Guides - why category specific?

I think input from all members helps the site because the members count and what they feel is appropriate also counts and helps the site evolve.

Why not? The guides are there for the benefit of the members primarily (at least, that's how I see it), so why shouldn't members have feedback and ideas? If there are ways I can better help other members in my role, I want to hear about them!

Totally agree, member feedback should be encouraged.

Helen (UK & Ireland guide) covers for me and I cover for her when we are away.

That is a good idea, except that the two people may have different opinions like, say, what makes a crownworthy review.

If I came back and noticed that something I thought was very "crownworthy" but had not been awarded one I could contact dooyoo and suggest it had been overlooked. It does not have to be awarded at the end of that week.

I think the back up guides is a good idea

If there is a full complement of guides, all of whom are active on the guides' forum, then having a specific set of backup guides is superfluous, as categories will get covered IMO.

If there are gaps in the medium to long term, which I believe there are at the moment, then I would urge Dooyoo to fill the gaps or look to have a set of backup guides.

If anyone fancies being a guide, drop me a line or get in contact with Jared at Dooyoo.

Same here. Guides don't award crowns; Dooyoo do. We guides can suggest and nominate, but we don't award the crowns.
