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?

pros: the nominations were great because people that wouldnt of normally applied for staff and were very qualified got the right positions

cons: the community input really wasnt there. i would of liked there to be a set number of mods we were going to hire for each staff position and have the community choose out of the nominees with that set number for each position and the votes be manually tallied up with no more changes from the mods

//edit
to my cons
i also think that datru katalyst was modded over friendship and wasnt looked at the same way as the other mods were
