new hiring process, pros and cons Options

[*incoherent*]

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?

^yah i agree mods should stand out to be good leaders. But sometimes people do get overlooked when they are exceptionally qualified. Hey, you're talking to the girl that overlooked Michael, as I said in the post above. And you can easily overlook someone who would be a good staff member for myspace or xanga.
What i liked about the applications is that it gave everyone a fair chance, and even if that person didn't make it, atleast people recognize that you would like to be a part of the team and are intersted in helping out. That helps especially when the next hiring comes around, and that person might be reconsidered.
