It's definately frustrating to submit to a category and know up front that your mark is going to sit there indefinately. If your a "grid" player it's got to be even more maddening. Surely there is a way for the powers that be to allow users to select a group co-leader and promote them for the purpose of adding active members, editing, etc. I wouldn't advocate just booting someone out as leader, but perhaps adding a "mentor" as co-leader, promoting active officers and then letting the group of active members make that decision. I like the idea that the basis of Waymarking structure is to be user led and user managed. I can also see this "priviledge" having the potential of being abused, I think the chances are greatly reduced in a community of like minded people, but it's there never the less. Perhaps some guidelines on "absenteeism" before a mentor could be put in place. If GS.com was able to put this in place within the site, active members could take over the management of the process and create a forum to discuss the issues and decisions beforehand and recruit new blood. There are some great categories out there that are going to be lost unless this is resolved, and I'm sure we lose new waymarkers who end up only submitting to one of the abandoned categories and no others. When I first started waymarking I ended up in one of "those" categories, but also in a few where I got quick approvals and positive comments. Those members are the reason I'm still waymarking. If not for them I would have thought, "why bother" and probably given up pretty quickly. TBT already has a category support group in place..."Hello My name is Marbill and I am a waymarking junkie"...LOL! Maybe with help from GS we could build on that...
