No more green dits. Say hello to our mentors
As some of you have already noticed, the green dits are gone. The reason is that we've pulled the plug on the reputation system. We started with the rep system with the idea that it could be useful, but as it turned out there were many issues. We could have fixed some of those, but in the end we chose a different approach.
We have introduced a new group on SRP, called 'Mentor'. This group will have no additional power or options. Instead, it will be a public recognition of the fact that someone is a senior member who knows his stuff, so to speak, and helps out by answering questions. There are no requirements or additional responsibilities attached.
There are lots of people deserving the mentor rank, and we will contact more and more over the next weeks, and grow the group. We started out with a small group to get things in motion. Once this is done, we will regularly add new members as time goes by.
Mentors will be recognizable by the 'Mentor' badge underneath their username. Similar badges will be issued to site staff to make mods more recognizable for new members.
We hope that this initiative will be better than the rep system, in allowing experienced people to be more visible, and to give them a public acknowledgement of their efforts in the community.Til shade is gone, til water is gone, Into the shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath.
