Request to handpick experts from now on

Question

Ok so before i did not really approve of this because i thought there was no reason for it and thought it didnt matter, but after what happened with gligurr, this proves that the expert position can be abused and that even though you manage to reach 6,000 points, which is actually really easy to get nowadays, you should not automatically gain the expert position. Also the expert position is overinflated and i could go on with many more reasons but you guys have heard them all already from posts such as this, so I'm gonna leave it as this. But this incident proves that experts should be handpicked just like mods and editors are.

this again? I thought pokemaster answered it pretty definitively a couple of weeks ago. Oh, and yay, i made indigo's list  :P

---

Yeah, it won't happen and probably never will.

Indigo, if you actually used your Expert powers, weren't spam voted by buddyvoting you  might be in line for Editor.

Sempi. I'm a pretty active Meta-only expert ;~;?

Answer 1

Experts gain the ability to edit posts. IMO there is nothing wrong with having more people who can edit posts, as it should improve the overall quality of the site.

Part of PM's post here.

Really it answers your post too, because PM is stating that he has no problem with a large amount of Experts, whose job is to edit answers, questions and comments to better improve the quality of the site. Therefore PM is unlikely to take any measures soon to reduce the amount of Experts we currently have or will have in a hypothetical amount of time.

Editors on the other hand....

Comments

We need new Editors tbh.

Question I can't bother to link for.

And either way, this is the only time someone has abused their Expert powers to my knowledge.
So Expert re-organisation ain't gonna happen any time soon because of this mere problem.

Demote Maik to Editor
/me fleeeeeez

---

Dang, I understand Semp..

/me demotes Semp to reg on the site and server

---

we all know this was the first time that this has happened but like semp said, it can happen again and someone can do something much worse.

---

Oh please, when Ninja became mod we all knew we were screwed. :P

*Looks at Semp's comment*
Dude, that does like zero damage.
*Looks at Mike's ridiculous counter."

Someone with editing powers can do something worse like... edit posts? Between regular users who can edit their posts back to the original question/answer (edit history) and experts, editors and mods who can do the same, and a ban report page and how fast something like that would get caught, there's only so much "worse" it can get. Someone of Editor level would do something worse, but honestly, what kind of troll has that amount of patience?

trachy....
Entire argument trashed....
