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. |

is there anyway of mking a poll whereby only admins/staff can view the results?
because, if so, perhaps we could do somethign whereby we take all applicationsa dn post them in a thread in the lounge with a poll with invisible results. then, the members can vote, and will no tbe influenced directly by the poll results. this kills off any potentials who arent well known by the community who they will represent, linking back to sammi's point about staff/admins having other thigns to worry about backstage and whatnot to have a perfect idea of inter-community relations. then, the top however-many (or possibly everyone who reaces a certain number of votes) are taken backstage, and discussed among the staff in the way in which the last hiring was handled, where the final decison is made that way it involves the community, but staff have the final say. QUOTE 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. i like that idea... i think people need to be abl eto discuss the candidates frankly without people getting hurt by specific people, in manner of the dani fiasco. QUOTE (1)The member needs to be active. And not just active in the lounge and entertainment, but active in the whole community (especially people staff) (2)The member should be a member for atleast 6 months. It will show their dedication and they should be familiar with the rules and forums. (3)When it comes to Createblog Drama...eh...man...they need to be mature. let's just put it like that. They need to be mature and respectful. Those qualities are so important when you are looking to hire someone. (4)I recommend the member should have over 1,500 posts in the 6 months they were here. Is that fair? or should the post count be higher? i think it's a nice platform, and thats how it was last time , no? (5)They need to know how to use the search button lol (6)As a mod you are SERVING the community. Look at it as stepping down, NOT stepping up. Being a mod is hard work and it's a JOB. You need to take it serious. This is not for people who are on some power craze. (7)Mods need to be helpful, respectful, kind, mature, and open minded. 1) agreed to an extent, but it shouldnt be the be all and end all. if two people are equally qualified, then it should come down to whoever has the biggest cross sections of forums that they visit. But if someone who would be very good, bu tonly visits the lounge , entertainemnt, and maybe the locker room and pictures sometimes, they shouldn tbe rejected over someone who wont be as good at the job, but posts everywhere. i mean, a lot of subforums arent that busy, so it isnt essential that all mods are in there all the time 2) agreed fully, prevents people who have go their poss by spaming, if nothing else 3) as for drama, i dont think we should say that the people shouldn't participate at all, but rather that they should go without losing their tempers and conducting themselves well. if someone feels strongly enough about a CB issue to make a stand about it, as long as they are reasonably logical about it, i dont see why it is really a bad thing. 4) post count is fine, even if 1250 does seem slightly random 5) well, yeah, given 6) exactly. you have to be able to work with people, not try and dominate them. also, not give favoruritism to your friends 7) good summary QUOTE i've yet to see anyone on a power craze. and, to be truthful, most applicants are at least power hungry. true. if people didnt enjoy some form of superiority, the woulnt apply. QUOTE(Heathasm @ Oct 13 2005, 9:38 AM) //edit and bassick wasn't completely inept to become a mod. he was very active and contributed to the community, which is why he got all of the endorsments. and i think the endorsments sort of come into play in those aspects-which leads to why there is a limit to the number of endorsments and how much they should sway the outcome agreed, actually at the time when steven actually applied to be a mod, he did actually deserve the post. it was only after that that he went all crazy sad-ass |
