I don't know the reasons and plans behind this, however it's not like we will stop what we do. It's just the badge that's gone. Many users did not apply for Ground Crew but were surely very helpful all the time. You can still count on us - the DCS community :thumbup:

DCS Ground crew is a volunteer role on the forum and discord, we have been getting comments from users that it is confusing as they thought they were ED employees. 
It is better not to have this confusion so the role was removed. 

I am sure they will continue to be helpful as they always have been.

thanks

 Thanks  for explaining it to us , just because people get confused , { how the hell they can learn to use this sim } I still think you could still keep the designation , but explain to all the confused pilots out there , that they are not ED Staff , and should not expect instant solutions from them . yours Vector1

I think what confused people was the term "Ground Crew".  Other ones like "Campaign Beta Tester" is clear on who they are, but "Ground Crew", you don't immediately understand who they are or what they do.  If it was something that suggested "Volunteer", I don't think anyone would've had problems.

I remember only a few cases where I had to explain my role but I totally get why would someone assume admin or moderator role based on different user name color and something other that just "member". That's how it is for years on forums.

Shame to see the tag go. Never confused me a single second.

I think you get to know whos opinion to trust and who has their own personal vendetta/agenda pretty quick.

Hi it's not about trust , it's about the people putting them self's forward , to help out and then having the recognition ripped away from them ,for a nonsensical reason , yours Vector1

I get your point. I agree that its a nice thing for those that do it. But I dont think the absense of a tag or ED recognition will stop those of us wanting to help from helping. I will also say not every member with that tag was as helpful or as present as Draconus or Siver Dragon.

Hi Just think that they have been thrown under the bus for nothing more than it inconveniences the powers that be at ED , so it's seems to me that there is no appreciation going out to the people that try to make it a better forum . Yours Vector1
