Note on Sagedom

[DarthGohan1]

Recently, someone complained (is that the right word?) that they weren't a Sage here at TBT. I'd like to clear a few things up concerning Sagedom.

A lot of people would say TBT has too many Sages in the first place. I think we have 6 or 7, and there are probably only 15 regular non-staff/Sage members. That is a very high ratio.

Becoming a Sage should not be expected. It is only for people who dedicate lots of time to TBT, and do things for TBT. Unlike ranks, where one comes after another, Sage can not be expected to come after anything. It should be a gift, I guess, to receive the rank.

Just because you aren't a Sage doesn't mean you aren't a good member, let alone a great member. If every good member were a Sage here at TBT, we'd have over 20 sages probably.

Also, just because you aren't a Sage doesn't mean you aren't a major part of TBT's community. TBT wouldn't be what it is without the staff, Sages, or members! Take away any one group, and TBT goes down the drain.

What a toughing yet slightly untrue speech.
Not all sages are popular. I can name some right now. But I want this post to stay undeleted unlike some of my long posts.

PKMNRULES! Why the hell is he a sage, he hasn't been on for over a year.

Flummoxer He left

Mino He left

LINKERATOR96761 He left

XGT He sucks.

So really we have 4/5 sages. Depends on what you think of XGT. And there are about 82 "active" members here...

I agree on what both of you said, you become a sage becuase you where a HUGE part in the community, not just becuase you've been here for so long.

 

[Fabioisonfire]

I agree. But, why do people really care about being a Sage? I mean.. I've been here since 05', and I havn't asked for anything, because it doesn't really matter to me. 'What's in a name?' I just ask that to myself.

You're right, and wrong.

Right, because becoming a Sage shouldn't be expected, more or less a gift. Wrong on the same front because it is a responisbility. To stand for the good things on TBT, and lead by example.

Wrong again, because some of the regular members are not good members at all. Especially some of the members that actually don't deserve to even be here at TBT.

Wrong again, because being a Sage means you stand out, and are above the rest, and you did just that one ounce more to stand out, be different.

Right, however, that every person is important. TBT would be nothing without it's large community of regular members.

Anyway, that's my view of it.

Becomming a sage is a thing that doesn't get taken away here.

so what if they've "left", they're still honorable members of TBT.

About 10 members at Nsider were DeSaged


if you look at the Nsider's Sage board, some really old pages there are like blue names, and other colors. (some of the colors are special ranks, and they're still sages, Pit Army, Trivia Master, Trivia Underachiever those kinds of ranks)

Some of them were desaged for bad reasons, such as MPRUNTY, who complained because the NOAs banned an account called "IMASPAMMER."

Someone else went down with him, and a friend of mine nearly did too.
That was a stupid de-sageing.

No Bam, it's people that do what you do that truly suck in most of our books.

Really? Who? That really sucks... The NOAs want sucking up from their Sages, really... >_>

several sages have been desaged, but for the most that've left sagehood it was because they didn't want it anymore, several deactivated their accounts, one was deleted alltogether... there's alot of weird stories back there.
