Question

Ambassador ranks! If @Preetha really trusts a ambassador and thinks they deserve a promotion then here are some ranks eventually leading up to a moderator!

Ambassador+
Ability to have a custom title

Ambassador+ Lite

Ambassador+ Extra
Ability to delete response to posts (in-case of above/direct answers)

Ambassador+ Super
Ability to delete questions

Ambassador+ Mega
Ability to warn+special color

Ambassador+ Epic
Ability to suspend for max 5 minutes

Ambassador+ Extreme
Ability to suspend for max 1 hour

Ambassador+ Ultimate
Ability to suspend for max 24 hours+special color

Answer 2

I agree very much. @Jaynator495

Answer 3

This is cool.

Answer 4

I think Ambassador+ Epic should be the last and best one.

Answer 5

Ambassador ranks...? o.o

Answer 6

Yes indeedy eclipsed

Answer 7

Different ambassadors get different powers based on how well they do.

Answer 8

I like this, but the purpose of ambassadors are not to moderate but rather to welcome new users, promote OpenStudy, etc.

Answer 9

Those upgrades have mod powers though...which isn't the best as moderators are distinguished from their powers.

Answer 10

Exactly, tso.

Answer 11

no eclipsed, these are given based on perofrmance, youll have to spend a long time earning them.

Answer 12

By the time you deserve one of those ranks, you could be promoted to a full moderator :P

Answer 13

There should be Ambassador+Ultra.

Ability to Suspend and delete posts and comments.

Answer 14

ambassador ranks is like a transistion to moderator... like trial runs progressivley leading up to see if someone thats already a ambassador, can handle more... but as i said, only if they deserver it

Answer 15

@Jaynator495
You put the ability to delete posts but I don't see the ability to close posts.

Answer 16

thesmartone... you are right, but that will never stop me from trying to help openstudy x'D

i may not be the best behaved, but ill still try to help openstudy improve ._.

Exactly like what a mod does? I see trouble brewing. There's a reason why moderators are all 18+.

Answer 18

which is exactly the reason i would turn down moderator if i was ever offered it LOL

Answer 19

Also the only powers ambassadors should be allowed to have are the ability to close questions, warn, and suspend for a maximum of ten minutes.

Answer 20

Eclipsed, i said deserved and earned, for some youll need to be 18+ for, and for some of the begining you dont have to ._.

Answer 21

I'm all-through against this...a mod's powers is the thing that distinguishes them from others.

Answer 22

I dont think this is needed moderation is NOT the job of ambassadors

Answer 23

it all depends how you behave, and how you act, and if you deserve it.

Answer 24

Plus, having powers isn't an ambi's job.

Answer 25

Its like a stairway. Bring yourself to the top. This scale/stairway that Jay produced is very reasonable. They start off with a very limited power and once the officials see how we are doing they can either demote us or promote us.

Answer 26

EVERYONE STOP SAYING IT ISNT A AMBI JOB ;-;


In my view a ambassador is the bridge between mods and users, and main goal is to improve openstudy, and help the community... if you earn it then you deserve it ._.

Answer 27

We dont need it :) maybe the ability to kick and close questions for ALL ambi's would be nice but other than that this is not needed

Answer 28

exactly! conflux gets it! *phew*

Answer 29

I know @EclipsedStar but, mods can do way more.

Answer 30

Oh?

Answer 31

I like the idea, but I think this should be applicable to everyone. So that way we could put the most helpful people of our community and see how they would use their limited powers before letting them become full on moderators.

Answer 32

^ but then, only the popular users benefit,

Answer 33

Not really.

Answer 34

@DARTHVADER2900 , admins can do the most.

Answer 35

plus, if you do something wrong, since they see all actions for this, you can be demoted if you end up abusing, even after proving youve earned it ._.

Answer 36

If the user isn't popular that means he hasn't really helped the community...

Answer 37

he/she*

Answer 38

The most popular would most likely abuse the limited powers before they become moderators. @EclipsedStar

Answer 39

I know that. They are administrators....

Answer 40

Admins are not the most powerful.

Answer 41

Kittens are.

Answer 42

Job of an ambi:
To welcome users and solve problems ( IF SOLVABLE if not mod is the next step)
Job of a mod:
Keep OS clean ban/suspend/warn
Job of admin:
all of the above + development

Answer 43

no, you have to first earn ambassadorship, as this is step 1 of earning it, after that you work up a bridge... the last one is the easiest bridge to jump to mod.

Answer 44

Lol the people that knew me called me helpful when I was increasing my ss but when I went to the chat for the first few times everyone was like "who are you" :P

Answer 45

haha. Yes kittens are the most powerful

Answer 46

:)

Answer 47

A lot of ambassadors become mods later on.

Answer 48

only like 5 succeeded :P

Answer 49

More.

Answer 50

I think like 10.

Answer 51

Nope.

Answer 52

Well ambi's are 13+ mods are 18+ imagine a 14 year old with power think
will they be able to use it responsibly? (no offense i could name few ambi's who would overdo it)

Answer 53

@EclipsedStar You also have to think how many people have become ambassadors, and how many of them are active, how many of them are over the age of 18.

Answer 54

pooja what part of SOME would be available to people under 18 did you not get? D:

Answer 55

I really think that there is a reason why there's an age gap between those two jobs.

Answer 56

Then only would an ambassador have a chance of becoming a moderator.

Answer 57

Ah...

Answer 58

Gotcha tso :3

Answer 59

Ok maybe closing questions and kicking from chat would be good i dont think the rest is necessary :/

Answer 60

But yes tso u have a point ;)

Answer 62

As long as they're minor powers and are not abused.

Answer 63

only some powers would be available to get under 18 years old, after that limit is reached you cant go farther up the chain until your 18

Answer 64

I think the powers would get abused

Answer 65

Some people could give fake ID's showing they're 18+ @Jaynator495

Answer 66

that wont cut it LOL

Answer 67

New ideas get mainly criticism unless someone with a higher authority supports it.

Answer 68

eclpised, now theres such a thing as a background check

Answer 69

@EclipsedStar
Some people could give fake ID's showing they're 13+ and become an ambassador.

Answer 70

Jay why would busy people go all their way to check someone's background.

Answer 71

@pooja195
I said "higher authority".

Answer 72

Why not?

Answer 73

i think ambassador+ extra rank would be the last rank a 17 and under person could get

Answer 74

@confluxepic you yourself said that you were younger than me but my first impression of you was 16 years old.

Answer 75

People lie about their age

Answer 76

o.O hes younger than you???

Answer 77

YEah

Answer 78

eclipsed... why are you saiying this... do you even know what a background check is... theres like 2108942390158903856902348690238476934869834968349086930486903486903486903846908349068349086 internet searchers for background checks and none of them take long to read x'D

Answer 79

:O

Answer 80

@EclipsedStar
Now don't you think that mental age matters more than physical age?

Answer 81

That's what I meant. People could act 18 for a "background check".

Answer 82

if thats the case then my mental age is 17 but thats niether here or there i STILL act like a child x'D

Answer 83

How would someone act 18 O.o

Answer 84

\(\color{blue}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @EclipsedStar

\(\color{blue}{\text{End of Quote}}\)
Then they deserve to be treated as an 18 year old if they act like one.

Answer 85

Saying more vocabularical terms, etc.

Answer 86

eclipsed... thats physicly not possible... a background check checks birth records... crime records etc

Answer 87

...and how would someone get that if they aren't presented with it? lol

Answer 88

BECAUSE THEY ARE PRESENTED WITH IT FROM A SEARCHER!!! all you need is there name and you can search all this online... google is a scary place

Answer 89

gO_Ogle

Answer 90

I like the idea, but highly doubt it would be approved :/

Answer 91

That is true. Everyone is tracking people now days. Very scary.

Answer 92

mmhmm.

Answer 93

Let's just leave powers to the mods, where they belong. No need for people less than 18+ to handle tools meant for 18+ chosen people.

Answer 96

Yep
