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.

Roar, torn between 1 and 3. I personally like 3 because it gives the community more say. As Gigi was saying, you need to be somewhat popular/known to be a good people staff. I also think that with 3, we get to see who staff wants to work with. Yes, it might turn out to be a popularity contest, but in the end, only the head honchos have the say in it. Also, to avoid the whole "Hey nominate me", just asking friends thing, why don't we say you have to be nominated by like 3-5 members and 1-3 staff. That way, we know that more than just the persons friends think they are good.

1 is also good because that just takes all the scare of popularity. It also doesn't put restrictions on who can apply and who can not apply. It is almost like a free for all.


I think I am leaning more towards three.

This (# 3) sounds like endorsing all over again.....but I get what you're saying.

Yeah, pretty much. If people are so worried about popularity, if you at least have a certain number of people nominate you, then maybe you actually deserve the job. Instead of having a thread, because people jump on bandwagons, we could set up system of nominating, like a PM system or something. ex)I make an account specifically for people to PM me their nominations. PM would just simply have the person who they are nominating in the title and thats it.
