Probationary Period - Public Opinion Options

[sixfive]

Who decides if mods are doing a good job and should be booted by the end of the probationary period? Perhaps public opinion should come into play?

I believe with the idea of the probationary periods, it would be the upper-staff that evaluates how the new staff members have done. I support the idea of having members give their input. Of course upper-staff comments carry more weight in affecting moderator rating but I think that it's just as important for the mod to have an impact to the members if their impact isn't well perceived there is something that mod is doing wrong..

I think you should post a new topic about this and your suggestions.. in the meantime, I'll try to find the source for my answer.

Maybe you'll see this

As new staff members, you each will be subject to a probationary period of one month. During this trial period, the upper staff will be observant of your behavior, and you can be let go at any time without necessarily having been told that you need improvement. Of course, our judgment will be fair, but if we feel like you aren't doing your job, you will be let go.

After probation, in contrast, you will obviously be extended a bit more leniency, as you've proved that you can do a good job and that you are capable, you're a presence both in the community AND in backstage discussions.

I'm voting yes. Of course, drama will emerge from this, but who cares? New idea is always good.

i think the public should have a lot of opinion in the matter.

Well of course, the point of this thread was to request the public opinion. I'll voice my opinions when I have more than 1 minute online.

Well if they couldn't show up for several weeks, shortly after hirings, they should have waited for a subsequent hiring session.

I don't think graduation is a valid excuse. I just graduated, too, and I'm here every day. The only day I didn't log on to CB during all of my senior activities was the day we went to Cedar Point (left at 5 AM, returned at 1 AM). The thing is, these people probably log on (most of them anyway), but they don't do anything when they're on.

I like this idea. Afterall, we are "working for the people."

^agreed.

it always amazes me how often times i haven't seen a mod around lately and i'll go their subprofile to see when their last login was...and it'll be yesterday or today. there's a big difference between being inactive and not doing anything. when i say "not doing anything" i don't mean modding either, because half the time there isn't any of that needed. i just mean overall participation in the community.
