You're a good GMT. And from what I can see, you care about the community. I just don't want to see OT die.abraker wrote:
You may think, but there is a good reason for it. There is a strong desire for the GMT to be interweaved with the community. There have been more calls to bring people into the group who's purpose is not strictly to moderate but bridge the gap between community and the GMT/NAT/osu!team. Occasionally the idea of community ambassador or some equivalent role would come up, but as of now that's also GMT/NAT's job as well.Karmine wrote:
But their role as GMT is to moderate chat and forum, not organise tournaments etc.abraker wrote:
Most people who become GMT are ones that did some sort of management, participated in osu events prior, or gave to the community in some way - be BN, host tournaments, voice in streams, lead ranking criteria changes, etc. I suppose there is unconscious favoritism within people participating officially organized events or made community impact instead of giggling amongst others in some little area you can chat in
That's kind of a bad way to select GMTs imo
If you reduce GMT to strictly moderation you get an empty husk. I moderate OT, yea, but I don't just silently lock posts and silence, but I interact with you guys. I work on pp development. I am one of the few GMTs that actually go into multiplayer and casually play with people. That's all considered part of what a GMT should be doing.
