Sharon, the ink is bearly dry on last year's vote. Isn't the decision fairly reached by the 2011 Talkboard deserving of greater respect. Sure, there may be credibility in this proposal if some material change in FT could be demonstrated but this has not been presented to the membership thus far.

Rich, I take you at your word. I think the important point is that I, personally, have absolutely no negative feeling about members posting in Omni. I am oblivious to the portion of a member's posts in Omni when searching for a new mod or a new ambassador or a volunteer in any other role. Omni is a great place for members to come together to have a range of conversations on any (civil) topic of their choice.
IMHO, it is a positive change from previous management beliefs and practices. ^ And thanks, RichMSN, for sharing your experience. Let the discrimination against OMNI end once and for all! ^^ |

At least the two of us, kokonutz, are in agreement about a third sub forum for OMNI and that whether or not the posts for that sub forum, if it gets created, should or should not count.
I suspect that there are other TB'ers who are probably in general agreement with this as well. |

I have been deeply engaged in selection of moderators for several years and now have ultimate responsibility. I look at whether they are active in the forum where a moderator is needed. Are they helpful and knowledgeable. Are they already modeling the leadership behavior we'd like in that forum. It has never occurred to me to look at their Omni participation.
Some time later I was having an email exchange with him about something else, and mentioned becoming a moderator. He told me that he thought I was too controversial. Now since I know I'm not controversial in the M&P forums, the only place he could be talking about was Omni, where he was the sole moderator at the time. So yes, Omni posters are not treated like other posters - and it came from the top. I was happy to be recognized in the Hyatt forum by being selected as an ambassador. Apparently, I'm not controversial there :D FWIW - Unlike Rich, I may still have the email :D |

I feel like there has been a good debate. And further we have seen some movement toward a 'compromise' of having OMNI count but potentially creating a OMNI games sub-forum. That's a positive outcome of this collaborative debate, imho.
It's unfortunate that we didn't put this compromise together in one vote, and I share the blame for that. However I'm confident that a Games forum proposal will pass, because games will otherwise proliferate once the posts start to count. We should anticipate and prevent that problem rather than reacting to it. |

Going in the opposite direction, I'd like to hear from folks why they don't prefer abandoning post counts instead of creating a sub-forum where posts don't count.

Perhaps you should say it came from the 'old' top (Randy) vs. the 'new' (Carol), since she posted:

I was discussing my situation and how it came from the top. I used the past tense. Meaning Randy. You may not have negative feelings, but as you can see by the posts in this thread, some people do. |
