Brett is trying his best. Running a big group is no easy task:
I've done it myself many many times through the decades - (since
1990 - my first online mailing list) - and it's exhausting, a
lot of work, takes a lot of patience - and groups with many
thousands of active members can be nearly impossible to manage
to a precise caliber of operation. It's why I don't run big
public groups anymore. I have a couple of tiny, closed groups
that I let run themselves. The big ones are exhausting and
trusting other members with equal powers can lead to mutinous
situations. Here wasn't the 1st time I've seen it; I've had it
happen to me. == I ran a Minecraft server for 2 years from
2012-2014. Had 27,000 unique members, most not on at the same
time thankfully. Same ideas apply as they do with forum
administration: I'd tell people who wanted to be admins: Behave
like you feel an admin should behave, just without the powers.
That's how I'd consider them for administrative roles. Not once
or twice, but consistently over a long period of time. Or the
old rule of 9-5 work which still applies: Dress for the position
you want not the one you are. If you want management, you dress
like a manager, even if you're delivering the mail. ==
