Thanks, OxWall, and you, Dave !!!

I try to support the community with my work and I will continue to do so!

We are ALL very little people active on this forum bring the software forward not only one people. 

Why is dave better then me or why is Pratrica better then Obasi or Sumate.

Congratulations Parcilia ! 

If it was me they give this "leader" stamp i would say exactly the same i say now.

Still they think only little people need for push the software forward. thats why we never get forward because only some people get credits

Better they come in here and talk like normal people and give everyone a BIG thank you.

this my opinion....hate or like it ...up to you...

no i not jealouse .....i see this like a big group work that everyone bring something....not some leader work...that why i can not bee very happy for such system when there so many still do everything for help software move forward...wrong point out some people....very wrong

some question i ask my self when i see this leadership thing...

- why did they not support developers that want bring this software in to the future? why they did not take them in they hands? and promote them to much higher levels? I heard developers ask them several time to help fix bugs but they close door in face....oxwall could bee great....but you need take care of the free work yu get and not scare they will bee much better then you to build software. right now everyone need come from kyrgyztan for bee a team member and it have been so in 10 years. that is the problem. open doors to a new oxwall team instead of put some strange leader shirt on some people.

oxwall need two things:

1. all people come together and see everyone as leaders that active here and build things for the software move forward 

2. new mobile open source that support plugins in the store 

If you would like to say congrats then please do so, if you cant do just that then please remove your post all together and create a new post with your concerns. 

Every company or organization in the world  promotes workers or has some other kind of acknowlegement for those that go above and beyond, this is one of those cases and why she earned the new role.  Others can do the same, no one is stopping them, and they too will get recognized in turn.

but i feel not fair against many others that done awsome work here .....that is the different from you and me....we think never same!

That is okey, i can live with that!

I have the right leave my comment here same as you have...oh i forget you are the leader...sorry dave...not forget report to you other leader that is you duty ....

For me everyone is leaders in here....we are very strong that still stay here after they abondon the project over soon 4 years...it no time bring up a leader shirt

like or hate my comments...but i always speak from my heart directly

it would bee better they thank you everyone who stay here and build plugins and help people....that is much better

it was a low hit for they who have done same awsome work that pricilia have done....a hit in the face for this people...but i know they like me not care about this stamp...we are know we no need the stamp for prove we are better then anyone...

Happy new year!

Yes i hold myself to a higher degree not because of the role but because of the person i am.  I was that person before the role was ever given to me and i am the same person now.  And i only got this role because i went above and beyond, being here night and day, learning the software, helping others, and all of that to a degree that was above and beyond most others.  The key words being "above and beyond".  

It also  means that i have to maintain my professionalism even when some people try to cause drama and make statements that injure and offend others.  Being able to maintain my professionalism in those times is another reason i have that role.  Patricia also shares that ability to be professional.

anyways dave, keep u leaders shirts on i feel you deserve it, because the way you talking ....if someone give me one then please remove it. 

hope still this many awsome developers will stay...and we take this software to future with no leader shirts on :)

good night...

Read the official position from Oxwall Foundation here: http://devblog.oxwall.com/2011/06/community-leaders

It has nothing to do with someone being better or worse. If you see “Leader” badge on user’s avatar it means the user has been providing quality help for other Oxwall users on the forums for some time and we decided to acknowledge their expertise and dedication.

very simple and logical ...but if you want one star the latest 3-5 years then it is not my business. but i feel unfair system against they who try help and bring this software forward for many years. so i need forward my opinion ....if not like my opinion always free remove them...

I also agree that there are those that have helped others but some of those same people are also very abusive and argumentitive. No matter what is posted they seem to be out looking for a fight every chance they get.  Those are the people that wont get my recommendation because that sort of abrasiveness is just not good for the community, and it sets a bad example of what it takes to be a leader. Until they change thier ways.  

When i say that, i am not just talking about the role itself, i am talking about what it takes to be a leader in life, in business, in general.  And top of the list for a non leader is embarrassing the role you have, regardless if it comes with a colorful label or not. 

To me the colored label means more than just a role, its the person behind the role that is most important and what they represent.  There are traits that do not match the character of being a leader such as being a bully, personal attacks, being unprofessional.  And its those traits that i see in some people for which they wont ever get my recommendation regardless of how many people they help until they change their ways and treat people and the community with more respect and in a more professional manner. 

It is not seperation of the ranks that is Oxwalls intention of the acknowledgement. As i learned in the Army, roles and ranks help solidify the masses to have purpose, integrity, and a mission. Upward mobility is always earned not given. 

Also remember that Leaders have no special privileges above those of a normal user, we have no extra forum authority or permissions to that of a normal user.  So to say we think we are better is a reach at best.  

The only Oxwall provided benefit that we get is entailed in item 6 of the rules on this page.   https://developers.oxwall.com/forum-rules

We get no other benefit other than the request for respect, which we give back as well. 

I just feel that its mean and nasty for anyone to try to spoil someones acknowledgement post by hijacking it for their own complaints and purpose, to cause havok in a proposed positive moment.  To me its just down right petty. 

Finally to those that are aspiring to help others and be a role model, please continue to do so with or without any role.  For those that just complain it is important to look inside yourself and find better ways of conduct. 

Congratulations!
