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.

You guys asked who is most likely to be considered for People Staff and its the ones that interact in the community areas most that recieve the big pluses. People staff dont just moderate one main area, we moderate all the community forums. Thats in the job descprition. We have to make ourselves accessible in all the areas. So, if you are a candadite that does that and is helpful and contributes, whats wrong with that? Nothing.
The limit of at least one month is crazy to me. Not many people know members that have been around for one month, you havent proven yourself in a grand total of 30 to 31 days, you're still considered a newbster. I would think if someone was really wanting to be on People staff they would wait until they have proven themselves longer. No rush, if you really arent power hungry you wont mind the wait.

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)

I like that idea.
