How Do You Get Appointed as a BG?

I think there were about 60 pages or so outstanding last weekend when I was trying to catch up all week. I appreciate it's a time consuming role for those that help out though.

I do click on some but tbh I mainly notice them when I'm way behind and if I click expired on all of them with the way it isn't a quick click (ie I have to click back multiple times to get out of it) and on this slow pc I'd never catch up.

If you're using FF (not sure whether it works with other browsers), click Ctrl + mouse click or Ctrl + Return and it opens the link in a new tab which you can close when you're done, saves the going backwards and forwards all the time.



ETA: Whoops, great minds think alike

Mrs Tine joined to help with the advents in December, but I'm not sure whether we're still supposed to send PMs to her re merge requests etc.

Good point. Might be better if her name wasn't still on the BG list for the comp board if that's the case.

Personally, I would like to see another BG appointed. Not in any way suggesting that our BGs aren't doing a great job, but there does seem to be a lot of work to do. Not sure how they share the workload, but I do have a sense that it is probably very time consuming.

Also, it would be handy to have BGs around at different times. Sometimes something crops up that feels more urgent than the norm. Like dealing with a Troll, or nasty comment. Or perhaps something urgent to do with a particular comp. During the day, it's rare to find a BG green lighted. I dunno, it's like they have lives or something

Just to update you guys, following my request in site feedback, the thread there received this from MSE Andrea today:

Hi

We like the idea and have tweaked it.

We're not going to say the number as we don’t want to encourage its misuse. For the same reason can you also not mention it on the forum if you figure it out?

Thank you!

Andrea

Figured I'd cross-post it here so that the reg's (and newbies) can utilise the expired button better and of course it gives our BG's some rest!!

Obvious, to mirror what Andrea mentioned, if you do figure out the number, keep it to yourself
