Hey Matt, you still having fun? Congrats on moving to the new format, out of betaland! I like the chairman project, only thing I want changed is to allow the other two members of the board to be able and update the ibox.
By keeping the control of who is on the BOD in the chairman's hand, you'll still have a center of control, the chairman will still have final say. But I can tell you of a number of threads that I wouldn't mind getting on the BOD, just to update their ibox, but I don't want to be chairperson! Nor do I want to impose on someone the changes that need to be done... on the threads where I am on the BOD, and have told the chairman about adding something, they say 'go ahead and change it' but I can't, and have to explain it to them. It seems to me that most chairmans probably already think that the other 2 BOD members can update the ibox.
My suggestion would be to go ahead and make the change of allowing all three of the members being able to make changes to the ibox, unnannounced, and just see if it proves to be a negative in feed back. If the chairperson is comfortable enough to allow the chairpersons on the BOD, they are most likely fine with letting them do editing of the ibox.
The chairmail feature allows all three on the BOD to use it, have you run into any problems with that being the case there at all? I would think the ibox would be the same, an added cooperative project. The Chairman has the final say on who is on the BOD, so any problems are solved there.
Also, what's up with all the spammers! You need a timeout box, where someone who posts on 10-20 different threads in a row during the day goes, not to be let out until reviewed by the admin., and it they are spamming, delete them from that centralized area.
imho, Jerome
