If one is to choose to volunteer and commit to a project, then the volunteer should attempt to do a good job. Saying that "there is no obligation" is simply a way of saying "I will do it the way I like it", this is unacceptable.

To put it another way, if one was to volunteer for a project, then he has effectively put himself into an obligation to perform said project. If someone volunteered to moderate the forums, and then not do it, then he has not performed his obligation (that he has said he would do it). Obligation - "the act of binding oneself by a promise, contract." - dictionary.com

Just because help is offered freely does not imply there is no obligation.


I have given my personal opinion. Whether my opinions are taken into consideration for the future of EE is out of my hands.
