Hiring Process Discussion Options

[*incoherent*]

^ 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.

I think something anonymous where members could voice their honest opinions on staff canidates would be a good idea. Anonymity typically ensures that people will do a better feel less restrained talking about others, since they can't get offended and start personal grudges. There would be no reason to feel like you'd have to overly compliment a friend, and we could compare IPs to see that people aren't just endoring themselves or whatnot (not check, just compare)

Ah, a good point, one which I had been going to post in the Feedback forum today. It's really tangent to this discussion, but I do think there should be a guideline, if not a strict  rule, that if a mod closes a topic because it is a duplicate, then she should at least post links to existing topics. There have been a number of times I've seen a topic get closed with the words "There are existing threads on this topic," yet no link was posted. But that's an aside and not really strictly sticking to this discussion.

True, but if the topic had been bumped or made recnetly, I don't think it should be that necessary, as it isn't so hard to skim through a page or 2. Also, I don't want people to complain if I don't post the link. Not to say that mods should make a habit of not, and then making up excuses each time, but we don't need members being ridiculous

did anyone read this? we could set up an area where guests could post (which would be closedly monitored) or make an account specifically for people to send their opinions on others to.
