uh..i think so. why wouldn't it..?

aye

oooooooooooo. :x

wait wait wait...

shouldn't there be a limit less than 10 for design staff?

like. 5?

becuase, you kinda want everyone who's nominated to be a good choice for mod.

and i think that whatever thread is used for nominations should show who's been nominated.

Well the mods are nominating, and if there isn't 10 people that are even said, only the amount of people that are nominated will be in the poll. There is no minimum, but 10 is the max.

Aye. (Obviously)

so whoever the mods feel should be nominated, nominate that person backstage and then that person is confronted?

if thats what you mean, then nay.

Ok, so
1. Mods nominate people
2. Each staff section is then presented to community so they can give feedback
3. This feedback (combined with staff feedback) is then taken to consideration by the hiring staff
4. Then mods are hired

Did I get that right?

alright, so the mods nominate and then 10 people are picked from each group...?

1) Mods nominate people they want for any category, no matter their category.
2) There is no minimum of nominations we must have, but the maximum for each separate category is 10.
3) Once all the nominations are said and done, polls are made for each category with the nominations.
4) The community votes on those previously made nominations on who they think is best.
5) Heads and Admins use both the community and mod input to make their final decision.
6) New mods are hired.

'Tis the process.

that makes it confusing. how does a mod know what category a person wants though if the person just doesnt come out and say it?

Do you know what a nomination is?

nomination - The act or an instance of submitting a name for candidacy or appointment.

It's a nomination, not a direct hiring. The people can turn it down.

Besides, it's pretty easy to see who's better in the Design forums than the Community..

Or that nominee could request to be considered for another postion as well....

In either case......I'm not feeling this 100% currently.

i know what a nomination is.

what i was stating was how is a mod going to know what position a person wants if theyre going to nominate them?

like say i wanted to be nominated for people staff, but i cant just p/m you and say "will you nominate me for people staff and not design staff?" before the nominations are made public. you'd have to p/m the person if you think they are worthy of being modded.

it requries knowing the person.

i like #1 cuz it actually requires something besides their popularity... yeah. i like no. 1

Well yea, we went over that already..the people included in the polls would be asked...

alright...i guess i missed that.

^As did I =]

hmm...
i'm not really easy with the nomination thing...I really like the idea of having whoever wants to apply can apply. I mean we designed all the other by-laws based around that idea, not really based on nominations.
If we're voting I would have to say "Nay"...
I'm not really too easy about it, and I still think that the way it is now works really well.

frankie, as much as you are a wonderful personim afrqaid you arent on the committee

= (

oh. SO didnt notice there was another whole page, sorry frankie, to tell you again

oh, and 4 ayes, but no actual nays.

kiera, i assume that as you weren't feeling it, you're a nay, but i didnt count you so as to be sure you had actually cast a vote one way or another

james, mine is a nay...

James - Spencer and Katie both said nay and I am still deciding.

oh, i missed katie's vote, thanks...

i assumed that since spencer had voted without understanding what it meant, and then had it explained, that hi soriginal vote would be rethought, so i'll leave that until he confirms one way or th other

so, 4 definate ayes, 1 definate nay

nay...

i dont like having the mods nominate people...i think it should be more a community thing. alright, im not going to go into what i think. i vote NAY

ok then, with that confirmed,

4 ayes, 2 nays

I'm in favor of a somewhat more traditonal way. As far all qualifed members applying (via submission of application). Then have a community thread so the community can have a say in who they should be a mod and well as one backstage for mods to voice their opinion. The feedback from both sides would be taken in consideration for by the admins and head staff on who they think should be hired. It opens it up for more variety of people to apply so no one is overlooked, at least, thats what I think.

So nay on mod nominations.

Agreed. I really like the traditional method. And like what Kiera already mentioned, I think it's the best way for everyone to participate.

Aye, but in your post, James, you forgot to say that the members vote on the nominations afterwards.

^ Sorry, you have to a committee member in order to vote on anything.

ariel, its been said... and i cant edit my posts.

anyway

4 ayes, 3 nays

yet to vote:

nicki
stephen
michael

aye

Aye

in that case, the motion has passed, with 6 ayes to 3 nays

someone add this, por favor...

im going to close this, as i feel it has been resolved, obviously, anyone who disagrees, re-open
