the moderator hiring process, the completion of Options

[micron]

there are a couple of things you guys missed when voting in the mod hiring process. it should be more comprehensive and should include:

-alloted time for the different steps of the process, for example, one week for nominations, three days for nominees accepting... etc
-where its being held and that a supplimentary discussion topic will be created in the lounge
-how exactly will admins come up with the final decisions? its better that we make everything transparent.



a tip when writing / amending bylaws, remember to ask and include:

-why? why do we need this?
-what? all the whats, ie what abilities do have members have?
-when? when should it take place?
-who? who should be involved?
-where? where should it take place?
-how? how exactly will it take place?

another from backstage,

Well, the community can only vote for one, out of the present nominations.

Then, Heads & Admins take both the input from the mods and the input from the community along with their own thoughts on the nominees and deliberate from there, similar to past deliberations.

i know. hmm, i guess im not doing a good job explaining.

the idea is good and all, but a problem arises if there's an exceptionally qualified person out of the nominees. for example, let say that theres four nominees to vote from. all of them are qualified, but one is exceptionally qualified. because only one person can be voted, the exceptionally qualified person will end up with most of the votes. thats all good and all for the exceptionally qualified person, but for the other three, who in this example are still qualified, their votes will be under represented, giving a false sense that they were not wanted as staff members by the community.

what i am trying to say is that i do not agree with the principle of the system. a system should be devised to ask 'are they qualified?' rather than 'who is most qualified?'. a 'who are the "x" most qualified?' can work, where "x" is the number of positions available.


and what do you mean by 'input from the mods and the input from the community'? a set standard way of deciding among the head+admins should be outlined. im trying to leave out all ambiguities...
