I believe it's a mixture off activity and attitude.I believe you are on agood track:)

Think of it as a customer service position, what would it take to be a good customer service rep. The way you interact with people, how you respond when it comes to though situations, some basic technical background can definitely help but can be aquired. Attitude is harder to polish than knowledge to aquire in my opinion

And off course the time you are willing to put in for the sake of community and the badges. Monetary compensation cannot be the motivation here as the time and effort will make you much more money someplace else. What I think is you must like it here and you must like putting up with us:) but I think you already know that.

It is by invite only by PM management. No offical public guideline that I know of....

Probably a combinatino of length of service (ie more than one year), number of solutions and bravos. Quality of participation is also important.

So, if you are able to maintain more than 1000 bravos per month for at least one year, you will eventually be offered an oracle position.

There's input from peers, like current oracles. I don't want to comment too much. I will say that I have seen some career limiting moves lately.

To the subject line: YOU don't become an Oracle. They appoint them.

The theoretical criteria have been amply covered.

I'm handsome, I smell of good soap.

I work out under bright lights in expensive sneakers.

My hair gleams of a thousand brush stokes and my smooth, supple legs soar straight to Heaven!

Do I qualify?

Also, it pays slightly less.

First of all, you need to delete apostrophes from places they don't belong, AND you need to quit telling people to log into your account!!! 😜 🤣

Should not be a problem. Only concern is when the organ between the ears is not used.

1000+ Bravo's over a year while an accomplishment I don't think will qualify someone. Quality over quantity I think is very important, as well as demeanour.

I was thinking that @Jb456 more than fits the criteria. Great solutions, been here over 2 years, bilingual, and hasn't got into it with any of the present oracles.

"... part tech wizard, part boy/girl scout, and part Jedi master ..."

Well, I have built my own astromech droid - https://astromech.net/forums - yeah, for real, seriously.

And I have bought cookies from girl scouts. The cookies were bland and chalky, yuck.

But that whole Jedi master thing ... well, y'see, I just don't think it's really gonna work out.

These cookies taste better!

@gblackma Oracle's have are ask d an opinion, but pm management makes the decisions on. Also you can agree or disagree with anyone in the community and in life, but I think much depends on how one handles the disagreement.

Is this capitulation or solace?
