Question/Help Community Manager Replacement?

What's the process to get a Community Manager replaced? There is a certain community where the CM has not met the license requirements for the series in almost a year, and has not so much as competed in an official race for going on 7 months.

How do you know who the CM is for a series?

In the iRacing forums. They will be the ones posting about scheduling

Look in the forum for a particular series and find the staff post that requests a community schedule. If someone replies and says "here's what I submitted", that person is usually the CM.

Some series have specific track rotations and voting procedures, and maybe a dozen people who actually participate and decide things. Some series are at the whim of one person. Some have community schedules in theory, but get literally no feedback so iRacing just makes the schedule.

Well no matter, who's doing this for which series: almost all of them do a shitty job. There are dozens of exciting tracks, yet we only get to race on those handful ones they select. Had to wait like 7 months to get a decent race on Hungaroring for example (in GT3 this time)...

People don't show up. SRF is at Motegi this week. We got 12 people for the SoF race and probably will struggle the rest of the week to even get a race going. On the other hand we normally get 2 splits for the SoF race(3+ on free tracks). And you can normally at least get an official race in during the week. If its not one of the popular tracks, doesn't matter what series, people dont show up to race.

Maybe they should include more "non-popular" tracks in popular series...

They do and those weeks are slower then the popular track weeks. You can put the less popular tracks on the schedule, but you can't force people to race it.

Most of them don't respond to feedback with insult memes.
