    Dedicated Benches on probation

    I noticed the Dedicated Benches group only  has two members let alone officers.

    The Open Enrollment is closed, too.

    Anybody feel like saving this category, or should it fade away?

    There's are other members that need to be upgraded to officers. I wish there was a email sent to you when you go on probation. Sometimes I got a bench of people quitting several groups, and I have to check groups one by one to see if everything is ok.

    i just said the same thing to SQ about active quarries....

    doesnt that seem like something a notification system should be in place for.....

    yea, might be several other too....almost as if ny9bk has left a few groups high/dry. ive seen him leave 10+ in the last few days....

    also, id think the system wouldnt let you leave if you were going to cause probation....let a replacement be found first...

    What happens if a category can't find a third officer?

    i believe the term is 'locked'.

    no more new waymarks accepted.

    what was the time frame for probation? several weeks?

     The banner says the category is on probation and that all waymarks will be autoapproved.  They were going to check to see if that was actually the case, or if the wording on this just hadn't been changed, but I haven't heard if that has been determined yet.  I think everyone agrees that autoapprove is just a bad idea.

    I don't know if there is a time limit on the probation, or what.  Probably just an indefinite status.  Even if there are regular members, if they are not promoted to officer, then it doesn't matter. 

    Maybe if a category falls below three officers, then the next regular member should be automatically promoted and if it is set with open enrollment off it should automatically be reset to on.  That'd take a little programming, though.

    In any case, this is just another piece that needs to be fixed in the larger non-funcitiong category issue that we are assured will be addressed by Groundpeak - in the near future, we hope.
