PEOPLE STAFF:dani41790

I'm honestly disappointed. I didn't think it would be this blatanly obvious, but this staff choice (and also the whole Seon Ho situation) proves just how much Jusun favors friends over others, how much he overlooks qualification for friendship.

Look at her posts. Do not tell me she doesn't spam; you will be lying. Again, I am disappointed, not even because I wasn't chosen, but because she was.

[*mona lisa*]

Yay, congratulations to all you guys!

I knew Frankie, Nicloe, Heather, Rachel, and Teesa would make great mods! I'm happy for you guys and welcome to the new Staff.

[xquizit]

Congrats to you all! Looking forward to working with you guys. =]

[sharerol]

Congratulations to all of you guys! I'm sure you'll be GREAT mods!!

[heyyfrankie]

oh my gosh! thank you to all of the current staff and admins for picking me! and congrats to all other recipients!

[Spirited Away]

I don't know half of you... but congrats on being chosen. I look forward to working with you guys.

Jusun wasn't solely in control of who would be modded, Kim had her input also. You can't possibly put the blame on one person. And besides, I'm sure they both had good reasons why some people were modded and some people were NOT.

Why was Dani modded then? Look at her posts. Really now.

I took part as well. It was a very careful and just process.

Sorry, do I look like Jusun/Kim/Roxy to you?

[*Azarel*]

Sorry, do I look like Jusun/Kim/Roxy to you?

Fine then, the question is redirected. Christ.

[mouse_3k]

Congrats guys! proud of yall!

[Rachel]

Oh wow! Thank you soo much!! I am in shock!

By the way, I completely agree with Anna. I hope that Dani can prove herself

[YourSuperior]

CONGRATULATIONS!

Excellent choices.

Not really, Dani spams a whole bunch.

[EmmalieV]

^RACHEL! CONGRATS =) You are going to be an AWESOME MOD =)

Congrats to everyone else , STEPH AND NICOLE!.

[gigiopolis]

Not really, Dani spams a whole bunch.

** generally speaking

[Pulchritude]

aww i didnt make it ... congrads to the rest tho!

[seriouslynikki]

Congrats everyone!!!

[Looow]

Aw too bad I didn't make it. Oh well theres always next time!
Rachel,Stephanie & NiCOLE!!! Congrats!!!

[Gypsy Eyes]

i was rooting for everyone who got it, exactly how i expected it. It'll be great having you guys on the team.

[xTINAA]

Wonderful job everyone! I'm extra excited that Teesa got picked =)

Edit:
I hadn't read the previous posts about Dani having made staff. However, now that I have noticed that and I have looked at her posts, I too feel disappointed that she was chosen. Sure, I'm disappointed that I wasn't chosen as well, but even more so, I feel that there were a few other members that would have made great staff yet, she was picked instead. It's almost a feeling of being cheated. Anyways, just my two cents on it. I'm also very curious as to why she was chosen opposed to others.

Congratulation to all if you'all

[DanielleMaria05]

I knew Rachel was going to get it. GO YOU!!!!! You'll be a great mod.

Oh well.. there's always next time for me..

Congrats to everyone else!!!

[sadolakced acid]

hmm.

i'm with anna on that. those posts are crap.

Congrats to all who we modded today. you have proven me wrong.


i was really hoping my 'application' would sway someone... but no; not really.

for me, CB has been going downhill, judging from the quality of the debates in the debate forum.

i really do hope there is a CB revolution and something changes, or else soon it will really not worth my time to come to CB anymore.

so, mods, i hope you really do make CB a better place.


(( i like how the applications thread convenently is gone... now i can't read and judge the applications))

go anna!

[kana-p]

Yay! Hoooraay for you guys. Congrats, congrats. <333

I praise you heather. :P

[silver-rain]

Congrats to everyone that was modded. I'm sure you'll all do a great job.

[heyyfrankie]

okay, y'all. there was obviously a reason why dani was modded. i trust roxy/jusun/kim's judgement and you know that there is a rock hard reason for her moddedness. so just leave her alone about it.

[*stephinika*]

ohmygod ohmygod ohmygod ohmygod ohmygod ohmygod. okay i'll stop now.
thank you so much. congratulations to all the other new mods too!
i just came home from school (late i know - i had choir) and i seriously jumped up and down when i saw this. yes i'm silly i know.

[yeseulx3]

congratulations, everyone...

[xTINAA]

okay, y'all. there was obviously a reason why dani was modded. i trust roxy/jusun/kim's judgement and you know that there is a rock hard reason for her moddedness. so just leave her alone about it.

We are simply wondering and just asking for an explanation because in our eyes we can't see a real reason on why she should have been modded when examining her posts. That's all. We're not trying to complain about it, just asking a simple question. If there is a rock hard reason for it, then I think we'd just like to hear what it was.

[*Azarel*]

okay, y'all. there was obviously a reason why dani was modded. i trust roxy/jusun/kim's judgement and you know that there is a rock hard reason for her moddedness. so just leave her alone about it.

I'm curious about this "rock hard" reasoning. Since you're so seemingly adamant about defending their decision, maybe you could tell me. Hm?

I'm not the only person that feels strongly about this shit either-- I'm just apparently one of the few that has the balls to speak up about it. I don't care how high up and prestigious Jusun/Kim Sr./Roxanne are. I want to know why someone with posts like hers was modded.

I've also heard that she was modded twice before (a rumor which I have doubts about, but whatever) and stepped down or was kicked off because she wasn't active enough. Does someone like that really deserve to be part of staff?

I think as part of the forum, I have the right to know why someone was modded. I deserve to know-- after all, without the community, what is this forum? Nothing. Exactly.

[kris_fox17]

yay......... Heather and Tracy are on xanga staff, i need to get moving with some templates so i can be an official designer........

I think as part of the forum, I have the right to know why someone was modded. I deserve to know-- after all, without the community, what is this forum? Nothing. Exactly.

i agree......... i don't agree with one of the choices, but oh well!!!!

[HelloSunshine]

aww i didnt make it  ... congrads to the rest tho!

Yeah..I was surprised..I thought that you'd make a great mod Oh Wells *sigh* always next time, right?

edit//
I am also disappointed with Dani being mod. I've seen her posts..but obviously there's a reason that the staff picked her. I'm just not exactly sure...Congrat again, I guess

[mai_z]

Ahh, but for once you didn't double post . And people are more upset over the fact that Dani hasn't really proven herself to the community, all we can see is spam. I would suggest you don't get involved in this is dear.

yea.if there is one thing cb has taught me it's to picka nd choose my battles. and this is not one i am willing to fight in. plus i don't know much about this whole situation so i will sit on the sidelines for this one =).

[yukichan]

aww...i didnt make it..o well..lol..

And I don't think this counts as spam either...but yeah =) And also the "cB is hiring" topic talks about the issue of occasional spamming and member bashing and how it's not appropriate for future staff, staff, and members to do so.

[pAtRiCk_sTar]

Congratulations, everyone The choices made were definitley the best ones.

[Nugget]

Shucks, I knew it. Well, I'ma have to try harder.

Congrats to those of you who made it! I'm glad you guys made it. To tell you the truth, I thought those of you who made it, were already mods. Anyways, congrats!

[dahding]

so that's how it is, is it?

friends over people how can actually do the right job. and u all wonder why so many people are leaving cb.

"we're just a nice big family here at cb! " <--- u've got to be shitting me.

nice big family my ass.

meh, i'll probably get warned for this or something. like i care.

[freeflow]

CONGRATS! too all you guys and all the people that made it that i was hopeing would (which is most of you:) )

[Chii]

okay, i'm done being jealous that i didn't get picked

congratulations to the people who were chosen i think that XKali_chik_4_lifeX was one of the most qualified members chosen

[KELLYYY]

Bleh, congrats!

I don't know about you, but I highly doubt Jusun knows all the people he recently modded, same with Kim or Roxy, let alone them being friends.

Don't assume.

[dani41790]

Yaaaay. Thank you for choosing me and congrats to everyone else who made the staff!

[Skyline Drive]

However, now that I have noticed that and I have looked at her posts, I too feel disappointed that she was chosen.

I agree. I guess there isn't much we can do about it, or is there? : /

[Spirited Away]

Yaaaay. Thank you for choosing me and congrats to everyone else who made the staff!

I don't mean to sound like a recluse but I'm pretty sure I speak for a lot of people when I ask "who are you". Why don't you head over to the moderator introduction and introduce yourself?

[WhiteLotus*]

I didn't make it in...again. *sigh*

But I'm glad Nicole is!


CONGRATS TO EVERYONE!

[NatiMarie]

Cool!
Congrats.
:D

[largosama]

Woo! I am Mysticalazxn's only fan! woo!

of course congrats to everyone else... hopefully they don't abuse their power and cause mass emigration from cB again

[*wind&fire*]

congratulations guys.. you deserve it!

[xquizit]

Why are you guys so quick to assume that there's some sort of conspiracy and that we've chosen friends over more qualified applicants? How could any of you possibly make that assumption without taking part in the process yourself? I'm a bit disappointed that some of you, rather than contacting one of the admins about your concerns or discussing it amongst yourselves in private, chose to publicly state your disagreements and humiliate our new staff members. Those who were chosen are not at fault, there is no need to embarass them. Please practice some tact and have some consideration for those whose feelings may get hurt.

I think this off topic since this suppose to a congrats to the new members but
exactly what is the "process", seriously if this was answered or at least explained I think some people would be quiet about it....

I'm not quite sure if I'm allowed to discuss it publicly since one of the staff rules is to be discreet about what goes on "backstage". I guess I'll just say that each of the 3 of us compile a list, and micron takes these to compile a final list to determine who our final choices are. I've left out the details but if you really want to know, perhaps you should ask one of the admins.

[KissMe2408]

lol i told you guys the aftermath was gonna be good hehe After the mods were announced i had a feeling there was gonna be a few discussions about the choices....now...

I think the choices were pretty good ones too =) Stephanie and XKali_chik_4_lifeX and Frankie are the best choices i think. I'm so happy they got it, def deserved it 100%. aw, and Teesa got the xanga staff!!! yay! lol. i knew you would, ur skins are amazing =)
Tho i'm suprised Chrissy or Dahding didn't make it. But there were many members that were exceptionally qualified, so it was a hard decision guys.

To respond to dahdings post...It is politics my dear. It's going to be like that wherever you go, and i really did think they picked pretty good mods, i'm not disappointed.

As for the whole dani thing. sigh, besides being qualified and has been a member since feb 2004, not all her posts have been spam. I was suprised by it, yah...but i'm sure she'll prove herself. And if she doesn't, then i guess you can PM jusun about it. But dani i'm sure you'll do a great job =)

ah, and rachel congrats on being a mod, behave now ;) lol

[*mzkandi*]

^^^agreed..some you guys seriously need to calm down....give the people you have doubts about a chance to prove themselves, I know I am...seriously you could be completely wrong and if not then there is always the next time hiring comes around to make a difference....with that said I am still curious about the hiring process but I respect that they may not want to desperse that info...I'm not even going to bother pming an admin because if they want to explain then they will.

Once again: Congrats to those that made it

[racoons > you]

HOW, in god's name, did DANI get picked over CHRISSY, or ANNA, or EMMALIE, or JUSTIN???? thats actually quite disgusting

come ON, folks! this is why we need the vote...

anyway.... congratulations to everyone, especially rachel, nicole, and steph, who i know will do an icredible job, and i TOLD you would make it.

=)

actually, im a little amused that i didnt make it. now sandra has to kiss her sister's ass. lol

;p

[dani41790]

Wow gosh it looks like lots of people don't want me to be a mod . I was actually quite surprised myself since I really didn't deserve the job. And for those of you who think that they picked friends over people who can do a better job, it's not true. I don't even know any of the mods. I really have no clue at all why they picked me, so please don't think that I was chosen out of popularity, I really do want to help CB improve so please give me a chance. I'll step down though if you all really don't think i deserve to be a mod. Gosh I feel hated. But well thankyou to those who are willing to give me a chance to prove myself.

[jaeman]

I guess I'll just be another official member in this place, nothing ever turns good in my ways. This sucks, I got rejected twice; I think it's a sign.
Oh well, I'll just continue living my real life. Semper Fortis.

Have fun being staff members.

[misoshiru]

aww. i didnt make it.

but congrats to everyone who did. i'm sure you guys will do great.

[Ballpointpencil]

I think a lot of people in this thread need to read that. They are showing little care for the fact that the new mods are people too, with feelings that probably hurt quite a lot when members post complaining about them not being qualified. At least keep it private people!

[Nicolatofu]

Thank you all for your support! I realize quite of few of you probably don't know much about me, but I just posted in the moderator introductions. So, check it out along with all of the other staff members' intros!

Dani (what is your name?) I will be the first to say I am quite please that this cb hiring didnt seem to be a popularity contest. It gives underdogs like me a chance to actually get hired next time. With that said I dont think you should quit because, I see this a test of you being a mod. Take the critisim and move on. You had no control over the reason why they picked you and I dont think that there is a need for you explain yourself. I think alot of us arm up in arms because they wanna know exactly how the hiring process goes seeing how some seem to think they were overqualified i guess. Its like, what more do ya want, ya know? Something Roxy has already mentioned is takening it up with the admins. So do your thing, contribute to cb the best way you know how.

[*Weird addiction*]

CONGRATULATIONS ALL AND YOU TOO RACHEL!!

Stop being rude. Some of you are really making asses of yourselves.

I will be the first to say I am quite please that this cb hiring didnt seem to be a popularity contest.

Yes, I agree. And I guess that is why some members are so disappointed because they thought they were a shoe-in. Well, I don't know about the other admins but I was very fair when creating my list of who to accept. It wasn't about who was "popular" or who had the most posts, but who genuinely was striving for the well-being of createblog and who exhibited the qualities of what would make a good mod.


And to Dani, I'm really sorry that you have to go and read these rude comments people have made about you being modded. Don't let it discourage you, go ahead and prove yourself. You should be honored that you've been chosen, not sorry. Again, welcome to the team.
