Well done, Sannse. I think that this will answer many questions that people have, not to mention it will probably reduce the urge of asking for rights, because people will know where to go. I know I wanted to be on the VSTF for a long time up until just recently when I was told I didn't fit the description, hence you shouldn't ask for roles that are global, you should work hard and not think about rights. I know this may be awfully hypocritical to my previous actions, but you'll go a long way if you just let things flow your way, if it's meant to be. The VSTF membership page is indeed helpful, but what people should realize is that asking for that role, or any role in the matter, is contrary to the cause; Roles should all be earned, and a word of advice that I have to all the people who want rights is: 1. Don't ask for them 2. Be helpful to your community, that will go a long way.. be a passionate, caring person that is mature, don't be stubborn or anything like that 3. Don't be a sore winner; remember rights are a privilege that should not be for bragging or taking advantage of. 4. Remember that rights aren't important, and if you want rights it's best for you to be nominated or chosen, not nominate yourself, seeing that will only show you're eager and all that and that's not what communities, or vstf, or anything like that is looking for... be eager to help, but don't expect anything in return. This is not for me to patronize you guys, but this is just support for you guys. I've been in your places before, and I don't want my mistakes to happen to any of you. Good luck, and I hope everything I've said made a difference for you guys out there.
