Thanks for the response everyone. Oh well, it was a brainstorm that I wanted to share on here - although I do agree that there are many technicalities that need to be considered.

For instance, the issue that changing member status every week wouldn't be feasible. But as srk_lover suggests, we could probably have a longer duration - like viewbie of the fortnight, or the month. That would be less of a burden on the admin and be less of a confusion for members, and also address some of the concerns that others have raised - such as 1 week would be too less to get used to the job, or too less for people to take them seriously.

The idea does come with certain constraints, but nothing that can't be adressed. It may not seem feasible now, but it could be one for the future.

P.S. Nice discussion, by the way, although I seem to be the only non Dev Team member in this thread 😆. Can we move this topic to the DM section - just to see what other people think of the idea, regardless of whether or not it can be implemented 😊

By the way, some people have privately mentioned that I've brought up this idea as I want to be a viewbie myself. I want to clarify that that is not the case. It is simply an idea I found worth considering, as it makes regular members feel like an important part of the forum, and can be conducive to a closer relationship between the Dev Team and the regular members of this forum. Even if the idea is tried out, I declare myself unavailable for consideration for any such position.

Hope that takes the focus away from me and towards the concept itself.

OK, so the moral of the story is , i am getting a well deserved vacation ticket from Vijay.. 😳😳😳Lol!!!

Anyways, now back to the serious part of this discussion... Shady, this is not feasible yaar.. We as Admins cannot keep track of the members working as Mod for a Week/Viewbie for a Week... It will be a huge burden on us to keep a check on the way they operate.. This wil be a tough job for us... Though the idea was unique and we did brainstorm on it, this looks like, an idea which cannot be implemented... 😳

Hi Shady.....good to see you back amongst discussions... 😛

However I will be frank...it's not a good idea I am afraid...

What happens is that there is a complete process which we have to undergo while choosing any person as a dev team member. We have had bad experiences even while choosing our regular viewbies or mods. Plus, we have soooooo many sections, and we can't have just one viewbie of the week from one section, the other members would go on a rampage asking for the viewbies/mods of the week for some 100+ sections that we have.....I can't even begin to imagine the confusion that will bring....making for a longer duration is even worse, as that will actually bring in numerous trouble arising from such a situation; because whoever gets chosen temporarily is bound to not take it seriously, and can do stuff which might create a lot of trouble for the existing dev team. So instead of helping, it can actually make matters worse.... while the temporary dev team member will leave, the regular ones might end up cleaning up the mess left behind...

This apart from the fact that both the admins will leave on vacation simultaneously... 😆 😆

But 👍🏼 for giving the suggestions...hope to see more such suggestions....

😆 Good idea about the PA Admins - they can take over handling the status change requests, saving a lot of time 😛
