<h3>Problem/Motivation</h3>
<p>There have been many vigorous discussions in the LA Drupal Users Group of late, stemming from the way OG admins are listed on g.d.o. The term "Group organizers" does not fit the function of the people listed. The word "organizer" implies that the people listed are organizing the group's activities, but that is not necessarily the case. For instance, there are many people organizing monthly Drupal events throughout Los Angeles, but that has no relation to managing the g.d.o. group. A far more appropriate term would be "Group moderators". That accurately describes the function of the people in that role, without implying any additional responsibilities they may or may not have to the group at large.</p>
<p>Furthermore, many within our group are interested in getting rid of that block all together. Even with the change in title, having the block could imply a leadership role that does not exist, or which is not held by the listed moderators. If the block were removed, users with questions would be encouraged to post them to the entire group, or to use the contact forms for individual event organizers, either of which would be more appropriate. </p>
<p>The current "Group organizers" block creates both user experience issues for members of the community and organizational issues for managers of the group. While this may be a bigger problem for the Los Angeles group than others, we believe there are many groups on g.d.o. who could benefit from the proposed features.</p>
<h3>Proposed resolution</h3>
<p>First, make the display of the group admin block optional for each group. Give admins a checkbox they can use to enable or disable the block within their group.</p>
<p>Second, make the title of the group admin block configurable for each group. We want to call ours "Group moderators. Others may want to go back to the old "Group leaders" title. Others may want to call their admins "Grand Diplomats". Who knows? You'll never pick one title that will work for everybody, so instead, let everybody determine their own. I would recommend "Group moderators" as a more sane default than "Group organizers", but I'm not that picky. </p>
<p>Finally, the intro text within the block will also need to be configurable, or removed all together, since it currently restates the title of the block ("Organizers for this group"). Having configurable text would be great, as a first choice, but I'm also fine with getting rid of it. As it currently stands, the text is completely useless. There is little difference between "Group organizers" and "Organizers for this group". One or the other would do.</p>
