That is what the forum is about. We are looking for long term contributors.
Also purged the deleted topics. Wasn't aware they are visible to the public.
Long term contributors =/= unpaid job
An unpaid job is doing free work because you don't have the experience or are in training like an internship, it sucks.
A contributor or volunteer is someone that gives part of their free time to help and develop a community or project they enjoy partaking in. They do it out of love.
Now I know this is purely semantics but there's a difference with us saying:
"The community needs X person doing Y job, its is unpaid, here are your responsibilities and expectations"
"The community needs help in X issue, we need a Y volunteer for this, you only need to put a couple of hours a week to contribute and these are the things you would be doing"
I don't make graphics for newshub because it's an unpaid job, I do out of enjoyment for doing and helping the community. I get some control of the decisions of my work because I'm the volunteer in charge of that. In a job you do as you are told.
And I don't know anyone who says "I have an unpaid job helping my community clean up", people say "I volunteer to help my community clean up", same action but clearly different connotations which people will perceive differently.
Also I appreciate you making sure the deleted posts aren't being seen. It made it look way cleaner.
Would you know who I can talk to start a solution/update to this part of the forum? Maybe Gieb is the correct person?
