Farewell HallsofIvy, Welcome Dalespam: Staff Changes at Homework Forum

[Greg Bernhardt]

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 Halls! You are an amazing mathematician.

Congrats to Dalespam! Welcome aboard!

 

[Drakkith]

Thanks for everything Ivy!

Congratulations to Dalespam!

Micro was always the math forum. Yay micro! Welcome aboard Dalespam!

Hope you will still have time to post Halls.

 

[micromass]

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*

Thanks for your efforts HallsofIvy !

Welcome DaleSpam !

BTW, why is HallsofIvy's name not listed in "Staff" : Homework helper or science advisor ?

He will be listed as a Science Advisor

 

[sankalpmittal]

He will be listed as a Science Advisor

He should be listed as both ,IMO.

Once more I congratulate HallsofIvy for his tremendous efforts here and welcome aboard Dale !

Retired staff are listed as SA, prior HH status has been removed from past mentors.

 

[StevieTNZ]

Congratulations!

And congratulations to micromass for finding a home, governing the MathS forums.

Perhaps Emeritus Mentor would be a more appropriate term?

 

[Borek]

They are Retired Staff.

[Dale]

Oh, I must have missed that. Thanks.

 

[Borek]

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.

[...]It's been a while since somebody cleaned it up.[...]

Hell, I'll help him!

Congratulations guys, and I'll still look forward to reading Halls posts as much as ever.

 

[HeLiXe]

Congrats Dalespam :)

They are Retired Staff.

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.

It should be "Mentor Emeritus".

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

It should be "Mentor Emeritus".

I wouldn't be opposed to changing it :)
