What does this suggestion change/add/remove?

This change would update the name of the role to either Chairman or Chairwoman, depending on who is currently holding the position.

Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?

No.

Possible Positives of the Suggestion (At least 2):

It would create a more inclusive role for individuals who have achieved this milestone.
The role title would be more accurate if, for example, a woman were holding the position.

Possible Negatives of the Suggestion:

The role name may need to be changed multiple times throughout the year, depending on the term duration of the person holding the position.

Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted?

According to Oxford Languages, Chairman is defined as "a person, especially a man, designated to preside over a meeting," while Chairwoman is defined as "a woman chosen to preside over a meeting." Updating the role title to reflect the gender of the person holding the position and this would be a simple adjustment for any Senior Admin+ within the Vjob Editor. This change would not require any development resources or significant time from the Dev team, yet it would contribute to a more positive and inclusive environment for the player base.

Suggestion Denied



Hi @Author ,

Thanks for taking the time to make a server suggestion.
The Content Team has chosen to deny your suggestion due to the following reasons.

the term Chairman is already a neutral position there for it isn't needed to change the Job title to something that is more sided towards male, female or any other gender. You stated:​
According to Oxford Languages, Chairman is defined as "a person, especially a man, designated to preside over a meeting," while Chairwoman is defined as "a woman chosen to preside over a meeting."


This seems incorrect as a chairman is just a person representing an organisation or presides a meeting etc. if I'm wrong tell me but the current usage is gender neutral just because man is in the wording doesn't mean it means "man".​
Vjobeditor syncs to both servers, it is not possible to update a job on only US without UK changing as a result.



See the pictures below taken from oxford languages both Google page and the website.
Note: this was also denied by NL after a request from the previous ECCs.
Your suggestion will now be locked and marked as denied.​
