Regular Member aceguy Posted February 3 Regular Member Share Posted February 3 My suggestion would also be @A_4_Archan. He's a super helpful guy. Been chatting with him on and off for multiples times in trying to help me figure out the surgeon for my next procedure. He actually goes over and beyond to help people with nothing expected in return. Would definitely vote for him. Informed, and thorough. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member GeneralNorwood Posted February 3 Regular Member Share Posted February 3 (edited) I think @Gatsby is solid choice. He is experienced, mature and he is regular member. So what that everybody likes him? He will play the good cop and Melvin will play the bad cop 😁 But does Gatsby want it? Is it paid job?

Can you not see his heavy Eugenix and Bicer bias. I thought the same thing, that both Gatsby and Melvin are Eugenix patients (dr.Sethi). But if the critique of this clinic is allowed, i don't see big issue here. And my and your topic confirms that critique of Eugenix is welcomed 😉 2 1 My first Hair Transplant - Eugenix 3514 Grafts (720 grafts on the temples) - Dr Priyadarshini Das Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And vice versa, it will be hard for repair patients to relate to any moderator who has had a very easy journey compared to alot of ppl on here A pet peeve of mine is one and done community members who think they know everything just bc they got lucky I very much agree. Someone who has gone through the 'mill' brings a lot to the table. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted February 5 Author Administrators Share Posted February 5 Dear Community, I have been overwhelmed in a good way by all of the applicants and suggestions. We have solid candidates who have been instrumental in contributing quality posts and content. As a result, I think the best way forward is to have a panel of 'valued contributors.' This panel will have more privileges than the average senior member, like editing posts past seven days, etc. To keep this forum fair and balanced. I will counsel with our panel before making decisions. For example, removing a topic, banning a member, etc. I will be selecting at least four members for this panel, along with the moderator. I want to thank you all for participating and contributing to our forum. Our success is because of you 🙏 . 10 I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network.

Decisions like banning a member, closing or removing a topic can cause unecessary drama and hurt community. But sometimes such decisions has to be made. It is a question of appropriate measures for a particular case. Therefore i like the idea of creating this panel. I am not really interested with privileges or special rank, but if you would like my opinion in some burning cases, you can add me to this group. 3 My first Hair Transplant - Eugenix 3514 Grafts (720 grafts on the temples) - Dr Priyadarshini Das Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member GoliGoliGoli Posted February 6 Senior Member Share Posted February 6 I think GeneralNorwood would be a good addition to the tribal council. It's important to have someone in this group who had a not so positive experience with the HT industry so that this perspective is considered. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member donpizmeov Posted February 7 Regular Member Share Posted February 7 With all respect Melvin I dont really care WHO is administrators on this site. I think the question should be more of WHAT… Qualities.. Do you want to see in a Administrator? Knowledge is mentioned but what about being an effective communicator, being able to listen and have good problem solving skills? Having integrity… The list goes on, but I suppose that is where you wanna be headed when you select those interested. All the best 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the best I think @Stoner said it well: 1) Be impartial, just, and consistent in the standards he applies. Have personal integrity. 2) Have a sound judgment and the courage to exercise it. 3) Have a solid knowledge about HTs but also be open to reassess their priors in case of new developments, either regarding treatments or doctors. 4) Be kind, respectful and positive towards the forum members. Always keep in mind that the ultimate aim is to help people who are under significant stress about a problem they are facing, which in those people's view is usually severe and a key to their wellbeing.

Senior Member Z-- Posted February 9 Senior Member Share Posted February 9 I'd appreciate if we had someone with a more "pro-patient" perspective co-moderate or at least sit on the panel. I think way too many doctors -- including recommended doctors -- get away with mediocre results. Openly speaking, the reputation of this forum is... not the best at this time; a cursory look at Reddit, for example, will indicate that many users feel that doctors are overly protected here and it's a valid critique. I think someone who calls out sloppy work for what it is, but who also recognizes when a patient is being unfair (e.g., complaining 1 month in) is an ideal balance. I recommend @GeneralNorwood. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
