Since voting polls are very inefficient and let's say ineffective, in this thread, members can discuss the new staff nominations. This is the updated list where nominees have accepted their nominations. The number of times they have been nominated are next to their username. Discuss. :)

^ *I editted in the correct number* Do keep in mind we have the correct numbers backstage. Also keep in mind, the nominations you have arent the main determining factor in whether or not you become a mod

i only feel comfortable discussing people staff, as i dont visit the design section

mipadi I think michael would be an excellent staff member, he has experience, and is an intelligent friendly person. please, give me a good reason r two NOT to mod him.

M1SSxCHR1SSY Chrissy is phenomenal. she is sweet, friendly, dedicated, knows the rules, gets on with the staff team, and could not deserve the position more. one of my top two choices

YoGrandpaIsFine Urh... im sure she's lovely, but the only place i have ever really encountered her posts is in Forum Games... obviously, she must do more, as she got nominated several times, but Kelly doesnt do anything to 'stand out from the crowd' as a candidate in my mind.

sadolakced acid if Justin doesnt become staff, someone is going to be looking at the business end of a hissy fit. He has proven himself MORE than worthy by his work in feedback, the bylaws, and in the past working on CBNews. no tto mod him would be the single stupidest decision possible. My top choice.

DaTru KataLYST personally, i thought jeff was an excellent staff member. BUT. he did step down, if i recall correctly, due to the things said in moderator performance. even if it is over the top, i think mods should be able to deal with criticism slightly better than that. also, i dont think that his re-modding should come at the expense of a newer staffer who has great potential

lolita kitty here's where i start getting guilt pangs. i like cassie, i do, but i cant see her being a great staff member. i just dont think she has the maturity. Kiera said in her nomination of cassie that she was nominating (at least partially because) of her growth and improvement since she first joined the site. i appreciate this and agree, but modship shouldn't be about 'most improved'. it should be about 'most capable'. if, despite her growth, she hasnt reached the level some had to begin with, she should not be modded, which i feel is the case

yanners Yanlin would be a great staffer. i know her well through GenF as well as CB, adn think she has excellent people skills, and would be an asset to the team. It would be a shame to see her overlooked.

Hiphop d[-_-]b again, i'm sure Bella is lovely, and i have no sdisagreements with her, but, as with Kelly, i dont see her as standing out in the way that some other candidates do.

Kristinaa I'v eheard strong things about her from people that i respect, but i dont personally know her that well. i'm sure she would do well on staff, but i wouldn't like to see her modded at the expense of someone like Chrissy or Yanlin.

MyVermillionPlague I <3 Brie. she would be phenomenal as a staffer, but again... she has been a mod in the past. admittedly i dont fully understand the terms of her leaving the team, but, as with jeff, i dont think she sould be remodded over a potential staff newbie

incoherent oh god, guilt again.. i think spencer is awesome, and he is a cber i get n very well with. i dont think he would be a bad staffer AT ALL, but i
wouldn't see him modded over some of the other candidates here

BrokenDream I'm sorry, i dont really know who you are... again, im sure your lovely, but you dont stand out to me as a great pick for staff

ok... phew. so, in order of preference:

Justin
Chrissy
Michael
Yanlin
Brie
Jeff
Kristina
Spencer
Bella
Cassie
Kelly
Melissa

JAMES!! I LOVE YOU. I do not see Cassie and Bella being mods. I do not. They aren't "matured" enough. Not age/mental wise but moderating wise.

Design staff is a promotion, if you will, from xanga/myspace/blogger/lj. Right now, we only have one design staffer (me).

I do 100% agree. Backstage should take this into extra account when they consider me.

yeah...toya needs to go straight to design staff!! :D

:x

For people staff, Michael, Justin, Chrissy, and James. I'm sure all the nominations would be great, but when I joined those people stuck out to me within just the first week or so. They all seem very warm, responsible, and mature all at the same time and I think that's what got them as many nominations as they received in the first place.

Toya knows her stuff and would be great wherever you put her. I think that's unanimous; seriously, I can't think of anyone who'd disagree. For Xanga, I really think Fabio and Insomniac are great choices.

I don't want to vouch for myself since there aren't any other LJ nominations, but I will promise to be as active as possible when college allows it.

I can't help thinking I've left someone out, but I trust that the right people will be given the right positions.

Wow .. im not so popular in this thread ): But its okay.
cos i think
Mipadi would make a great mod, and he really does stand out from everyone else. I think he should definitely make people staff.

Hahha...Frankie you crack me up :D

I think that the following would truly do amazing and there the ones Im really hoping for:

people:
Mipadi: Pure intelligent person. He helps in multiple ways and could be great for people staff. He seems nice and willing to help as long as he can (which is often =]) . Its hard to explain but he would do an amazing job and thats a fact.

Incoherent:Another person that would od a great job. Hes really nice and being on people staff he could really react with the people. He's friendly and when he can hell help. He would also do a great job on people staff.

Kristina: Kristina is AMAZING! Shes really nice and fun to get along with. It seem slike she loves meeting new friends and shes always nice. She just so friendly to people its amazing. She would do great on people staff because she can relate to alot of people. Throught tv whatever shes always friendly. You have to love her.

lolita kitty: What to say about cassie? Cassies just so nice and friendly and its always a joy to talk with her. She can really communicate with people which makes her a really fun person and thats why she would do great.

lj:
Libertie: Shes another one of those all around helpful people so she would do great on staff she could really help out.

xanga:
Insomniac: Michelle seems to help people really well. I think she would make a great addition to xanga staff. She can help eople out alot whether its in the web design forums or in xanga shes an all around great person.

It's not that I don't like you as a person or anything, I just don't see a great reason that you should be staff. You could be a great gal, but I haven't seen that you have the mod qualities.

I personally think the nominations made were very well done.
I'm just mad 'cause I didn't find out I was nominated until the day after the deadline was to accept your nominations ><

I was nominated and nobody told me D:

^ awww :( i almost missed the deadline because i was away for thanksgiving and i didn't know i had been nominated either.

I'll try my best to say something useful.

PEOPLE
Michael - Personally I haven't seen him around that much, but from what everyone else has said about him, I think that he would be a wonderful addition to the staff.

Chrissy - She was one in the past, am I correct? I have the impression that she is really nice and friendly. It would be great to have her back on staff.

Justin, James - Always involved in improving cB. Shows certain dedication and I think this should be one of the many qualities a people staff should have.

Jeff - Definitely should be on staff again. He did a great job in the past and I'm sure he can make an impact to cB of creating fun.

Yanlin - Another ex-people staff, right? I see her on cB every day during the timezones where people in the US are mostly asleep or at school/work. It would be nice to have a people staff online during this different timezone so as to maintain order in cB.

Melissa - She applied last time but didn't make it. I can tell that she has the qualities to become a good people staff.



I'm not commenting on MySpace or LiveJournal staff-nominees because I never visit those forums at all.

XANGA
Toya - no doubt.



As for myself... :X


//edit: It's sort of a compliment that I could have confused you for being a staff in the past...

haha thankyou. but actually, no, i've never been on any of the staff positions at cB.

Just as a heads up, the addition of new staffs wil be postponed until further notice. You all can keep on discussion, but there's some minor controversies that we, staff members as a whole, must resolve.

Thanks for all your input, you guys. Keep 'em coming. :]

EDIT : Resolved :D

oh. im removing my acceptance for my nomination..

please remove my name from the list

^Removed...

thank you

= )

*waves my justin flag*

I'm definately glad that Toya and Krisitina are nominated. Toya really knows her stuff about designing and all. She definately deserves to be on Design Staff. Kristina is also good with finding duplicate topics, and spammers. She really needs to be on People Staff.

Good Luck Guys!

Oh sorry for that mistake.
Maybe you were so active around that time I joined that made me believe you were one...

hahahahh how ironic. i swear, before this i thought you were part of the staff as well.

I'll give my opinion on People staff. I'm too biased on the other half!


mipadi: YES. Michael needs to be on people staff. He has always come across as very intelligent, and he rises above the petty drama on CB. He's very friendly and very active, and he also listens to both sides and judges fairly, from what I have seen of him in the debate forum. I think that Michael would be an awesome addition to staff.

sadolakced acid: YES! Justin, I think, has my support more than almost anybody. He's always stood out to me in the community section of CB as someone who is funny, fair, friendly, and brutally honest. He says it like it is, and I think CB Staff could benefit from a person like that. I worked with him on CB News Staff, and he really stood out to me as someone who always knows what's going on and who could put it forth in a way that made you want to stop and listen.

Kristinaa: YES, again. I have seen this girl in action, and she is a force to be reckoned with. She doesn't put up with any bull, but she's also very friendly and outgoing to everyone, especially newbies. Because of her friendliness and willingness to help, I think that Kristina would be an incredible addition to staff.

M1SSxCHR1SSY: YES. Chrissy is like, wait, I thought she was already on staff? I don't know her personally, but she seems very sweet, very thoughtful, and very friendly. She's always quick to help, and she is very active in the community forums.

My $.02

Hmm...I'm not sure about this confusion with me being on staff previously. I never was, hahah. But thanks for the nice comments and such.


I think that Mipadi and Yanners would be great additions to people staff. They frequent the forums, have good posts that contribute to a topic, and are welcoming and nice to other members. Both have also not been involved in the typical cB drama.

I can't really speak about those nominated for design staff or anything because I'm not sure who is exactly qualified. But I do think that those two members I mentioned above should be highly considered for people staff.

It's more like... why aren't you on staff yet? Kind of thing.
