QUOTE(mzkandi @ Oct 12 2005, 5:44 PM) ^ Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. The most obivious issue for discussion would be hiring. So why not make a seperate thread so we can all start brain storming ideas. We can also make seperate threads for other things we would like to discuss.  alright, so kiera makes a good point as quoted above. hiring is what everyone disagrees on. lets discuss what we think here. |

You think a one month requirement would be sufficient? A person can join createblog and post like crazy and be active and helpful for one month...maybe two...and then start to lose interest and fade away. and now you are down one mod. I mean you have seen it happen around here. People post for about 1 or 2 months and then they forget about this site. It might not have to be as long as 6 months, but atleast longer then 1!
As for endorsements, it would be fine with or without them. I personally think it makes a better application. Although the whole "popularity, friend" theme does come between it, i think endorsements are ultimately good. It also gets more of the members involved. but either way i am fine, although i think ultimately it is good to get the members more involved. If someone is picked to be part of the people staff, it is their responsibility to see over the entire community that they have been entrusted with. they can't simply just stick to the anime section or the lounge. they need to be pretty active around the entire community. They need to see the entire picture instead of just a piece. As for post count and how long the member has been here...again, it shows dedication. The ppd is important. about maturity and respect: i was just saying that as a mod they have to be responsible. They have to respect the community and the members, and they have to be mature in a way that everytime someone picks a fight they don't go warning people and what not. That's all i was saying. Being a mod takes responsibility, so in that case when the staff looks over the applications and look over the members posts, they have to keep these things in mind. And about a "good mod"...a good mod does the job well AND is respectful, kind, and openminded. You can do the job well, but be disrespectful, bashing on the members, and picking fights all the time...that would be a bad mod in my opinion, no matter how well they did their job. |
