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?

well, i think people should be able to request that mods review them for nomination.

keep same system as we used.

add in a thread where you can request mods individual choose whether they wish to nominate you or not.

like, if we had nominations, then each mod would go and nominate the people they thought would do well.

if someone who feels they should be nominated isn't, they should be able to post somewhere

"i wish to be considered for nomination"

at which i'd (along with the toher mods) would consider if we'd forgoten about them, and mayhaps look through some of thier old posts. if i feel they should be nominated, i'd nominate them. if not, i'd either just not, or PM them and say why i decided not to nominate them.
