Announcement: Page management limits no longer tied to Belt Level?

I think this is a good idea from Mahalo's perspective. I have to admit, I am one who hasn't done enough to my managed pages yet. I have grand plans for all of them, I just haven't reserved the block of time to do it yet.

There seemed to be more incentive to go out and get points/belts than to actually do the page editing. Now the focus is on editing pages. That being said, I think a few new features should be added that go along well with this scenario.

Since you are monitoring the quality of the management, how about allowing more control of the pages to those who do a good job? For starters, simple things like editing the label for the page, setting the guide notes to the right side, etc. And perhaps if the page is really being managed well, the manager could be allowed to manage to some extent what ads are placed on the page? It could get messy, but maybe even a higher ad revenue percentage for well managed pages?

It might also be nice to add some new management tools like a button for requesting redirect links. At any rate, big updates to my pages by the end of the weekend!(Now off to my "real" job so I will have time to do that).

Hmm, this doesn't seem very practical. Now someone has to monitor thousands of users constantly requesting page limit increases? Well I guess we will see how it goes.

You mention if we currently have more than 2, they will not be taken away. Does this mean we stay at are current level. Example, say someone has 10 pages right now.

If they abandon 2, can they claim 2 others, or will they be then stuck with only 8 pages?

It only ends up being 12 for black belts and could relieve some stress from the people who are in charge of reviewing accounts.

Thanks; I finally saw this after posting a question about it. It's probably a good idea, but perhaps a little more notice might be good--although maybe you didn't want people to try and grab their maximum before setting the limit.

This is a silly idea which addresses a nonexistent problem. The real problem is that you have countless pages which could be addressed and relatively few people with very little motivation to manage them. The imagined profits only relate to a handful of pages about spam-like subjects (how to make money etc).

The countless scholarly and special interest pages will never earn anything. People should be encouraged to find their own reasons for making and updating pages, and should be encouraged to try as many and as often as their fancy strikes.

I have 4 pages right now (I think) and I WILL want more. I have only been a member since Friday, but you can see I have been EXTREMELY active. What would happen?

This seems reasonable I think the belt levels in some cases granted too many pages per level. Now this is going to lead to more quality pages but is also going to lead to less pages managed per person which will go against some of the sites original goals of high manager earnings. It would be nice to have a status indicator for the increase request.

For example tells when the request has been submitted, turned down, increased, etc. That just seems logical considering all the comments floating around about it not working. Not to mention it's frustrating from a user standpoint to not have some kind of status indicator or notification. Also, I really think that the default level should be set to at least the same number for the pages someone already manages.

There is going to be some confusion when someone goes to drop page management to pickup another page only to find that it will not work. This will be especially confusing for those who have not read this discussion.

It seems like this would be a natural second step. Lower the limit, then reclaim the pages beyond limit that aren't regularly updated. Also, have you considered giving users a way to make money by updating pages that they don't manage?

I think this is a great idea. How will Mahalo decide how many pages are appropriate?

I clicked too. Nothing happened. May be it will take time to process the request.

I'm not sure how the pages are evaluated. Will it be done by a program or by a person actually reading for content? If our request for more pages is rejected will we get a written response as to why?

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
