You know and no offense to anyone simply because they are young, but it really makes me question my sanity in engaging in such when I read that the people who dictate how I am suppose to behave aren't old enough to vote yet.
Btw anyone want to give me a list of places where a sizable percentage of the staff don't need to shave yet I would appreciate it so I won't feel so bad if I ever decide to stop using them.
Hopefully the list doesn't boil down to a simple "all" in which case I have some real soul searching to do.
Respect my lack of authority.
It's really on a case by case basis, bu at the same time, age (aside from the extreme cases where admins are like... 14) isn't necessarily the only factor. I've seen high schoolers make great moderators and middle aged men act like childish dictators.
Age doesn't determine idiocy, idiocy determines idiocy. And there's plenty of that to go around in the BT world.
I think it was you that said on another thread "who on earth would want to be staff on a torrent site" answer is those that have plenty of time on their hands = teenagers basically.
The owners may not be teenagers, but we get staff from the memberbase, and those that put a lot of time into the site, which in turn means we get younger members being staff, its just the way it works and not a lot any of us can do about it really.
But saying that, i dont think we have any teenagers as staff on BCG (but if you asked me the ages of my staff I wouldnt have a clue lol), maybe we are just good at seeing through it, we did have one but he hasnt been on the site for 6 months, so he isnt staff anymore.
and what ca_aok said as well.

I wasn't talking about effectiveness or "maturity " but that rather it's just disconcerting to be overseen by anyone so young .
You haven't reached that age yet but imagine if you will, getting a job at Walmart ( probably in your case a prophetic example ) and finding out that the kid you babysat is now your boss. Humble pie much.
And Stoi you of elephantine memory , I was in that case ("who would want to be staff") in my convoluted, facetious and largely undecipherable way, actually giving props to anyone willing to tackle what is a necessary but mostly unappreciated job.

Wow....who needs these trackers when you have What and waffles...
This is at least the third or fourth time the site has folded..
Is the site down?
