[wp-forums] New Forum Posting

[Josh Lobe]

Thanks for the response James; and all that you do!

I'm not quite sure how to react.
I've lost count of how many support topics I answer (it's certainly more 
than 10 every 6 months, though).
I appreciate the push towards Slack, and you will certainly be seeing me 
there.

However; hear me out.
Being a moderator on the support forums carried a little "prestige" if 
you will.
After contributing for years; I was finally recognized and offered the 
functionality of a moderator.
Since, I have worn the title proudly, and feel a sense of accomplishment 
with each individual I assist.
Now, I am basically stripped of that status, through no real fault of my 
own.
Of course, I know there are those who contribute way more than I.
It's just a shame a role couldn't be created to handle us "in betweens".

Thanks for reading; and thanks for all the hard work :)
