VIP Editors

I'm sure after the three weeks pass, if it's decided that a second VIP editor is needed, one will be hired. However, at the moment, I do not see what all the fuss is about, and almost all of the arguements in this thread are flawed, but the simple fact the Administrators of the forum also have real lifes, and can not always be able to make the work done in that minute, hour or same day.

Bare in mind, it's also voluntary. Nick doesn't get paid for all the work he puts in.

Nick I don't think you understand what I am trying to say, I totally respect the fact that you have a social life and living on hxf to update the VIP requests all the time would just be stupid and unfair to you. What I have wanted to do is get more people as VIP editors because I don't think it's fair that you have to handle it all. I know nvr deals with the other side of VIP requests but from all the requests I have seen you get I think that I wouldn't even enjoy having to do them all, I'm sure you don't enjoy updating the VIP requests when there are loads. You have -repped me when all I am trying to do is help you by getting other people to be VIP editors and you might say you don't need my/any help but clearly from the times it has took quite a long time to update the requests you must need help. Would you say that you are never put infront of to many requests and you don't need any help at all? If you feel you are fine updating the VIP requests on a forum with other 30,000 members then I will close the thread and call it over, as this is really your choice. If you told nvr you didn't feel as if you could handle all of the requests and you needed some help I'm sure he would get some others on the job with you. The final outcome is decided by you.

You've put me in an interesting situation that I'm sure wasn't your original intent, I could deliberately wait especially long to update the VIP features thread delaying your reputation past the 7 day limit so that you are no longer entitled to it as well as delaying others purely because you are in no position to offer me an ultimatum and I often like being awkward when people show this sort of disrespect to someone who is ultimately volunteering his time or I could add it straight away making your little investigation invalid. Alternatively, there's the third option, the high road, often taken by me when this sort of thread arises which is to ignore your remark and continue doing my job as I see fit e.g. not based upon your conditions which you have no right to set.
In the two years I've been staff here I don't think I've ever seen someone who thinks so highly of themselves as to actually tell me how to do my job despite the fact that they have very little clue about what I do. In fact, I'm more than just a bit peeved at your lack of regard for what I do, as I said to Forum, it's not often I issue -rep because it's not fair on the receiver as I deal with the reputation issues but I will be making an exception for the second time in the same thread.

Reading that last post, it just seems to me that your telling Nick what to do as such. You keep saying, 30 000 members, but there are only a handfull from that which are V.I.P's and Nick does a great job dealing with them. Also, you can't just hire new editors, as it requires admin perms. P.S. I voted Yes by accident (Don't ask how) :P I meant no ;)

Yeah, I agree with you CHA!NGANG, you will need administrator permissions, which will be risky. They would only hire the old members that they trust, because you can't just hire them and give administrative rights, who knows what they will do. Plus they could also get your number, so that's a risk :P Plus this job is a tricky job, and he Nick- manages well.

Nick does an amazing fantastic job tbh but I just think he is getting overloaded with requests. But yeh about the admin rights, They would have to make a very hard decision on who to give them to.

There are a ton of trust worthy staff members on the forum, it really isn't that risky to hire a new VIP editor.

Nice to see people finally saying Nick does well. :)

Ok, I'm not having a go at you for having a social life, but surely... If you know you won't be able to make time to be a VIP editor then is it worth being it?
