Hey Community,
We have some exciting news to share with you all! 🎉
As some of you may know, the Public Mobile team has been working hard to rebrand our Moderator Team. We want to thank you for your feedback, in the Moderator Term Change Survey - the results are in…
Starting August 5, 2021, Customer Support Agent (CSA) will replace the title “Moderator” across the Public Mobile. To private message an agent, search for CS_Agent in the ‘Send to’ box. For more information on how to contact an agent, click here.
Please note the re-branding of our moderator team > Customer Support Agent is limited to only the title, all roles and responsibilities will remain the same.
Our goal was to transform their title into one that compliments all the support they provide to our customers day in and day out. Our agents are your direct line of contact when you submit a ticket. Hopefully, with this title change, we’ll also reduce some of the confusion around how support works at Public.
We appreciate all your feedback and support on this meaningful initiative. Our team looks forward to the continued support of our beloved Community. Stay tuned for more to come! 🙂
Thank you.
- Public Mobile Team

@bobbysoulcity : Some voucher vendors seem to have a delay for the voucher to become valid. Did you try in the 611 service? Are you sure you're using the 12 digit PIN# and not any other 12 digit set on the voucher?
I don't know what $5 credit you're talking about.
08-06-2021 03:20 PM
I was told you may be able to offer a $5.00 credit so that I can purchase your $50.00 plan. I also have a $5.00 credit and just purchased a $40 voucher.
As you can see in the past I have had many problems including no service up to two days after applying my purchased voucher.
With no customer support in the end. Please help? So I can submit this new voucher and resume my new plan and service

@J_PM - I think the new name Customer Support Agent will be helpful for all the newbies, and it makes much more sense than the name Moderator. Thanks!

Congratulations Pm on catching up with most other company's and calling your CSRs , CSAs as opposed to moderators ..should save confusion for those new customers coming here with questions ... Do the old timers here really need the constant "(formerly moderators)" caption to get over the hump ?

It will be my alter ego in the bizarro world's community!
08-05-2021 10:20 PM
But......please don't adopt it. For the real meaning of the word implies that "you have something to say, when yo have nothing to say" Not you!!

@darlicious you don't want to be a Modarliciator instead?
08-05-2021 09:31 PM
Well now that you mention it, what about: Supercalifragilisticexpialidarlicious!!

Lol....best call me oraclicious! 😅😂🤣🤣🤣

Just weighing in on this belatedly. Actually, a Moderator is most frequently used to describe someone handling a meeting (read Chairperson); whereas, an Oracle is a person who can tell what will happen in the future; which for my money is pretty close to what is supposed to happen if the person posting the query follows the Oracle's advice.

One step forward, two steps back....the good, the bad and the ugly at PM.

I think that would be a good idea.
agreed, which is why I was asking 'please don't do this".
CSA, CSA, gotta think CSA..make it your mantra.
"Customer Support Agent" will also be written as "Customer Service Agent", I am sure, as well.
I guess both are applicable here....I think 'service' is the better match for the 'ole Moderators.

But why nitpick, it is an improvement regardless.

@darlicious : Old news. Already being talked about over here. I think it's incomplete. The spacing on the left is all around bad. There should be a checkbox to the left. Maybe different on different browsers or device.
TERRIBLE CHANGE to private messaging inbox/sent list... @CS_Agent @J_PM
Change just for the sake of change??? With NO benefit but LOTS of inconvenience...
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE CHANGE IT BACK!!!!!!!

Finally they won't be called "Moderators". It took a long time to get this changed. Thank you to all involved to make this change happen as we know it must involve a lot of backend changes in the system and documentation.

Why not it would be a more appropriate title?
@darlicious Technically, I think Moderators may be the more appropriate name for our current team of Oracles (agreeing with @RosieR past post on this).
But with the 'JUST NEW' change of Moderators to Customer Support Agents, it may set a bit of confusion in the beginning. Not saying, though, later on that may be a great route to take.
Maybe a future 'graduation' of our Oracles to Moderators could be set forth as a ceremony to recognize what these members actually do for PM.

We can call him "Simon, Special Agent Simon"
08-05-2021 06:03 PM
That's what I was wondering too.
08-05-2021 06:03 PM
There is only one Simple--Simon!
08-05-2021 05:59 PM
@hairbag1 .. no need new name for Simon..its OK to stay with Customer Support Agent... cos from today. all "Customer Support Agents" are now Simon.. LoL

Except from my experience they are terrible moderators with the exception of removing really inappropriate posts and spam. They still moderate from a presumed guilty stance and the accuser as innocent as a new born baby.....at least oracles will form a commitee to review the choices they make and they cannot completely dispose of evidence other than their own.
08-05-2021 05:34 PM
@darlicious : It _was_ an idea from a certain flower girl to call the Oracles moderators. It would fall in line with pretty much any other forum I've seen. It never made sense to me to call the CSA's moderators in light of their actual duties. But they would still have moderation duties that Oracles can't do, so there's that.

Yes I found that thread.....btw you have a set of wheels so you can pledge allegiance to the pink fire hydrants. Chemistry beakers of all shapes and sizes are welcome! Don't worry....there is no fear of thorny roses that **bleep** the skin!🤣🤣🤣

Lol! **poke you and make you bleed**!!😉

It is just a name.
But for new customers, I think it is true it is a more familiar term, more human
08-05-2021 05:18 PM
@J_PM That's a positive change, thanks! Hopefully now it would be clear for customers to know with whom they communicate.
