Board Helpers are a new thing on RD and I want to briefly explain what they are and why they are here.
RD has grown a lot over the past years. And we are greatful for that. But it also means that moderating the board has become increasingly difficult and time consuming.
In order to fix that, we have created the role of Board Helper.
A Board Helper is regular member who has been active on RD for a long time, and who knows the board well, and is willing to spend some time helping Maria and I in the task of moderating the board.
A Board Helper does NOT have any moderation rights. They are purely here to report what is happening on the board to Maria and I.
They are just regular members who have access to a moderation forum on the board where they can report and discuss what is happening on the board.
You can clearly see who is a Board Helper. The member profile will have the title "Board Helper" as well as a line of green stars.
Will this moderation forum be accessible to members where they can read what is being discussed but not post. Interesting idea Lucy, if people break rules then they shouldn't be surprised to see their names. I doubt it. If it is Thomas would have told us. |

If I may speak on behalf of us Green Stars  the paid employee posters are one of the primary focusses we have. And also had before we got this fancy extra title. Do you also have a secret handshake? |

LOL, nope sorry It's really not like a secret society or a cult or anything, I'm afraid. (Of course, that's what people always say - right? )  No, in all seriousness, I'm sorry that some posters are overreacting out of only knowing half truths and whole lies. I completely understand that it's easy to become paranoid but as long as people post by the rules there's nothing to fear from Maria/Thomas. In that sense NOTHING has changed The BHs don't have any power, we are simply posters who have promised to report if we notice something iffy - the same way that normal posters can do - which is handy because of different time zones. CF: Thanks for making both Jazzy and me smile |

I think it's extremely unfair that some members get green stars, while I am stuck with yellow. No... just kidding I'm perfectly OK with stars the colour of urine while others get green... Helpers on RD is a great idea, in particular when the board is a period of growth. Edited to add: the above yellow v. green remark is meant in good humour. I love yellow. Yellow rules |

And there are secret rituals involving large quantities of shiraz and back issues of Hello magazine! And you all have matching tattoos! |

Helpers on RD is a great idea, in particular when the board is a period of growth. Looks like we are both members of the urine royal dish club! We are not members of the Irish green royal dish club. I have a strange urge to burst into Danny Boy. At least we can share a urinal together. As we are member of the urine group.  |

At some point today I thought that EVERYBODY besides me was a Board Helper (who would they talk about in the secret board then  ?) |

"She isnīt wearing ANYTHING", said a young child
The empress shuddered, for she knew that they were right, but she thought, "The procession must go on!" She carried herself even more proudly, and the chamberlains walked along behind carrying the train that wasn't there.
