That wouldnt really work. 'Cause then we'd have to find other people to take their place.
Aaaand if you guys want people off staff so bad, you should really give feedback as to why they shouldn't be on staff (in the Mod Performances thread).  I agree with what Kaycee said, btw. |

I'm fine with it, I guess. Just as long as no one gets fired.
Reason being: If we have this each month, we'll loose a staff member each month. Which is inconvenient because we'd have to to have hiring sessions like every month. |

I'm not for this idea.
Or maybe make a more appealing name for it. |

^ It could be like a Staff Roast of the Month.
 I mean, this could be a really funny thing as long as no one takes it too personally. No one will get fired though, that's just silly. However, in all the fun we (the staff) could perhaps learn something about ourselves and how we mod in a way that can be both productive and entertaining. Maybe the Member of the Month can be the roastmaster or something. |

^ that is exactly what's in my mind.
The idea isn't entirely bad, it just shows that you have room for improvement. Could be a good thing as long as no personal attacks are involved. |

I think the staff should be supended for 10-20 days, instead of fired.

QUOTE(brownsugar @ Jun 13 2007, 04:15 PM)  That wouldn't make sense. As long as the staff member isn't breaking rules, they wouldn't be suspended. That would be the same staff members suspending members because they dislike them...Hmmmm, when has this happened before... |

to be truthful, when we actually do say something in the mod performance thread, we are torn apart even if we have evidence behind what we are saying. you all hate that we actually say something negative about you and are quick to come and jump on our back in defense. if you all are so open for advice, then take it and work on it rather than getting defensive and trying to find a way to make it look like were wrong.
someone had brought up that real businesses don't have a real worst staff member award, but they also take into consideration what people have to say and do something about it, rather than making excuses to make themselves look better or to defend their company, and that sometimes means firing. just remember, the customer is always right. |

i can understand they feel attacked, but they know what the job asks for and know that not everyone is going to like them. that said, feedback is going to be involved even when there is a thread promoting it.

Do you think having a Worst Staff Member of the Month would be more um, interactive than the Mod Perf. thread?
The way I see it, some mods explain themselves. Getting defensive is if you are angry about it and completely deny it but sometimes, an explanation is necessary. |

I just had an idea.
I think that members should vote for a worst staff member of the month so that the staff can see who is doing badly. Of course, each vote can only be counted if the vote has a reasonable explanation behind it (like evidence from quotes or something similar). So, votes with just a staff member's name will not count as an actual vote. The final "punishment" (whether it will be executed or ont) will be voted on by the staff itself. Everyone in the staff (besides the "winner") will get to vote on whether they think that staff member should be punished or not. If majority in the staff wins, then the punishment will take place. By following this sort of system, it will be a chance for members AND staff to call out one staff member the people disagree with. Even if the staff does not end up giving the "winner" the "prize", I still think it'd be an eye-opener for the winner. |

Because some people won't care if they're elected worst staff member so long as they can continue power tripping.

Too bad all the mods that would criticize the others have been purged from the staff.

Don't have time nor the want to compile a list of quotes/posts that show the power tripping.
Also why not let it run? You shouldn't have anything to be worried about, and a lot of people would rather put in their opinions on an active thread (contest thread) than a moderator rating thread that doesn't receive much activity. |

Yes they should go there to complain, but from past experiences, I would wager to say that a lot more people would bitch and moan about mods on a Worst Staff Member thread.
Also, what about those posts that mysteriously disappear when they attack mods, but the ones that are worded the same way attacking regular members don't go bye bye. I guess mods are better than non-mods. |

I'd think more people would complain about mods if you know, the mods actually did something about it. The mods have no accountability and I've been unfairly targeted several times now.

Well if the only time a post will be removed when it's member vs member, then why do we have so many mods to moderate the forums? It seems to me that there aren't that many posts that need to be taken down (though the posts do arise) and can easily be handled by one person. Seems to me that mod's are more worried about their own reputation than what they're supposed to be doing in the forums and they would rather do their job only to the extent in which it benefits them.

This sounds pretty decent, though idk what kind of "punishment" we could decide on... But yeah, it would definitely be an eye-opener. Or maybe instead of all the staff voting what the punishment should be, it could just be admins/head staff who decide.  I just wish we got some real constructive criticism in the Mod Performance thread, so we could do something about our performance..  QUOTE(shotgunFUNERAL @ Jun 14 2007, 12:50 PM) they're not capable of doing that because they're all friends and would think it's unfair. I disagree, I think atleast most of us would be capable of doing so. |

The fact that mods seemingly watch their own back while paying little attention to others who are receiving the exact same (if not worse) bashing that would cause the moderator to delete the post.
If kryo, or anyone else for that matter, changed a quote making it funny at the other person's expense, no one would delete that post(even if he didn't make a note in his post that he edited it). |

What about when mods are posting in a thread in which heavy member bashing is occurring? Or since it isn't their post I guess it isn't their responsibility.

The quote changing just shows how uptight you are about all of this, but I'll let that slide. No one would have been stupid enough to misinterpret that as you saying it, but whatever.

A. I know who Jusun is.
B. I didn't say that mods were participating in the member bashing. C. Kryo's quote wasn't that bad. Doesn't sound too lenient to me. But what do I matter, I'm not a mod. |
