UsingEnglish Team
This forum is one of the best forums that I have ever seen. In the past few years I was in another forum but it was lacking [STRIKE]of[/STRIKE]
in teachers. In this forum we have everything, asking questions, proofreading, writing topics and more and more, I cannot count all of them here.
What [STRIKE]going[/STRIKE]
goes on in this forum forces us to create a new group but [STRIKE]the person who[/STRIKE]
we don't create [STRIKE]a[/STRIKE]
new groups, [STRIKE]aren’t us it is the responsibility of[/STRIKE]
the administrators do. So we should raise our voices loudly in order to [STRIKE]able[/STRIKE]
bring the administrators' attention to [STRIKE]accept[/STRIKE]
our suggestion.
Every day before I [STRIKE]slept[/STRIKE]
sleep I ponder [STRIKE]about[/STRIKE]
this forum and what is lacking [STRIKE]of[/STRIKE]
here. [STRIKE]Then[/STRIKE]
I realized that there are a group of members who work[STRIKE]ing[/STRIKE]
hard to help others but they [STRIKE]weren’t[/STRIKE]
aren't promoted. I don’t know why but they deserve to be promoted*. (*I'm not sure what you mean by promoted - as in getting a promotion at work, or as in promotional material ie advertising?)
In this forum, there are administrators and moderators but what [STRIKE]will[/STRIKE]
would happen if we created a new group called the “UsingEnglish Team”? [STRIKE]won’t[/STRIKE]
Wouldn't that be incredible?
I have an idea for [STRIKE]them[/STRIKE]
this, which is to create a new group called “UsingEnglish Team” which includes the best members like (emsr2d2, TheParser, Raymott, Rover_KE, Gillnetter, bhaisahab, and others). Sorry if I forgot an active member.
This unique idea [STRIKE]that I showed you[/STRIKE][STRIKE]will[/STRIKE]
would develop our forum greatly. Can we have a united voice? Yes, we can. Let us repeat it. Yes, we can. Yes, we can.

I have made some amendments to your post.
I have a few issues, however. Whilst I am flattered to appear on your proposed list, I'm not clear how you would propose that the new group would work. Are you asking the team to create a whole new section (in addition to "Ask a Teacher", "Teaching English" etc) called "UsingEnglish Team" where only the members on your list can answer the questions? Or do you propose simply that the suggested people show up as members of the "UsingEnglish Team" under their username when they reply?
My concern with the latter is that if someone asks a question, and they receive four or five responses from users not on your new team, they might not consider the responses to be as reliable as those from the UE Team. This would be entirely unfair as the other responders may have given perfectly correct and acceptable answers, yet the OP might wait for a reply from the UE Team.
My other concern is that this could appear somewhat elitist. Whilst it's true that some members do post more responses than others (and without wishing to take anything away from those people), quantity does not necessarily reflect quality. I know that my responses, for example, are (I hope) quite helpful with idiomatic usage, colloquialisms, spelling, punctuation etc, they are certainly not up to the standards of others when it comes to grammar. Again, there is a concern that someone who only posts a couple of times a week might be seen as less reliable even though their answers might be perfectly accurate and full of interesting information.
I would be interested to see the opinions of the administrators/moderators on the topic, and to more dialogue about it.
