Becoming a mod......., Read and give feedback!!! Options

[*mzkandi*]

Ok, a discussion that started backstage was how mods would be chosen. This ideas that came up were:

1) Hold a hiring sessionn - This would be a traditional hiring session everyone is accompanied with. It would include the applicant meeting the set requirements and writing out an application of why they feel they should be chosen as a mod.

2) Staff hand pick the potential new staff candidates and hold a mini vote amongst themselves

3) Let the staff and the community nominate who they think would make a qualfied applicant for a staff postion. Should these nominees agree, they would go on about actually applying for a staff postion in the traditional format.

All of the above would still have to met the set requirements approved by the bylaws in order to apply.

So, discuss.

Yes please, Sandra. :D

I agree with James. It could end up to be a popularity contest or whatever, but what would that show? That would show that the person is active and is liked. His/her posts probably interest a lot of people. I think thats a pretty good starting point.

Of course, if it were only that, we'd be screwed. After the community votes, the nominations should be passed to the moderators and head staff. They would then determine which nominees are best suited for the job.

Don't give me "But it'll be a popularity contest!" Chances are that if a person is popular, s/he must have done something right. Not many idiots are that popular, if you didn't notice.
