QUOTE(mzkandi @ Oct 12 2005, 5:44 PM) ^ Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. The most obivious issue for discussion would be hiring. So why not make a seperate thread so we can all start brain storming ideas. We can also make seperate threads for other things we would like to discuss.  alright, so kiera makes a good point as quoted above. hiring is what everyone disagrees on. lets discuss what we think here. |

QUOTE(Spiritual Winged Aura @ Oct 15 2005, 1:14 AM) Hm. What about putting those so called “future mod” in a another group as label? Let them stand out in the crowd and prove themselves that they can provide dedications and contributions to the community for a month or so with no moderator power yet. The roles of moderator should be given and followed too! The moderators, half moderators, and administrations will decide whether they can actually lend them the power. This idea came out of my creativity.  But, I’m afraid that this person would get so sick and tired of createBlog after awhile so... they might decided to ruin our community. Everyone would panic just like when createBlog was hacked about a couple of months ago. *Drools* banana. Hahaha no. I should be more open, but honestly...just no. I think the 2 month rule sounds good. Any longer would be excessive, but they should be here at least that long to get to know things. It's not hard to stay for 2 months- I joined a forum in July intending to only post once, and I'm still on there now. |

but didnt we actually slightly consider doing that for certain people last time...not last time the time before-giving someone a trial run as a mod and seeing how they do (accept they wouldnt have backstage access or something like that) . . .

QUOTE(disco infiltrator @ Oct 15 2005, 12:48 AM) How is that any different than making it a requirement? In fact, that's more discouraging.. We don't need to change every little thing about CB..some things are fine the way they are.. ^exactly. you know, we dont' need to change everything and bind every little thing with laws. |

yea.
i meant can anyone explain why an arbitrary limit is better than just letting the selection process take care of it. i know you explained stuff about dissapointments and stuff... but that's not call for a two month limit... that'd be like two weeks. |

Well then can you explain to me what's so bad about a limit? Why it's so important that it be changed?

becuase just because you've only been a member for a month doesn't mean you're not fit to be a mod.
and if you're not known by then, i doubt the selection committee will choose you. |

well, i'm pretty sure i can't vote. i'm not on the committee.
but 2 months is arbitrary and too long. one month would be a nice compromise tho... |

QUOTE(Heathasm @ Oct 16 2005, 4:25 PM) ok, aye! hahaha....cute. But I say nay.. Its a bit unlikely someone would get hired after being here for only 2 months, especially compared to candadites that have been here a bit longer, proven themselves longer, and contributed longer. Now 3- 4 months would be more significant, imo. |

Michael's been here not too long...2 1/2 months I think? Maybe 3? Most of us considered him an extremely good canditate.
I think 2 is good. It gives a person enough time to be noticed and prove themselves. |

Well, the first time he applied he had only been here for 2 months. We had a vote on a new People Staff and he was second (to you) sooo..
