Slayer, you're post would be a lot to quote, so I'm not going to quote it.
What i think of when i hear "Community Manager" is a person who has a large say for changes and ideas that the community has, and organizer of community projects and events.
When it comes to ideas and changes to the game that come directly from the community, Hande is either directly involved or indirectly involved. Hande has top say(With Hypers approval, or maybe even without, seeing as Hyper most defiantly trusts Hande with control of the mod) for most things that go into the game that come from us, the community. When i say Hande is indirectly involved i mean that power runs down a chain of command, from the community manager to devs, and then to admins.
Feature Requests: From what i can see, Hyper or Hande have at least one post in every topic that has a decent idea. The way i see it, theres no need to talk about something if it will never happen, and they follow that same idea. If it does nothing but start a fight or waste time; remove it. If it has a chance, or a hint of bettering the mod and community I see no reason for them not to hear you out, and that is what i believe there individual posts are saying; that we understand and would like to hear more on this.
Models and Textures: When i look on that sub-topic i see Senni. I see Senni with a large opinion and influence on this sub-topic. I would like to believe that Senni has much more experience with models then Hande does, and for that reason Hande does not post there often.
In the end, all the models still come from the community and have to go through Hande or Hyper before they are put into the game( unless Senni lets one slip in, like the aurora blade).
Maps: Yuri, Hande, and Benschie on the side. Hande has a large say on anything that happens to maps. for god sake, he makes some of the maps.
Official Events: Though Yuri runs them, Hande still attends from time to time. You cant expect someone to change there hole life just to make it to every event can you? So if Hande miss's a event, i would say it was work, busy, or he had something better to do with his time, even if thats watching TV(hes not required to play all the time, and whenever he has free time).
I believe all the things Hande does allows him the tittle of community manger.
Maybe I'm on the wrong subject here? Is this really only about the definition of the tittle? well, then what if we were to change Handes tittle to Community developer. It makes since seeing how he plays a hand(get it) in most things that the community does or submits to the devs. With that, we could give another person the position of Community Manager, someone who can be trusted by most of the community to submit ideas that are well thought out and understandable and pass it onto the devs to have a look over with more inventive eye's toward the details. This person would most likely need to be a admin to avoid any problems of abuse, but there has to be at least one admin we all can trust not to abuse the rights given to him.
How would we select this new community manager? It would be chosen by 3 Devs and 3 non-dev players. How would we select these non-dev players? By going to the three largest and most active house at the time. The houses will select a Representative and they will all cast a vote on who to give the tittle. This would be repeated every 4 months or new quarter. Of course this is just a idea, but it could have some success if we put aside our petty differences.
Aging with this post, I'm not trying to offend anyone. I only want to state my opinion and ideas, and i open up to anyone else who would like to respectfully debate with me. (by respectfully i mean not breaking down ever sentience and looking at the hole picture).
