that's another thing we'll need to decide on, the team of people who'll be doing the update topics, and in what way we'll choose the team and add new people if needed.
but that's something for later, as we'll first need to get the basics done
How they would even get nominated would be another. Nominate those who post is what the other update thread? With all the updates being posted in a locked thread who would post in that thread in the first place.
The only way that anyone could get added is by ether arbitrary decisions or by favoritism. There is no way for anyone to ern the right in such an arrangement.
And even if there was what perimeters would you set? News is to diverse to do that with. MIRC, reddit, twitter, forum posts, and streams. It all can have information in it.
Do we count every post as equal or do we arbitrarily decide which posts have more value?
And what's more who is the one deciding who gets to be in this group?
Even if you open it up to public voting there are bound to be people who get shafted because of personal opinions about them and others who get voted for the same reasons regardless of there abilities to what read and copy data?
If there is no real way to do this fairly it should not be done at all.
Besides one important fact that you are all forgetting.
The system we have works. It works because of the way it is set up now.
Because everyone decided to pitch in and work together all on there own for no reason other than they wanted to help. They didn't do it for glory or privilege and in fact might have never posted if there was ever the promise of such a thing.
The plain simple truth is that this thread was built by the community as a whole. And no person or persons has the right to take it away from them, from us.
