Not arguing or anything, I don't have anything wrong with the management team, I just think fresh faces are needed!
Also Martin was off for about 3 weeks I do agree that's enough time.
Also members on the forum wanted Martin to become (AGM) staff after Garion's departure, however it was Oli who stepped in if I'm not mistaken, and he was suppose to leave at New Year however I think he is doing a good job at the moment.

I can understand why people wanted Martin to become AGM Staff at the time when Garion resigned. Yes Oli did get the job and still is doing a good job at the role, hence why he never left at the New Year after me and Jin decided he can stay and carry in with the role till whenever he decides to go fully.

Maybe it wasn't but Martin got the job and was the person who we thought would be the best at the job at the time, he wasn't the only one on our list either.

But a plus certainly was that you wouldn't have to remove a department manager from a department.

Same faces? Hmmm

AGM Staff has changed hands a few times in the last 6 months, Roxy was AGM Comm for just over a year and i think Joe has been too. As for Dept Managers, in RV we had 3 new RV managers last year and obvs 3 new assistants, even though me and previous manager were manager a couple of year ago too.

Forum manager has changed loads. HxHD manager changed this year, Events changed, News changed. I think near enough every Dept had a manager change, i think those are enough fresh faces! We can't have managers changing all over the place, the best managers are those that stay for atleast 6 months, that way you actually manage to change things and bring the department forward.

If that's what you want to think, then fair enough. But that wouldn't stop us asking us a department manager to be a member of the General Management Team if they thought they would be the best at it. If they accept, fantastic. If they don't, then we just go back to our list and ask the next person.

I was talking about General Management.

The only things that have changed really since I have been here are:

- Sammeth. leaving
- Catzsy being ill
- Roxy hiring
- Roxy resigning
- Martin hiring
- garion resigning
- oli returning
- matt promoting

I do agree there may have been a lot. However, most if not all of them were big names before they were in a gm role. That's all. :).


Also I can see where you are coming from whoever said they may not want to leave their department. Honestly if I was dedicated and was worthy and got offered a promotion then more than likely I wouldn't take it.

So you don't have anything wrong with the team but you think fresh faces are needed? Eh? Don't dilute your opinion just to avoid arguments and such. As long as you keep it constructive, we can only disagree with you :D

I agree with Matt (as in Mathew). There should be some structure in the lower/medium staff levels just to keep things running like clockwork but the general management shouldn't be structured as it's a bigger job and (assistant) general managers generally stay for a long time than lower staff.

I think you have to be a pretty big name in order to get into general management. I don't mean in terms of popularity on the forum, but i mean in terms of people knowing who you are because you speak out and get involved etc, you can't be having a quiet member of general management who knowone has a clue who they are :P

I wasn't.

I do not have anything against the general management team. Correct.
Yes I do want new faces.
However, Martin has been chosen, I can't do anything about it, I'd have to live with it regardless of what I wanted.
Martin will be a good agm but it doesn't mean that fresh faces are unneeded.
And maybe, when another spot comes up then a new, fresh face may take a role in a gm's shoes.

Did I explain myself clearly, I do know what I'm trying to say it's just harder typing it.

I can't understand though, cos Martin was a fresh face to GM?

Agreed. However, I think I included forum management as a gm role when I shouldn't have. :P
g2g.
