+RakeInTheCache Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 The group which manages the Megalithic Monuments category is lead by The Royles which appears to be inactive in Waymarking for quite some time. I'm very interested in this category which is why I would like to take over leadership. I sent an e-mail via geocaching.com to The Royles and got no reply. I also sent one to Waywizard to request leadership of this category without a reply. I just sent of a note to checkmark. Anyone have any advice on how I might proceed? Thanks, RitC.

+NW_history_buff Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 You are doing everything right. I've taken over as leader of a few categories in the past year because of inactive officers. I would assume that you will be in contact by one of the Groundspeak administrators. Just be patient and and I'm sure you'll be selected as leader soon. Quote Link to comment
+RakeInTheCache Posted May 22, 2016 Author Share Posted May 22, 2016 Still no response from Groundspeak ... Quote Link to comment
+RakeInTheCache Posted May 24, 2016 Author Share Posted May 24, 2016 Thanks for the good will. The problem is that there is only one active officer besides me. And isn't it only the leader who can promote new officers? Quote Link to comment
+RakeInTheCache Posted May 24, 2016 Author Share Posted May 24, 2016 The problem is that there is only one active officer besides me. And isn't it only the leader who can promote new officers? I'm sure every officer can promote new officers. But then there will be a vote where you need 66% yea again. So this will not help in your case. But there are two other officers in your group, that have been logged in not long ago. Maybe you can reactivate them and the one who has logged in last December to get the absent leader off or to promote other officers. Yes, it could be possible but in my experience, only the really active members in Waymarking will reply to an e-mail, and even that is not certain!!! There must be an easier way. I will try and present my results here. Quote Link to comment
+RakeInTheCache Posted May 25, 2016 Author Share Posted May 25, 2016 Ok, so now that Tante.Hossi has become an officer, if we vote successfully to demote "The Royles", who then becomes the leader? All officers have the same rank and next in the line is wilsonjw who has not replied to my e-mails. He might not want to become leader. Quote Link to comment
