Since there are several folks on the TB who have been very vocal about not liking moderators it does strike me as somewhat curious that now there is an Ambassador program that is being proposed that sounds as though it will take away from what the moderators currently do. Sheesh - FT sure is becoming quite the bureaucratic organization imo.

I would recommend that perhaps the TB looks at the examples from SanDiego1K and how she welcomes everybody into a forum when she notices they are a "newbie." Additionally, seems to me that most of the moderators don't need any further assistance and when they do it seems that Randy appoints new people to the forums.

I also see snarkiness in a few of the forums but it certainly seems far and few between. Like CluebyFour mentioned I have no clear understanding why the TB is spending time on this topic. Seems like another way to push out moderators instead of the TB supporting what they do wholeheartedly.
