I STILL WANT TO BE A DEBT SAMARITAN

Beauty, take it easy and don't get so uptight. Someone will let you know what is going on...

Don't force anything to happen, beauty. This shows a negative quality, maybe you will not fit for the role if I was to decide anyone for this role. I am sorry, didn't mean to offend.

Not happening when you write your post in CAPS. The keyboard is in your control, just by the press of a button.

I LIKE CAPS

IT DOESN'T MEAN I AM YELLING BUT I AM AT WORK SO MY COMPUTER STAYS ON CAPS

No offense!! It was just a difference in understanding. Never mind.

Peace

I believe getting a tag is not that important especially when one really means to help other. It can be done anyway, with or without a role.

I know I have good posts in my kittie, still I don't hold any designation. Maybe I need to improve to get that role and for this reason, I will continue to post till one finds my posts suitable.

I think you give great advice Flying Cats! :D

Thanks steelers! I have seen people in this website who hold their designations. I have not seen yet, they did something that doesn't suit to their role. It needs a lot of responsibility and maturity after you are into the shoes. And this site has been great in their choices for the roles that are made so far.

well thank you for your vote

Beauty - why is it important for you to be a Debt Samaritan? I really am not terribly concerned about the titles - while it would be an honor to receive one, I would consider it just that - an honor - not a status symbol. You can help people just the same whether you hold a title or not.

That is so true suebee---titles are just that--titles. True service to others or for others comes from the heart and does not need or want recognition. If it happens, then great. When I received the honor about 6 weeks after I joined, I was honored---did it make me feel any different---no. I still answer questions and post comments the way I always did.

Hey Beauty,
I echo Laurie. You don't need a title to give true service on the forums. It will come in due time, trust me.

Patience is a virtue my child. Calm thy desires and resist temptation, and thy Debt Gods shall bestow your honor when thine inner self they see fit.

Nope, the points are the same...It is just a recognition. :) But it feels nice to have the recognition. :)

Well, on a second thought, if someone wants to get recognition with the role, it may get intimidating also when showing the power, like it usually happens in offices.

that was kind of my thought, onelamb. I think aggressive title-seeking may be construed by some to be power-seeking.

I have the power right here in my office (which doubles as the diningroom---I am the manager, owner, employee, janitor, computer technician and only customer of this business. That business is ME!

I was a regular member for almost 5 months before I was asked to moderate. Give it time and it will come.

Yeah, Polly, I think I was a member at least 5 or 6 months, it does take time..Karen

Beauty, one question for you. Please let me know your thoughts.

Suppose, you are not given the Debt Samaritan role in the next announcement for some reasons, will you still continue to be on this board and help others like you are doing now?

What I mean is I will like to know your thoughts if you are not given the role this time and you have to wait for some more time to get the Debt Samaritan role, or maybe for a moderator also? Just curious..

See, I still hold no role on the board but I am still here.. :)

Beauty, please be patient. Being a Debt Samaritan is a huge honor. Your posts are very helpful and informative, but it takes time for this to happen. Why is this something you want so badly? I'm sure that there are others on this board who deserve it and want it as well...Please be patient, your turn will come.

There are different ways you can become a moderator..

You can ASK to be one....

But more often than that, Vikas and the guys behind the scenes receive recommendations by members..You can send a PM to them and say, "I think so and so would be a great Debt Sam...Or Moderator" They get the information and make a decision.

I was invited by someone a few weeks back, I didn't even know the title existed until I got the PM. Patience is the key word here I think

I'm new to all of this still. But, in my limited way, I'm here to help. Can someone tell me what the Debtcc Points are and what they do?

You earn some debtcc points every time when a post is done. You can redeem these points into cash. This is one of the community welfare program offered by this website. It's been really helpful especially to those fighting with debts.

The first redemption can be done after you have 1000 points in your account. It will be equal to $10. Send a request to Vikas or Mike after having the minimum points. Right now, I see you have 204 points. So, start posting and interact with the community.

Keep in touch with us. You will learn many new things and have fun here.

my oh my, how far things have come, we now have people anxious to become DS's Mods and the like.. I think that is a good sign... remember this beauty and all who hold and/or seek a role... the title does not make the person... the person makes the title....

happy holidays

JJ, where have you been? You went completely off. Busy?? :)

Thanks JJ, well put! I've missed seeing you around!..KAren :D

Excellent JJ! Couldn't have put it better.

I'm already having fun. The Debtcc points were a pleasant surprise, but being able to help is a much bigger incentive.

i thank you all for helping me yesterday
