HRWiki talk:Why create an account?

Sysop Part of this Page

Ok, I just removed a part of this page outlining that only registered users can get sysop statis, but it was reverted and put back, with no explination why it's a good idea, I deleted it because it was somewhat misleading, making it seem like staff promotion was some kind of a gift given to new members, which is just stupid, if anyone actually read this page, it would seem like they should get it, simply because they are new, so, maybe it's just the negative attitude to removing large amounts of info without consulting the talk page, but why exactly should that part stay, it's already on the FAQ anyway. --~ SlipStream 12:14, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

I think it's saying that if you don't make an account, you'll never a be sysop. —Shwoo 13:00, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Would it make any sense to expect to gain sysop priveleges as an IP user? I agree, the "Sysop Status" topic isn't a good fit for the page. The TOC otherwise reads as a list of benefits of membership. This makes it seem as if "sysop status" is also a benefit. I think it ought to be removed. - Qermaq - (^T/C)  13:57, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

I agree with slippy and qermy, and would add that i'm surprised that loafing didn't give a reason for the revert. — Defender1031*Talk 14:09, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

I'm in agreement here too... we've already got a list of becoming-sysop-related stuff which is more than adequate... and I don't think the prospect sysophood should offered as an incentive for creating an account... there's already enough legitimate reasons on the page, without it. --phlip ^T_C 14:13, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

I agree on all accounts. Although I'm not surprised I didn't give a reason for my revert; I've been rather sloppy lately :-/ Loafing 00:58, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

If that's the case, why did you revert in the first place? — Defender1031*Talk 10:29, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

I removed it simply because the reason slippy gave was not true the way he said it [1]. I should have taken a bit more time and realized that the section was indeed somewhat out of place. Loafing 11:32, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Best Freelance site for Telecom Engineers

The freelance Field Engineer platform allows businesses to connect with Telecom & IT Field Engineers from around the world and cooperate on various projects. The web-based application lets engineers advertise their skills, promote their credentials and search for freelance gigs, but unlike other services, it also allows them to submit bids, negotiate employment terms and receive payment. Companies in search of talent can fund accounts to manage their field engineering staff budgets, oversee job progress in real time and perfect the way they evaluate and hire background-cleared bidders.

The Emerging Startup Special Mention placed Fieldengineer.com in good company with multinational technology giants, such as Huawei and PCCW Global. The awards drew highly regarded international visitors and speakers who represented their companies and shared novel ideas that are sure to shape the way telecom technology practices evolve for years to come. FieldEngineer.com CEO and founder, Malik Zakaria, was also in attendance, and he delivered a well-received presentation that shed light on how enterprises could continue overcoming the hurdles associated with providing services in a world of rapid internet expansion and B2B workforce growth.

The new white paper from the analyst team at Light Reading has drawn a comparison between Field Engineer’s approaching Network Maintaining, and the burgeoning shared or gig economy. The team has highlighted the way that some of the most shared economy platforms serve to be a bridge between the supply and demand side of a particular marketplace. These app-based platforms successfully match people looking for a service with multiple potential suppliers of that service. The apps do more than provide the names – they are full of the required relevant detail as well as posted by previous buyers of the service.In fact, the most rewarding of these shared economy apps remove any need for a ‘buyer beware’ style warning. The app makes it obvious what the service will be, how much it cost, who will deliver it, their qualifications to provide it and their track record of having done so successfully.
