Need Help ? - Get hold of Community leaders - 18-06-2008, 02:34 PM

Junta!

The concept of Community Leaders have been pondered upon for a long time here and the way forum has grown it is high time we give some synchronization to this chaos!

So, to help the users, newbies and oldies, regulars and once in a blue moon shines, we announce new set of users called as Community Leaders!

So, lets run through few FAQs on what Community Leaders are all about -

Q. What are Community Leaders (CLs) ?

A. Community Leaders satisfy all or almost all of the criteria -

1> They have a track record of helping users over a period of time on the forums.
2> Have come up with ideas at regular intervals and made an effort to implement them.
3> Have taken initiatives like conducting PG meets, evangelizing PaGaLGuY.com at various platforms.
4> Are recognised by the majority of the community and have added value to the forum instead of noise.
5> Do not crib when faced with a stonewall, but take it as a challenge and overcome it.
6> Have a genuine interest to help the lives of Puys.

Q. Who will choose the Community Leaders ?

A. Administrators/Moderators will select the CLs. Suggestions from the community and current CLs will also be taken into account.
Few email exchanges and a telephonic/personal chat may happen to confirm the enthusiasm and the temperament of the user before making him a CL.

Q. What would a user get if he becomes a CL?

A. Recognition on the forum. Few sleepless nights. Opportunity to help people and make a difference in their lives. Hands-on experience of organizing and managing people. Also a certificate from PaGaLGuY.com highlighting your activities.

Q. Will the CLs have any extra powers besides normal powers?

A. No. They will get ranks for sure, but they wont have any extra powers like mods/admins. Though, there is a good chance that future set of >Moderators will come from these CLs.

Q. What all activities are expected from CLs ?

A. Activities which a CL will perform,
1> Guiding and mentoring newbies in relevant sections.
2> Build a self-moderation culture at PaGaLGuY.com forums.
3> Evangelize PaGaLGuY.com and volunteer for offline events.
4> Conduct events like GK quiz on Shoutbox, PG trivia Quiz etc. Counselling and providing information to the community will be also expected.
4> Have fun and spread the insanity!

For suggestions/feedback or any queries, please do post here and we will work together on improving this concept.

For starters,

MBA Exams and Institutes - sid_dharth
Exam Resources and Prep Related Issues - the_egonomist
GMAT related issues - baccardisprite
Alumni Talk Section - grondmaster
Forum related issues -
Tech related issues - naga_gangadhar ( A new user but part of tech team at PG HQ, hence the best guy for the job)


We are talking to few more users and very soon we will have more community leaders across the forum to make this place more awesome and helpful.
We will be requesting self nominations from people who are interested in becoming Community Leaders.

For starters, let us welcome sid_dharth, the_egonomist and naga_gangadhar !
The users can look upto Community Leaders for the following -
1> Regarding their career queries.
2> Prep related issues e.g. which coaching institute, which mock, which B-Schools to apply ,how to prepare etc.
3> Finding the right links and threads for information.
More to be added later


Cheers,
Rohit

congrats to sid,egonomist and naga

Will the community leaders be mentioned in the respective sections just like moderators so that newbies know whom to contact in case of any query?

Nice initiative PG HQ

Wow!
Once again think tank of PG comes up with a flying colors. CLs @PG .. excellent idea.. Imminent advs as we see:
1. Now we all know whom to approach for probs. (or to bug them)

2. Also CLs have a bit narrow region on which they hav to concentrate for info and share.
3. Its certainly a path for " Mods/Admin in making".
4. Recognise the efforts of people at PG.

Kudos to HQ@PG!!

One suggestion: y dont we recognise people at city level for POC sort of thing? :lookroun:Though all event for PG should be volunteered, identifying someone for each city would be a step ahead in expanding and stregthening PG domain. ( apart from encouraging more to come forward!!). And we do hav lot many PGites doing this in their respective cities, so give them an identity.


Roadblocks!!!! Let the life take a sharp turn.....
