Agree with this.

If people keep pushing they are not going to want to moderate it anymore, and its already been decided not to delete the forum.

Why not hand it back to Tom? . . Why would any other moderator want to do it?

John has no obligation to try and pick moderator to please members. Although, this latest change could be looked at as a nice attempt to do exactly that . . which seems to be failing.

Why should it exist, James? It is solely a place for people with reasons that NPC members have explicitly said are NOT reasons to AI to pursue a pipe dream. Should we also have a forum where we can all post about our pursuit of the ability to fly? A forum for men who want to join sororities and women who want to join men's fraternities? A forum for people who think their pet poodle would make a killer sorority woman?

Why not? Didn't he put this site up to please members? I don't see huge advertisements generating clicks and profits.

This isn't an impossible request. Delete the forum and anyone with AI questions can find an AI.

If nothing else, this would make it easier for the current moderators since there would be a lot less reported posts.

In my opinion, Tom should be stripped of all moderator rights based on his recent conduct.

In my opinion, he should have been stripped of moderator rights long ago based on the content of his posts alone.

As much as I may or may not agree, let's not turn this into a "Who's the better moderator" debate--- please. It dilutes from the major issue that has been bothering the majority of NPC posters active in the AI Forum. We support AI within our sororities. We don't support AI as a Greek Chat forum.

Please do not ever again mention Tom being stripped. A picture I do not need in my mind!

Likewise. John is the only person who can do anything about that, so please contact him if you have a problem.

It's not Recruitment Forum Mods or Tom. We're saying that an AI Forum has no place here. AI is not recruitment. AI is something sororities invite individuals to in very special instances-- and it is overwhelmingly not something that we want to promote or publicize at this point in time. There should be no AI Forum or sub forum. AI can be discussed to the point of "I'm a new sister of XYZ and I joined through AI!" or a stickied thread at the top of the Alum Involvement Forum/Recruitment Forum stating that while GC recognizes the value AI members bring to their chapters, GC -RESPECTS- the wishes of NPC AI policies to practice discretion in not publicizing AI to non-members. Anyone interested in AI should talk to a friend or family member with a link to an NPC sorority."

Why is that so hard to comprehend? We don't want to discuss AI in the level of detail to which is has been discussed on GC?

AI is not recruitment. It is not part of chapter operations, risk management, social, fundraising, et. al. It is part of Greek Life, but an extremely modest number of women. The vast majority of members don't even know AI exists. Many don't like the idea of it. Others do. Those who support the program aren't actively recruiting in droves.

We don't need to promote AI on GC at all. No need for a moderator. No need for a forum. It just should not be the big issue it has become. This isn't about Tom. This isn't about Barb. This is about the AI process and exercising discretion. Why can't we do away with an AI specific forum and refer anyone interested to talk to a member of a sorority who AI'd?
