I made this post about promotions in January. Little has changed since -- we haven't got promotions, we still need promotions, and I still think the same people are deserving of spots as editors. Again, very quickly:
- !'•-Indigo-•'! has been active for the best part of three years and has made substantial contributions to the community, with over a thousand answers and another thousand comments. She could lend Sempi and I a hand covering Asia-Pacific timezones.
- Astronautical has been a consistently active and high quality contributor for over two years, and in that time has made several thousand posts. His timezone can help fill the gaps left by some of the less active staff members in North America.
New editors would help tremendously with the admin load as well as actively moderating the site. Much of our current staff members are busy with tertiary education and work. Individually, I am doing much of the mod work myself; I can remember decisions I made about virtually all the hidden posts in the admin. That should change.
As mentioned in the original post, I think we need more frequent and less stingy promotions. We need to take advantage of good quality contributors as staff members more often, so that situations like this don't occur.
Editors are first priority, but please also take a look through these two threads I posted if you get a spare moment. Also, there are still some Gen 7 moveset questions that have not gone up yet. We've also gone ten months without a name change thread, I think it's well and truly time a new one goes up.
(Pokemaster if there's any way we can help you with these kinds of things, we'd be willing to lend a hand. For example, you could give mods the password to MovesetBot or let us manage the name change threads as well.)
I'm not going away until this happens. ;P
