Question Roll It Up Mentor System
permalink
I was just thinking about how Al B used to be a Moderator on Overgrow.com when it was still up. He is unable to take that position here on RIU and I remembered on OG we had what were called "Mentors". Basically they were just people recognized due to their contribution to the community. They were selected by both staff and the community.
I was wondering if anybody thought it might be a good idea to add this to RIU. I think it would be a good way to recognize people who have a wealth of knowledge/experience to offer and who have contributed that to the community.

I think it's a good idea.But they would have to be someone actually helpful with regards to growing, not just a lippy person with a lot of rep for being funny like me.Don't get me wrong, I'm happy to help where I can, but I'm no expert, lol.

Exactly I'm talking about growers here, the "mentor" status would be completely independent of rep points, number of posts, ect.

No no points just people chosen by the community and staff for their contribution of expert grow knowledge. The community would nominate them and staff would review and determine if they have been providing accurate info and have been helpful to the growing community. So just like it says "moderator" under Fdd's name it would say "mentor" under Al B just so new growers know he is knowledgeable and can be trusted to provide accurate info.

oh i get that.

With that, you could get rid of the Rep system.. At least people would know that the person who was posting was knowledgeable.

it's an annoyance to see people giving out bad information on the forum.

This would be good!!

Theres a good and bad to this idea...As with Stoney, I'm NO expert..I've had good luck and have had things work well for me..that being said, the good is the possible results (of students) and praise that a mentor gets, the bad is the possible shit talking that may result from a mentored person screwing up(and blaming some advice)... Maybe a special rep for the real pro's... the AL.B.FUCTS... fdd...and some others.... I'm sure that for even some experts giving advice can be risky, as good advice may not apply for two regions, problems...etc. I'm sure some,(as myself) have said to themselves that they hope to shit nothing goes wrong from any advice they gave...

I always preface any advice I give with "I'm NO expert"
