruin a union.

While I was just talking about if people could join as they wished, I will say that ANYBODY over a certain level can create a union, whether they are a well-mannered sort, or a troublesome sort, and as things are, if someone deletes something, you can't tell who did it.

Ok I have updated the responsibilites system with revised positions and have assigned each to a current officer I beleive would be fitting to them. If you are unhappy with your assignment, let me know here and we'll try to sort things out.

In the near future I will adding jobs for normal members that do not require them to be officers, so check back soon. Any feedback also appreciated.

officers are all moderators, I'd say you're the lead moderator. I'm more of a co-admin, or something like that.

Well, that wasn't directed towards you, I was just stating that the unions full of people who have graphical abilities, but I know you were just making yourself available. I'd make myself available, but I still owe some people some sigs andstuff.

That's how it is with every GameSpot staffer. WWEv invited Alex Navarro (AlexN) to the union, and for some reason he made himself an Officer. Well, that was pretty much what he contributed as he never posted. We demoted him after about a month of inactivity. He's still in the union but he has yet to make a single post.

yes, but if it's a real crisis, then you can talk to a mod and they can boot the leader out

Well, since he's admin, I don't think he can be away from Gamespot that long, so you should be able to contact him before then. But I agree that the lack of activity is mainly due to the holidays, and a bit from the exodus.

I've been on vacation.

When I expressed interest in being promoted to be an officer, I was hoping to show up, answer questions, and generally help you (the collective you) have some insight, input, and staff presence. I haven't changed anybody's responsibilities in the union. Some people have left of their own accord and the holidays have definitely contributed to a slowing of posts in the union. . . except to insinuate I was abanDONing you.

:roll:

I believe in Unions at GameSpot and trust this place is a great forum for open discussion among union leaders. i am not going to force anybody to post nor will I send out PMs calling for activity. I will, however, ask critical questions here. If you don't post, I may not necessarily get the feedback I am looking for.
