There is no such thing as an official Gentoo reply. You can have replies from Gentoo developers, but no Gentoo reply.

I think this is not planned at the moment.

Right, a global moderator or admin would give an "official" answer
while non-staff local moderator wouldn't. However, those moderators
are still kind-of-official like the AT as discussed earlier.
Mainly i think the issue of moderators giving official support
is not that important as a moderator's primary duty is to keep the
forums running, take care of misplaced posts etc.
If i don't reply to a post with something different than "Moved from..."
or "Please don't do..." (which represents an official act), i usually
answer questions about topics i have knowledge on. I sometimes also
answer to threads just asking some generic questions ("what's your
setup in detail", etc) to make it more likely to get support for this
user by some other poster because i don't have the slightest clue
about the software problem and/or architecture. Sometimes i find a bug
report on b.g.o and point the user to it.
Imo, these are posts that could be made by any other experienced user -
irrelevant if he's moderator, developer or user. Developers also
sometimes answer threads that are outside their work area, i'm not
sure how official this support is regarded.
Hope this clears things up and everyone is fine with that.
cheers,
Wernfried

Re: [gentoo-dev] GLEP 38 round two
Hi all, Just a question, will there be a different group for moderators that belong to staff and moderators which doesn't belong? I'm asking this because users may relate different groups meaning official gentoo replies from gentoo staff and not official from other moderators, giving the idea of valid technical support from the gentoo staff moderators.

[gentoo-dev] GLEP 38 round two
Hi, After the discussion today about the forums GLEP [1], we've made some changes: All the current global moderators and admins who aren't already developers/staff will take the staff quiz. Old moderators (those with Bodhisattva status) will be considered in the same way that retired devs are and will have to take the staff quiz if they return to moderation duties. Moderators of international forums can optionally take the staff quiz if they want to. Please reload and re-read the updated GLEP. Comments/suggestions welcome. tomk [1] http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/glep/glep-0038.html -- Tom Knight [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG Public Key: http://dev.gentoo.org/~tomk/tomk.asc pgpmZEiYF03Hs.pgp Description: PGP signature
