I am pleased to welcome "hororgasm" as Moderator-at-Large or PuristS Community Ambassador.(CommAmb). He is based in Singapore. Hororgasm has been a long time lurker but over the years has increased his activity on-line.
I will let him introduce his horology life story but meanwhile, please welcome his appointment that completes the last round of Community Ambassador appointments including Oliver 'small-luxury-world' in EU and MichaelC in USA.
They join Tony Rinella aka TonyR in NYC. Former CommAmb have also become full moderators e.g. Ken Hokugo and Alec Yin.
In the past, the community was small and could be reached in-person by one or two wandering PuristS weekly or monthly. Some of those people have stopped travelling and the range of fora has grown too much to maintain personal contact with a few travelling moderators.
The main responsibility of the CommAmb role is to reach out to the community in their region to increase participation numbers and community spirit.
The secondary responsibility of the Moderator-at-Large role is to add extra human resources across the 3 regional time zones to act as Host, Marshal and Guru across the fora; gaining experience to take over as full moderators when opportunity arise.
Regards,
MTF
