Sticky: How To be a respected member of ED Politics

[Kurd Jam]

The only problem is that if a single mod deems that as unworthy of ED, we all get screwed. So we should definately ask permission from all the mods who come through here before trying something like that.

I'm down, though.

It's just a counterfeit of the now deceased Big brothers and Big sisters of ED, which then switched its name to ED Mentoring program. I don't think there should be much problem with it since there wasn't when it was in the main board of Extended Discussion.

But sure, we need to ask the mods at least to get this idea stickified if we ever manage to get it to work.

I'd support the idea. We did it in the ED main forum and it worked for a while. I think it would probably have a better chance of success in this forum, which has a more focused user-base.

Oh yay! Good things. Write one Bolthorman as most definately interested in this.

Mitoguard also offers her assisstance. But does not know of the guild of which Cheese of Kurd speaks.

Well, I know I'm not really a "respected" member (or even really a regular yet, I think), and these posts are like two weeks old, but I really like the idea of having a mentoring system.

While I'm not a very good debater (at least online; I was captain of my high school's L-D debaters, dammit! ^^), I've had some experience with helping newbies in the "Welcome to Gaia" forum, a bit in the Q+F, and a lot with Avatar Talk.

So I would like to declare complete support of a mentor program. It would make less stress for the mods and the regs, and it would make the forum a little less intimidating to the uninitiated. 3nodding

I have read Duchess' new sticky, and I am well aware that gloating due to electoral results will not be permitted. However, this surely won't stop it from happening so two possible alternatives could be :

a) Waiting until after the election.

b) Setting it up before the elections, so we could partially prevent the already mentioned gloating from affecting this subforum much.

As always, suggestions, comments, critics or even donations for my devil tail quest are accepted.

Patton shall support this effort from behind his safe, cushy bubble whee

Will there be need for EDP Regulars to help report gloaters?

Oh! And I want to know how much Kurd needs for his quest whee

[Kurd Jam]

Well, the idea is to replicate the mentoring program that back in the day served new people in main ED. The only change will be that this new version will only serve the politics subforum, therefore, the presence of the regular posters would be quite nice to have, but pretty much anyone should be able to help one way or another.

I still need 360k gonk

[Patton]

Ah good, then I join up officially...well, I will when it starts xd

uh oh...hopefully my 1k helps. not to mention, hopefully my trade works...it's acting funny eek
