What you do is you provide yourself with a way out, right now once you update some one you are locked in until the site downgrades them which is far too long in my opinion.

Simply adding a new guideline that says "new contributors will be on probation for the first three months and if their activity falls below what we consider acceptable they will be downgraded at the site admins discretion."

Nothing wrong with that and we don't have that many new contributors and we will notice if they stop right after they are upgraded and if they do fall off right away during their first three months as a contributor and we feel upgrading them was a mistake then we have a way to downgrade them and be done with it, problem solved.

This gives us the freedom to upgrade the new folks after a week or two if we want and still have a way to close them down in the next month if they fall off, and also we would then have reason to make them prove their self more should they try for it again in the future.
I think that is a great idea!

There you go Speed you tell him! :cool:

BTW if anyone is interested I found a picture of Baz from back in his younger days when he was in his pansy greaser stage...

:p

I'd add couple of words but other than that looks fine.

I see no reason not to :)

Code: Select all

So with the new rule in place, do we now upgrade highlight? And does this also affect Cyrmor's contribution request?

Yup no history tracking in there as far as when users are added or downgraded so no way to tell who is new and who is not or how many times they have been promoted and demoted either which also kind of sucks lol...

Yes and it's a win-win as it opens the door to be less strict on who we let in or how soon as we have a way to deal with it after the fact if needed, rather than being locked in to a bad call for months.
