Imo, these alternates, are very comparable to rebounds. Girl breaks up with guy. Guy is sad and lonely, goes for the another girl as a rebound.

IMO, there should be a few "alternate" or backup staff always on standby, who can step in when there are major shortages of staff. and, when it's time to apply for staff, they can either apply, or just step back down.
or..what i'm saying is, that the few "alternate" staff should be kept the same. |

Maybe we could just keep this simple and do a temp hire of temp jobs - no permament alternative staff... when people leave, we'd constantly be replacing them.

I think its a good idea overall. Yes there are details we would have to figure out but it would be a good idea. I think when staff is as low as it is now you can use the help you can get. Allowing them to verbally warn but not officially warn someone sounds good to me.
And if 'the comebacks" is really the name... I'm about to step down and be an alternate for a few days so I can be a "comeback". |

Verbally Warn? LOL. Whats the point of verbally warning someone, if you can't even warn them officially. It's not like they will listen to you if you got no powaaaahhh.

the idea here is that the staff works as a team.

^ Yes - TEAM. And that is happening very well at the moment, so most likely this could be a great success.

It's not like they will listen to you if you got no powaaaahhh. Actually it sets up for a legitimate warning. Staff wants people to be verbally warned first, so they know that what they're doing is warnable. It's because people are so naive and don't know that cussing at people and fighting isn't desired amongst the community. I love verbal warnings! So practical! |

I really like this idea. Like what's already been said, there's a few things that need to be worked out. I think that the staff member should have some say in who would step up and do their job.

QUOTE(Mulder @ Oct 17 2007, 12:53 PM) I really like this idea. Most new mods have to go through an adjustment period, and this way, hopefully by the time they were "full" mods they would be fully ..indoctrinated. plus, some people who are great candidates for mods but perhaps are lacking other requirements can fill these positions? Oh yeah I agree, it would be good practice. I like this idea I rather be a temp mode. Like mode in training. |

Sounds like a good idea, but there are so many ways in which this could fail.
I think a mentor's position should be somewhat similar to an alternative. If the staff is lacking and cannot hire some one right away, there are a few mentors that obviously know what they're doing and would be able to take over for maybe a month or so... until the next official or unofficial hiring. |

QUOTE(Insurmountable @ Oct 17 2007, 03:31 PM) Alright that sounds good  Just have the ability to close&merge topics and simple things.Back on this subject, What about previous mods that have been hired before? Would they have to go through this training (whatever you want to call it) period? |

QUOTE(Michelle @ Oct 17 2007, 10:36 PM) Sounds like a good idea, but there are so many ways in which this could fail. I was thinking this too. Mentors are also capable of doing the job as a "temp" mod. If they're not willing, I'd look for someone else from the community.I think a mentor's position should be somewhat similar to an alternative. If the staff is lacking and cannot hire some one right away, there are a few mentors that obviously know what they're doing and would be able to take over for maybe a month or so... until the next official or unofficial hiring. I think this idea will come in handy if someone goes on an extended leave. If the staff is low on numbers, I don't see the point in having alternates or temps. Might as well hire a few more people that will commit. Lucy, it's not a training period per se. It's just so people can fill in positions when it's really needed not when a new group of people are hired and need to learn the ropes. |

Yea also I think someone watches over or kind of just looks over the others shoulders so to speak when they first get on staff, if they see any little problems they contact them about it and tell them what they should do instead or something.
I never had anyone do that but uh I heard it was going on from the last hiring?

yeah there should be some kind of buddy-system. or every new staff member should have a "mentor." not necessarily from the mentor group, just another staff mentor that will kind of "train" them or keep an eye on their mod activities.

^ Thats usually how it goes down (sorta), though.. idk if anyone 'mentored' the last group to be hired.
Anyway, the Alternates idea sound good. I think it would work out pretty well. |

Haha, that's what sort of happens. Each new staff member picks a "mentor" and when in need, the newbie asks the mentor for help. I don't think it went as far as mentors observing their mentees and their mod activities but that would be good.

i remember that :) but...
nobody wanted to be my mentor :(... JK. If I can remember clearly, Kara was mine! :P Although those were more to seek advice to, but now also for them to watch over the new staff members would be swell. |
