I can't think of a fairer way to do it, but happy to stand corrected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't think of a fairer way to do it, but happy to stand corrected. I think the easiest way is to establish a starting group and work your way down. That's why we discussed looking at the spreadsheet before we 'lock' it. There are a few inactive posters on there etc. E.g. If @Big durbs was helping group A, and had success he'd move to B. If someone else started at say group E, they'd move to F etc. but I would expect groups to be actively looking for help too? I know that I've got a few offers of help which I'm eternally grateful for no matter what.

If someone was a noob when they got on the spreadsheet, I don't think forming bonds can be relied upon, especially if they've not been active much since. Call me a cynic, but it's over a grand.

The spreadsheet enables help to be forthcoming and given to others but its also about people using a modicum of common sense too ... if you hover over a users profile you can see when they were last online and you can also see the number of posts they have made too ... theres also the pm and use of other methods too ...

He doesn’t seam to have a group ? Is that because he is a two and looking to hook up another two ? ( btw he lives about a mile from me , small world eh ) He is 'green' - yes? He was taken out of his group as he was successful in the volunteering but I've kept him on there as an icon of good fortune.😀 And I was just using you as an example as I know you frequent this thread!

DareToDibble Posted February 12, 2020 Report Share Posted February 12, 2020 Yeah I suggested this a week or 2 back. Without wanting to make extra work for @vintagelaureate. May be handy to see who is helping who. I think a lot of people have already agreed to help certain members but I’d be happy to be assigned a second group to try for if we manage to get VL and @Charm tickets from my first group. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
