so, i was talking with someone about this about 2 minutes ago and wanted to know what everyone though of how it went being the first time it was implimented.
i didnt want to put this just randomly in another thread, i wanted it to be seen. so, pros and cons. pros -i liked the idea of nominations. cons -nominations seemed like endorsements which we did away with due to the fact that only people were picking their friends. i did talk to many mods, and noted it for myself too, that mods werent nominating just friends. i was nominated by 3 people i didnt even talk to. -not everyone seems to get their chance. just because they dont stand out, doesnt mean they shouldnt be given a shot. sure, there was the discussion thread, but how much of that was taken in when nominations were made? |

QUOTE(insomniac) member discussion: the community wasnt very active. the people that posted there were mostly people who were nominees, not the rest of the community. also, a lot of the people that werent nominees mentioned their friends. That was only there because a while ago, some members complained about there not being any community input. Personally, I don't think it should've been there at all. But, it's the members' fault if they don't use what they asked for. If everyone was against this way of hiring, why didn't anyone say anything before we did it, and why did the committee vote yes?...It seems like some of you just don't like the system because you feel as if you were overlooked. |

Community input was just a nice thing to have, and just let the members voice if they wanted to. If the community discussion thread wasn't there I wouldn't mind, If the community thread IS there then i wouldn't mind either.

Re-read this topic. http://www.createblog.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=109893 I think there was 3 nays to have it be the way it is now, most everyone wanted it this way. I remember liking the original way of hiring. I actually think this system overlooks people more then before. |
