Liloz01 1,256 / 19,750 Report Post Posted November 14, 2019 Changes to the Public Relations Team: PR was created with the intent of advertisement, conflict resolution, member acceptance and recruitment, event management, writing newsletters and grammar checking, YouTubers/Streamers and I'm sure even more than what I've listed. To achieve this many Sub-Teams of PR such as Human Resources, Event Coordinators, Writers, etc. were created throughout PR's lifespan. PR only ever had one leader at one time. Each time the Leader left due to their own personal reasons (usually burnout caused by the amount of work/confusion/responsibility), it would cause problems with leadership. Because of this, PR has been disbanded. However, some Sub-Teams have been made into standalone Teams: @Trigger now leads the Writing Team. Find information about the Writing Team here: https://gflclan.com/forums/topic/48338-writing-team-information/ Check out their dedicated Forum here: https://gflclan.com/forums/forum/1081-writing/ @Mejilla now leads the Event Coordinator Team. Find information about the Event Coordinator Team here: https://gflclan.com/forums/topic/48172-events-team-information/ Check out their dedicated Forum here: https://gflclan.com/forums/forum/1042-events/ Member Accepters: Directors will lead this team. Member Accepters do the simple job of greeting and accepting or denying new Player's Member applications. Expect a thread further explaining the Member application process soon. It will be changing in preperation for later changes to the system. Minimising and splitting teams make them far more simple and therefore manageable. Senseless ambiguity surrounding teams is no more! Any expansion in the future will be very slow and safe, no more exploding 3 Teams into 1 Team with 12 Sub-Teams with no gain in Team Members. Changes to the Media Team: Every Sub-Team in the Media Team but Graphics was disbanded due to a lack of activity from the members. For this reason, Media Team has been changed into the Graphics Team, which currently has no Team Leader. TL:DR; Public Relations (now Writing, Events and Member Accepters): PR has been disbanded due to it being too complex and ambiguous to properly manage and understand. Some Sub-Teams from it have now been made into Teams: The Writing Team which is lead by @Trigger - https://gflclan.com/forums/forum/1081-writing/ - https://gflclan.com/forums/topic/48338-writing-team-information/ The Event Coordinator Team which is lead by @Mejilla - https://gflclan.com/forums/forum/1042-events/ - https://gflclan.com/forums/topic/48172-events-team-information/ The Member Accepter Team, which is lead by Directors. (@Ben and myself). Expect a thread further explaining the Member application process soon. Media Team (now Graphics Team): Every Sub-Team in the Media Team but Graphics was disbanded due to a lack of activity from the members. For this reason, Media Team has been changed into the Graphics Team, which currently has no Team Leader. Thank you! P.S The Public Relations Forum will remain as it is for 7 days if there's anything in there you'd like to get. After that, I'll move it to some public trash bin or something.

Joshy 4,363 / 44,852 Report Post Posted November 15, 2019 If none of the topics are sensitive, then you could probably move it to off topic. I'm sure you may have noticed that we go through these cycles frequently, and so have the information easily available might be in the best interest of the community.

Joshy 4,363 / 44,852 Report Post Posted November 16, 2019 I think it would be acceptable for this suggestion to resurface. Truly simple and manageable; truly no more senseless ambiguity regarding bloated titles and teams. I really would not be surprised if most applications were based on the premise that the applicant is an admin/leader trying to help the players on their servers, and it's really not a bad reason. If they're shitty... then why trust them more with admin permissions compared to mere clicks "yes" or "no" in accepting members. Opposing views were based on a very outdated premise when I made the suggestion, that member acceptors had more high risk permissions ie. Admin CP. The only risk I ran into while I was in a role was server admins+ applying for membership, which they should be doing before they become admin and rare circumstances should not dictate the general flow.

Find the forum here: https://gflclan.com/forums/forum/1162-public-archives/ You should be able to view but not post on topics or create new topics. Related forms are now inactive. In relation to your suggestion which I cannot quote because mobile epic... Yes. I'll look into how easy that would be to do, my guess is not very, as it's all part of one huge forum plugin; "gflcore". It's also sad to say that the vast majority of Admins probably wouldn't even want to. Having the option there most definitely wouldn't hurt, though. The system for member applications is also going to be changed, hopefully soon, to be far more automated and self-directed... a goal that has existed for probably longer than your suggestion.

It would be hard to say if it was longer than my suggestion. I don't think it would be unfair of me to say I've had a lot of bold ideas and suggestions even before your time here; it's so long ago, that I'm sure a lot have forgotten my very brief stint as a staff member. No doubt I was often frustrated with the lack of support and overlooked suggestions- some of them were revisited later and credited to others.
