We announcing the retirement of HallsofIvy as mentor. Halls has been with us for 9 great years! Very few can match his level of dedication in the homework forums. He has given countless hours with students! For that we thank him and hope he continues to give that support which so many students appreciate!

With that there will be a little moderator shuffle with Micromass finding a home in the Mathematics forums.

To replenish our strength, Dalespam will be joining the Mentor group! The community is no stranger to his quality with him being awarded a Physics award. Welcome Dalespam!

Thanks a lot, Halls! Your contributions on the math forums are outstanding! I hope you will continue contributing!

And welcome, Dalespam! Now, I think that the sauna in the mentors forum is really getting dirty. It's been a while since somebody cleaned it up. *Hands Dalespam a toothbrush and soap*

Perhaps Emeritus Mentor would be a more appropriate term?

Is the mentor distribution visible somewhere?
 
  • #22
Oh, I must have missed that. Thanks.
 
  • #23
Note that Mentors can moderate every forum - so while we do specialize, in obvious cases (like spam or insults) it is on a "first to spot, first to ban" basis.

Oh, what a boring, inadequate term that is, totally failing to recognize their contributions. It sounds like an old bull has been put out to pasture. :yuck:

It should be "Mentor Emeritus". :approve:

I wouldn't be opposed to changing it :)

I like the idea.

FYI
In the United States, the word is used either as a postpositional adjective (e.g., "professor emeritus"), or as a prepositional adjective (e.g., "emeritus professor"). There is a third usage, although not employed as often, in which the word follows a full title (e.g., professor of medicine, emeritus.)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emeritus

Then there's this.

MIH would need to be a Mentor Emerita.

Thanks for the service Halls and DaleSpam!
