Why the long title for Clerk and STS Support?
As I was perusing the list of forums on this site, I noted that the parent forum for many of the forums is one called "Clerks and Stake Technology Specialists Support". That's quite a mouthful -- it's the longest forum title by far.
But the main question I have about that title is that it seems to be redundant. By policy, all Stake Technology Specialists are assistant stake clerks. Therefore, "Clerk Support" would seem to mean the same thing in a lot fewer words (I prefer the singular "Clerk" over "Clerks" when preceding the initial sibilant of "Support").
It's no big deal, but "reduce and simply" -- right?

If you remember that STS used to be called something like "Assistant Stake Clerk over Computers", yes. But if I was a new STS, I'd probably need to see my title in the list before it dawned on me that it was more then just the details of Membership and Financial procedures. Unless a STS has done a stint as a clerk, they may not feel like a one.Alan_Brown wrote:But the main question I have about that title is that it seems to be redundant.

While the title is long, I think it's completely proper and communicates its purpose. The key to simplifying it would be to simplify the Stake Technology Specialist title.

I like that suggestion. It's simple, should attract the attention of all the right people, and it matches the parallel pages at http://clerk.lds.org.opee wrote:What about "Clerk and Technology Support"?
