Interesting topic...have some thoughts.

Have never heard of a Board Operator, just a Board Owner (how would one tell the dif? same abbrev.)

Don't know how to say this diplomatically....but no baker thinks of himself as "managed" by a BO. And I doubt any note-taker thinks of himself as "managed" by a baker--I sure never try to manage anybody on any board. Even the shills won't put up with it!!

Also, you must know that bakers usually manage the dough, not BOs. That was true on QR until rogue BO seized power; it's why some of us migrated to QRB and remain there to this day (when it's up, LOL).
As a QRB baker, I do a lot of dough mgmt; BO 8bit does nothing with the dough. Bakers are in charge, kek. He backs off even moar than he needs to, bc he's trying to support bakers after we got annihilated on QR. Bakers on QRB are FANTASTIC. Mostly new, really great people. They are sorely missed.

Now you started this board and do a lot of work on it. If you want to be the only one to work with the dough, I as a baker don't really care, happy to collect notes and bake. But if you want to work with the dough mainly bc you are concerned that bakers--or anyone--will fuck with it, that outlook will come to bite you in the ass PDQ, bc nothing can be done in the absence of trust.

This is a cooperative venture, not a hierarchical structure. We are all volunteers here and have many, many talents. Micro-mgmt will never work, especially with this crew.

Do you realize how valuable is the input you get from all of us? You have never been a BO before you said. Well, that means you can use all the input you can get, right? Especially if this board grows. Stuff that works when there are 25 anons here and a very small audience may not work when the board has hundreds or more.

You've done thing "your way" here, departed from some things done on QR. But how much did you think that thru?
I just sent you a post, after realizing the big disadvantage of not putting the notes in the dough. Very good learning experience for me--now i know why the ones who setup QResearch used a somewhat moar complex structure. Because notes are much moar fluid, mistakes can be undone pretty easily for awhile. Based on that idea, i would probably recommend "reverting" to the approach set up by QR bakers two years ago. Tried and true, works well.
