Then they could make a short update to keep users in the loop.

There's been like almost no communication abt this

Admin doesn't really know anything more than you do unfortunately 😭 we're waiting for decode to take a look at it

Is decode doing this like as a side hustle or is vp not paying him or what is the situation?

Not trying to be rude I just wondered this ever since decode showed up.

I think they're a volunteer !

Then the delay is understandable but I still think etjen should hire paid tech support for cases like this lag.

More transparency in general would be nice like some more background info about the people working behind the scenes on vp, especially when it's someone who works with the code and has access to sensitive user information.

I'm happy to answer any questions you might have about who I am, but I also understand that not everyone will feel comfortable with sharing details about themselves and everyones privacy should be respected. I hope you can trust that we won't let anyone have access to sensitive information without interviews and some vetting.

I'm not talking about stuff that is super private but I think an introduction like:
'Hello, you can call me XX, I was hired/ volunteered (which one is it btw?) to work on these specific things: XXX. I have a background in XXX/ a degree in XX/ worked on XXX for several years, ... which makes me qualified for the task at hand. Here is a rough timeline for the things we planned/ when you can expect which changes, there will be an update each week, biweekly/ each month, ... whatever

would have been nice, yk.

Well, as I said, you can ask me anything.

I'm Tess, and I was hired as an Admin on EN after being Admin on NL for approx. 1,5 years and a moderator before that for 4,5 years, all of which has taught me a lot about the website and how to handle certain situations. It was a big change from NL to EN, since this community is bigger and has a different 'vibe', because there's a lot of different nationalities and cultures on here.

At the moment, we don't have a timeline, but Decode does have a thread that lists things that are being worked on and which things take priority, for example. Since this isn't a fulltime job for anyone (Admins, developers, owner, etc.) we have to work on the website in our downtime, so we can't do very frequent updates, especially big ones. We do have an update thread, though, where Arthema and I update everyone on what has happened and what's next. (although for April I haven't written anything yet, I'm very sorry, I have been very busy and other things have taken priority).

Thank you for the transparency but I was mostly wondering about Decode since they (?)apparently come from outside the community. Are you at liberty to say weather they were hired by Etjen or how Decodes involvement in vp came to be and if they get paid?

Decode was introduced to Etjen by a mutual contact, after which Etjen held an interview (to ask about experience, for example) which led to Decode becoming part of the VP-team. The Admins from all servers are in close contact with eachother AND Decode (and Etjen, if needed) and I for one have full faith in their ability and future plans.

This is all I'm willing to share about the subject without having talked with Decode or Etjen about it. You can always ask/tag Decode and ask more questions, but they have no obligation to answer them, ofcourse. ^^
