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?

Sammi, I think my point is extremely valid. I really don't think it's about getting SOME of the good candidates, I think it's about getting ALL of them. The point being, Julie and Dani are great for the job, and they WERE noticed, but I feel that there are many other people that would want to and deserved to be noticed, too.

With apps, all that are interested will, like Suzzette said, at least be considered, whereas in the nominations system they may not. Of course, they could always nag a moderator to nominate but that sort of defeats the purpose? Wouldn't we better off with an endorsement system if that were to happen? And if we really, strongly wanted someone to be modded in the apps system, but the person didn't apply, we could always just ask them if they wanted to or not. If the person refuses, that only means that he/she is really not interested. Either way it works.
