What's a Community Ambassador?
A Community Ambassador (or "CA") is a special type of community member that is tasked with a few responsibilities, including advising staff on public opinion and having input on decisions that affect the community. Most importantly, however, this person will collect community feedback and relay that to the staff team anonymously, so as to eliminate all elements of bias towards the person giving the feedback.
There are two CAs at any given time; one appointed by the staff team and one elected by the community. The current CAs are:
- Elected: @Stunt
- Appointed: @Camer the Dragon
FAQs
Do CAs have any moderating power?
No. CAs can't moderate or view any privileged information that moderators can (e.g., user information, threads in Contact a Mod, etc.).
How long is a CA's term?
The length of a CA's term is six months. Elections are held over the course of a month twice per year (January/July) to elect the new CA, with the winner taking office on the first of the next month (February/August).
Who is eligible to run for CA?
Anyone who has "Member" status on JV is eligible to run (more information); however, there may be additional guidelines announced when the election starts.
Are there term limits?
CAs may serve a maximum of two consecutive terms in the same CA position. After those two terms, the CA must vacate their position until one term has passed, at which point they can be re-appointed or re-elected to the same position. Alternatively, they can hold the other CA position immediately if appointed/elected to it.
