As my Daddy used to say.
"Just because that's the way you've always done it, doesn't necessarily mean that it's the easiest and/or best way to do it."
I'm just suggesting that the greeters are not consistent, some post, others don't. The idea was to have something consistent that all, including new recruits, can use easily. I do not have a fixed time slot. I find it much easier to "Float around" and pick up the open slots as it fits my day. With the new system I confirm, thank contributors and go on with my merging, sourcing etc. Maybe I am a bit lax, but I pay no attention to the time and half the time my email is turned off.
You sign in, post a note, and send an email. Wouldn't it be quicker to Sign in and push the "Flag" button??
It was just a thought.
