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?

ok guys, discussion is good and all, but the alloted times, proccesses, etc, should be formalized into the bylaws. thats why i started this topic, to include the specifics into the bylaws to iron out all the ambiguities.

also, the polling system WILL NOT WORK, since people can only vote for ONE candidate, favoring the exceptionally qualified above all others. not to mention results can easily be manipulated by registering multiple accounts to place a vote. unless the bylaws committee come up with something else, im considering skipping that entire process. please keep in mind that this is perfectly okay, as the bylaws currently give a working guideline more than anything else, at least until it is finalized. to be finalized, it it must be approved by the admins + me. so please please mindful of the admins + my requests.

and the comment regarding why the nominations are in public - i purposefully made it public, so that everyone can scrutinize each staff members nominee's. because they are accountable for their decisions, this will lead to, hopefully, more qualified nominee's.
