Can we make a @help tag?

its always good to see results, and hopefully, newbies that are helped will also, like adept, turn around and help others come through the system

OK, I see everyone agrees to do this, but words won't make this happen.

Who wants to take charge? First tasks would be bothering admins to get tags and forum section, second would be to choose volunteers. I would suggest a respected community figure, but if no one wants to manage it, I can volunteer to do it.

I believe Adept would be the best candidate to take charge, it was his idea after all. (consider this a nomination).

Should this not wait until BV is finished with the @alleg overhaul?

Probably.

As for being in charge, I can, but I don't know if I fulfill the respected community figure requirement.

Why don't we let Psych take charge.

I think you only need the respect of those who would be within the program, as those within would have no authority over anyone this shouldn't be a problem. I do believe most of those who would volunteer would qualify as part of the "carebear" camp, and you are arguably well respected by the carebear camp.

Being a certified CareBear I would prefer someone less controversial then Adept. His never ending fighting with Spidey just the most glaring example of someone a good portion of the community finds to be a bit annoying. Also Adept was in no way the "origionator" of the idea it predates him and you Slap.

Having Psych in charge of helping the new people is a bit like putting the fox in charge of the hen house. His strengths do not include patience for the newer members in my opionion.

Is anyone actually listening to BV?
