Well, at least I can say that some people's work is rewarded regardless of their attitude/language on forums and this is not necessarily bad, don't get me wrong. >>It's one of those generalizations which is not always true, but it feels true no matter what. For example I can say something like "90% of the Perl coders I know are normally complete asses on the boards and absolutely hate PHP" - but they do code, and well. >>For this reason I think they should they be rewarded for their work like anybody else. >> >>Just one concern: where's that page with the "CyberArmy Principles" (or something like that) gone? You know that page with the "rules" of conduct for the members of this community, things people should keep in mind before posting on the boards like "I'll be excellent towards other members" and stuff like that. Note, I used "should" even if Halley tells me of for using always conditional auxiliaries rather than something stronger like have to, perhaps, simply because these are merely suggestions, (too) often forgotten. >> >>Enough paternalism, I'm not really qualified for that after all, and there's no need. >> >>Ranks... well, people say ranks don't matter, others that are a way to reward people for their work and can be used like a business card when getting recruited, sometimes. >> >>"Hello. I'm a Kernel" >>"Oh, welcome, I'm honored that you decided to join my group!" >> >>...simply because "Kernel" is supposed to mean I really gave my soul to CA, after years of dedication. This is NOT meant to be sarcastic regarding sefo's field promotion, just I can see where that feeling of "surprise and amusement" comes from: for some members sefo - let's say that - has been kind of annoying on the boards, lately, and then he gets a promotion to Kernel! >> >>roflmao!!!!!!11 >> >>The main problem with this that I can see from an objective point of view is that he got promoted for his work on Sered, i.e. something that people CANNOT see. We don't know what sefo really did to deserve the promotion, and that's what pisses some people off, I think. General Goldfish? More tolerable: he's the project leader first of all, even if people don't know what he did, potentially he did a lot. And then there's the story that he was General before, so it looks like a reinstatement even if is not supposed to, whatever: his promotion seemed more justified, perhaps. >> >>Enough of judging other people, for now. >> >>"White" members who do brigade work: this seem to be the latest trend. Personally I have nothing against it, not at all! If they feel more comfortable because they don't wanna commit, because they are pissed off with the system, because they'd like to do many things and don't give a shit about colors, whatever, their choice, not mine. >> >>I'm happy that princessoha decided to try helping us with a new template for zZine,and I'm happy to get article submissions from people who are not in a brigade. Just today a member toldme he'd like to contribute to zZine without joining, for now. Fine! Good as long he contributes! No problem. >>Choices, different points of view: nothing really matters if the result is good. >> >>Let's try to see the positive side of things: sefo got rewarded for the work he did on Sered. Since he was awarded the rank of kernel, he probably did a good job. >> >>I have only one remark now. And a serious one. Did you ever thought that field promotions involving members who can sometimes be considered "annoying" (by SOMEONE, I didn't say "me": I believe you are all grown up and mature enough not to flame me for that!) could be seen as unfair? >>Normally/lately field promotions involve higher ranks... Kernel, Generals etc. What about some other "white" member with a lower rank who helped out but didn't get a promotion because he/she's not in a brigade? Well, I think THAT is something unfair, and yes, I could send some name out if needed. How about that? >> >>Blah. >> >> >><drama & sarcasm> >> >>Dear Father Christmas, >> >>This year I don't want the shitty toys you gave me last year, but could you please make some people behave in a better way on the boards? I know I am only little and they 0wn because they are l33t, but I ask you just that. >> >>Oh, and could you tell all Perl coders to respect otherprogramming languages? >> >>Also, could Speedy Gonzales be elected CA Member of the Month for December? >> >>...Oh, hell, nevermind, gimme the damn toys as usual, if you can't do anything of that, will ya? >> >></drama & sarcasm> >> >> >> There is never any negative feel in the air here and when there is, that person gets erased. It's all happy happy smile smile suck suck. - Ret. Mar ReDeeMeR 29/03/2003 Replies:
