Hiring Options

[pandora]

Hey guys, it's that time of year again... the staff would like to know who may be interested in becoming a staff member, or if there's anyone that you would like to see on staff. A reason why wouldn't hurt, but it's not required.


Make sure you say if you specify people staff or design staff.


Especially for Design staff, dont be afraid to nominate yourself if you have a low amount of posts but you have a lot of great contributions. We may still consider you, we may not. But we'll never know if you dont put your name out there.


Edit://

Here's this list of nominees so far. I'll be updating this just so we have an idea. This way we wont have to go searching for names later. Mods, feel free to help me update this.

People Staff.

I've been on this forum for a while now and I have a decent idea of how things work. This isn't a popularity contest, not by any means. I would like to play a better role in improving the quality of the the forums, and the People Staff position is right up my alley.

[*CowerPointyObjects*]

People staff.

I'm honestly a good moderator. I might say more later.

[shoryuken]

i want memba staff..

[pandora]

nguoicasison you were verbally warned by me the other day for spamming, and here you are still doing it. once more, and i'll disable your posting abilities and your warning level will increase.

[ChangeofHeart]

I would greatly enjoy being part of the people staff, but if I can't get it then it's fine.

[shoryuken]

i dunno wtf memba staff about but what the hey.. GIVEE DAT SHIETT DA MEEE!!! HAHAHA!!!

fo real.. you admin/mod know you wannaa givee me membaa staff!!

you see the new FRESH NGUOICASISON!!!!

[pandora]

god, yknow you thanks for editting your post after mine.

[*Steven*]

Brandon - Nope. JC/Toya are enough black.
Trish - You didn't capitalize "once", instant demotion to design staff (but put on probation for 2 months and 3 days).
Nikki - Georgia. Suzzette's from Georgia. Do we really want people from Georgia?

[shoryuken]

wtf.. i tryda be nicee n edit.. now u mad..

k.. MEMBA STAFF PLZ...

[tokyo-rose]

Stop spamming; I'm raising your warning level. Trish and I both verbally warned you in a few threads yesterday but you still refuse to stop. Even if you were put on People Staff (by some miracle), people wouldn't be able to understand what you were saying in your posts. STOP.

[shoryuken]

no no.. i say u ppl ginnaa see the NEW FRESH NGUOICASISON!!

that mean type/talk/chat all manner!!! no diz n dat kindaa shiet.. HAHAH!!

all normalll typpeinn.. ^^

JUST LOOKK ATT MYY SIGG!! IM TERRORISTT i shoot dezee kidzz whoo gitt outtaa controll!!

[tokyo-rose]

JUST LOOKK ATT MYY SIGG!! IM TERRORISTT i shoot dezee kidzz whoo gitt outtaa controll!!

We've already got Eddie the sniper; he doesn't need a terrorist helper. That's not how People Staffers handle CB's members, anyway.

[hypnotique]

Nikki - Georgia. Suzzette's from Georgia. Do we really want people from Georgia?

It cant be as bad as California with the 40,000 a year salary paid janitor pedophile.

[pandora]

hey im from cali.

[hypnotique]

Are you a janitor pedophile who goes by gilbert nabil?

No...At least I hope.

[*Steven*]

I think so.

[pandora]

anyway, enough spam.

[ersatz]

I support Nicki's nomination. She really is a great moderator. It's quite unfortunate that she had to step down more or less due to the fault of another, but that's in the past and I'm sure we can all forget about that.

[Jeng]

people because im cool and yeah
but i havent been around the last past months because of school, but all those midterms are over so im here
o well.

[pandora]

i'm nominating miyashu and fainaru for design staff. both of them have impeccable contributions to the resource center, regardless of their low amount of community posts; I'm sure that's something they would work on if they wanted to be on staff.

im also supporting brandon's nomination because he's shown a lot of interest in helping this community, and doesnt let all the hype and drama get to him.

[brooklyneast05]

i nominate steven

[superstitious]

Brandon definitely has my support. I didn't even think Nicki would be interested, but she's a promising one as well.

I echo Trish's remarks regarding miyashu. She's fantastic.

[superficial]

Been waiting for a hiring season, although it's worth a shot. :). But yeah, I'll try out for People Staff, since that's where I post most of the time.

Even though I'm not super active around the community, but I try to post only when I have something relevant to say, but I admit that I do have posts where it is considered spam, I guess. I've never been on staff, but I'll definitely try to make createBlog much more enjoyable for everyone, and I will treat everyone equally.

edit: oh, and I also try to help people around in the Community Center as well as the Resource Center

People who I believe deserves to be on staff:

Autobahn: I also as well feel that Michelle (Autobahn) would be an excellent Design Staff. She's extremely talented, and could definitely make createBlog have much more better layouts. She's also pretty experienced in HTML/CSS/PHP.

Michelle: She WAS on staff before, although I've never actually seen her as a staff with my own eyes, she seems like a pretty friendly person, and would be a great addition to the staffing team.

Steven: Even though he has his moments where he is disrespectful/rude (hey, everyone's guilty of this), when he does post something with extreme thought, his posts are miraculous. So he would be a great addition as well.

sparrowdust: She's been around for quite some time, and she has a great mind, and excellent posts. She's friendly, and she is never biased when she posts. She speaks her mind, and I like that.

CowerPointyObjects: She has very great and relevant posts, and she always gives reasoning to her posts. That's what cB needs, and that is how we'll make a better community.

[Gryffindor-Girl]

It would be awesome if I got People Staff But it is really up to you if you feel it is okay. If I did get it I would be fair to everyone.

[toxicity584]

I nominate myself i.e. JaVonn. Being as my other account is blocked from posting, I had to nominate myself on this one. I may not be a popular choice, but hey it is worth a shot. I also echo Brandon's nomination.

[pandora]

it still is?
i only had it set for 2 hours...


edit:// sorry, for some reason after the 2 hours it got switched to "indefinitely" f**kin pain in my ass.

anyway your account is unlocked, as well as kc's. you should have PMed me!

[fameONE]

I nominate myself i.e. JaVonn. Being as my other account is blocked from posting, I had to nominate myself on this one. I may not be a popular choice, but hey it is worth a shot. I also echo Brandon's nomination.

I was wondering where you disappeared to.

[JCLore]

that'd be really fun actually

i nominate.....ME!!
or Javonne

Edit//i'd like to say design staff, but im not exactly experienced in that feild.... he he

[LoveToMySilas]

Ah, Nikki and Brandon have my support.

Good luck to all of those who are applying.

[miyashu]

I would love to be on design staff. Although I just started my second semester in college, I will dedicate as much time as I have to fulfilling my responsibilities as a staff member. I'll play an active role in the Resource Center....and will also continue to submit sexy layouts.

Good luck to all applicants!

[*CowerPointyObjects*]

Brandon definitely has my support. I didn't even think Nicki would be interested, but she's a promising one as well.

I echo Trish's remarks regarding miyashu. She's fantastic.

If I can't get myself to leave, I may as well get things done around here :)

[*Steven*]

Michelle. Biased? Maybe. Good choice? Definitely. You see, we were on staff. WE KNOW WHAT WE'RE DOING!

That is all.


No but I kid. I think one of the things staff need to be able to do is voice their opinion and think for themselves. So many people on this forum (not pointing fingers) are "yes people". So many people jump onto the popular thought process. So many people don't think for themselves. I think Michelle exemplifies this, and doesn't let her self get too caught up in Drama. She plays it cool for the most part (bye bye Suzy Q'z). I also think Nikki is capable of thinking on her own (that bitch), so I think she'd do great, too.

[Simba]

If that's you, please stand up.

[brooklyneast05]

I hope she thanks me
HI JC I AM STILL SICK SCHOOL SUCKS HOW R U

GET BETTER NOW PLEASE AND THANK YOU. i'm not too bad




i'm trying to think of who else to nominate.

[*CowerPointyObjects*]

I nominate that kid in the back that no one ever pays attention to, but always aspired to become part of the cB staff.

If that's you, please stand up.

I don't really think we should turn being on staff into just a way to be noticed and become more popular among the community again. It doesn't seem that way so much anymore, but it definitely has been in the past.

[*Steven*]

whoosh

[missnh]

[Simba]

I wasn't completely serious, but now that you bring it up, I actually never thought about it that way.


I was just reminded about how I was that kid once. No worries.

[*CowerPointyObjects*]

Oh, haha.

Daaaaamn, are you really a freshman in high school? I feel so old :(

[Simba]

Yeah, I'm a frosh.

[brooklyneast05]

arjuna is a young Mr. Miyagi

[missnh]

Oh yeah,


I definitely think Nikki / Nicky / Nickster would make a good member of the staff as well. She is pretty k3wl I gez.

Btw I think I should be on staff so I can do the things that everyone has forgotten about: The Online Store Directory and Art Contests

So far we have some really good mentions.

[michellerrific]

I'm going to nominate myself for Design Staff. Although I've been posting less and less (mostly due the a bit lower activity there)in the Resource Center, I do have a good knowledge about graphics and web design and I'm pretty sure I know what I am doing.


On the other hand, I definitely support Superficial. Not just because she's a good friend, but because you can always see that her posts are full of meaning and opinion - exactly what we all enjoy reading.

[transcendentalis...]

if you're not under this list, it either means i haven't noticed you too much (not to mean that i don't think you're active) or i just would rather you not be on staff.

BrandonSaunders
CowerPointyObjects
steven
superficial
Michelle

i think brandon would be a good staff member because he connects really well with people, imo. he makes an effort to get to know members around here and become friends with them. he's obviously intelligent and reasons through things thoroughly, and he can hold his own.

i've seen nicki on staff before and all i can really say to that is that i think she did an awesome job. she's one of the couple people i look up to on here. she's never unreasonable (as far as i can see) and has made contributions to the community for about forever now.

steven... and i'm going to include michelle in here too, haha. they've been on staff before too, and i think they handled things in the community more than competently. both of them have great senses of humor and add a lot of personality to the forums. while they're both laid back, they aren't negligent either.

as for superficial, i can honestly say i don't see her around too much. however, when i DO see her around, she's always got something good to say and i think promoting her would most likely raise cb's general iq.

edit/
as for myself being on staff?
i suppose i could avoid bickering with random people if that ever happened. as long as there's some sort of moderating guidelines thread somewhere, i could learn.

[DoubleJ]

I am standing, now where do I go?

There are ^.~

you'd be ok, you and me have bickered with a few people together as i have been on staff

[DoubleJ]

If I didn't have to nominate myself, then I would definitely say Ruth and Brandon. I would even nominate Whitney as well, as they all seem to be people who are admired if not respected in high regard on the forums.

[transcendentalis...]

good to know :)

i'm surprised no one has nominated sammi (ersatz) for design or people staff yet. i don't see her in the community forums all that much, but from the point of view of someone who doesn't know a thing about design and someone who's been watching her designs before i actually signed up on cb, i think she knows what she's doing.

[*Steven*]

I nominate holly for design staff

[Insurmountable]

^Lol I was actually thinking about it xD

My list consists of:
Steven
Ruth
Melissa
and Michelle

[transcendentalis...]

^melissa as in me1isssaa or something along those lines?
for people or design?

[superficial]

^melissa as in me1isssaa or something along those lines?

I think she means Melissa (Jeng).

[transcendentalis...]

that makes more sense. i haven't seen melissa (atkins i think?) too much lately.

[Insurmountable]

Jeng

[freeflow]

Brandon & Ruth ftw

[pandora]

Brandon & Ruth ftw

[pandora]

i just want to add that if you have been on staff before, dont think you're getting on again just for that simple fact. humble thyself.

[S-Majere]

Some good candidates so far! I'd like to put a quick mention in of Fawaz and Mlothepimp - both are extremely helpful and active in the RC and deserve recognition for a possible design staff placement if they're interested.

[newkidontheblock]

Oh I agree 100%, their more active around the resource center than a lot of people that have been offered the job in a while. Their helpful and usually have a good answer.

[*Steven*]

i just want to add that if you have been on staff before, dont think you're getting on again just for that simple fact. humble thyself.

Well of course! The only difference is, I know what I'm doing. I'm kind of a big deal around here...

[*CowerPointyObjects*]

Well of course! The only difference is, I know what I'm doing.

I'm not going to pretend that I'm a big deal around here anymore, but the rest of that applies.

[DoubleJ]

May the best person win for all of the positions.

[freeflow]

i nominate brooklyneast05

He's too annoying. And he's a quitter. And when people tell him to stay awake he leaves. NO WAY!

[DoubleJ]

How many times a year do they do hiring?

[freeflow]

There's no time set for hiring or when we hire. It's done when we need more people on staff.

[DoubleJ]

Oh okay, just wondering. Thanks Toya!

[rnicron]

Hi, pick me. Afterall, I asked first!

[misoshiru]

just so you all know...







trish won't hire anyone taller than her.

[DoubleJ]

I doubt I'll make it anyway. I am 6'2/6'3? and I am black. Nothing is working in my favor lol.

[freeflow]

^ Blackness works in your favor. Trish is 8/8ths black


Don't worry tall people. I'm on your side!

[hypnotique]

We need more latinos on staff.

Elba and I are alone.

Anyone want to step up..Cuban,puerto rican,mexican...anything?

[misoshiru]

where's elba these days? i miss her.

[superstitious]

We need more latinos on staff.
