First of all, I wanted to thank everyone for being so patient. We really appreciate everyone who applied, and we spent a lot of time deliberating over who would be the best choices for these positions. If you weren't chosen, it doesn't mean you don't have a chance in the future! There were a lot of good candidates, and these are the ones we really felt were ready.

So without any more hesitation, here they are:

People Staff
Nate (NoSex)
Betty (doiink)
Natalia (manny-the-dino)
Javonn (DoubleJ)

Design Staff
Thomas (doublehelix)
Christy (highwayto4355)
Natalia (manny-the-dino)

Congratulations!! flowers.gif

Congrats to Javonn and Thomas. The rest of you I don't know, but congrats, too.

Yeah, I don't really care about design staff, but you'd think at some point people would pick up on the pattern...

Posted by: Elba May 4 2008, 11:54 PM

Those were not the best choices... LMAO rofl1.gif Oh god. This is more like affirmative action for people who suck.

LMAO. It took 3 weeks? Three weeks for this trash. AH. I can't believe Nicki didn't get hired.

Posted by: paperplane May 4 2008, 11:58 PM

Or Tung! I'm not bitching because it's not me, I'm bitching because this is retaaaaaaaaaaaarded

Posted by: Elba May 5 2008, 12:03 AM

Well, they weren't overlooked; they were purposefully not hired, so they had to settle for this shit. Ah, this is hilarious. I am surprised Melie didn't get hired, but I guess they only wanted to f**k with people staff.

Posted by: dispn0ygonekrazy May 5 2008, 12:03 AM

wtf is a manny the dino. is this some trick

Well, technically the aforementioned hired staff are only temporary as of right now, since we are all on a http://www.createblog.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=184095.

If any staff member that chooses to reject their position, or the High staff feels any staff member recently hired should not have been, they can always reject their decision. And then there'll be a high chance of a couple mods that were overlooked being hired.

Edit: And remember, if you want to you could always PM an Admin for full details on why you were not hired.
This is true, but I wanted to mention that this is not what helped make our decisions.

Posted by: DoubleJ May 5 2008, 12:35 AM

Thanks to all that wished me well, and congrats to the other staff members. With that being said, who is this manny person?

Posted by: Rachel May 5 2008, 12:53 AM

Exactly. Who the frick is Manny?


PEE-S, zomgggzz who would have guessed Nate and Betty!?!

Posted by: Tungster May 5 2008, 12:55 AM

me don't knowww know mannyyy...but mee noo some gurll dat she a tru mannhooee dat live near mee...

Posted by: DoubleJ May 5 2008, 01:00 AM

I mean, honestly Nate was an obvious choice. I am however shocked that Melie didn't make it.

Posted by: Tungster May 5 2008, 01:01 AM

Posted by: misoshiru May 5 2008, 01:08 AM

seriously. you guys chose someone that no one knows for people staff. yeah. that's totally going to help bridge the gap between staff and members. good going there with that one.

actually manny - the- dino is very active on the forums, I always see her replies, mostly introductions, I think she would be great, but I personally though Melie should have have people staff and Manny get design staff . but thats just my opinion. :]

Posted by: misoshiru May 5 2008, 01:16 AM

...are you f**king kidding me? i'm going to be really honest right here. manny-the-dino, the general community of cb has no idea of. but for those that have some vague recollection of who she is, she doesn't make an impression. fail right there. melie, while more people know her, she doesn't ingest criticism well nor does she get along that well with people. it's kind of a low EQ thing.

Posted by: DoubleJ May 5 2008, 01:19 AM

Hmmm....is this the jolt that cb needed?! Stay Tuned!

On a serious note. how manny got hired is beyond ridiculous. i thought someone like nicki or even maybe janette should be on there.

here's manny's post stats

Most active in

It says she has 1600 posts. but those are from comments on cbspace, and graphics/layouts. shes only actually made 200 posts on the forum itself, and they are in the sandbox. >_> 34/200 posts = 17%

lol, Tung.

I thought they would hire more. blink.gif


Manny-the-dino is Natalia, btw.

to be completely honest, i thought manny would be hired as design staff because i really do like all the tutorials she's contributed. hmm.

Posted by: mizzkewl06 May 5 2008, 10:24 AM

congrats to everyone! _smile.gif
i may not know any of you, but i'm sure if you got to where you're at you deserve it.

Posted by: Spencer May 5 2008, 02:40 PM

Why does everyone say Nate is an obvious choice? Because he makes clear, coherent posts? All the support that goes towards Nate is just because he has well thought out, long posts. Wow.

Congratulations, everyone. Sorry I haven't been around as much to see all this come completely to fruition (and for the delays as well).


Posted by: dreamstar7 May 5 2008, 05:43 PM

manny-the-dino (whose real name isn't Manny, by the way <_< just like my real name isn't dreamstar) contributes a lot, and I mean A LOT, of tutorials. Have you seen the leaderboard? I mean, she's like five times ahead of anyone else. She also contributes a lot of graphics.

But for that reason, I was also surprised that she was hired for people staff; I thought she'd make a good design staff[er].

Posted by: Elba May 5 2008, 05:45 PM

Contributing tutorials has nothing to do with your presence in the community center. No one knows her. All I know is that she has this annoying ass font, she doesn't seem very bright, and the mods tried really hard not to hire the better cantidates.

Right, that's why I said I was surprised she was hired as people staff, not design staff. I think she's pretty well-known in the resource center; I see her posting a lot in graphic help.

Posted by: stephinika May 5 2008, 05:59 PM

Wow. Not gonna lie, I'm pretty surprised too. Definitely not what I expected. Congrats to those who deserve it though.

Caution to the wind: this is more of a general address, I'm not trying to pick on you Elba.

I think the staff tried really hard to seriously consider all candidates. Frankly, I think a lot of people are being a bit unfair about this whole hiring process. First off, sometimes, when something is being done right, things take a while. Three weeks isn't a stupidly offensive period of time to be taken for consideration. We can all learn to be bit more patient, maybe. Secondly, the choices of the staff here, to me at least, don't seem misinformed or especially faulty. There were a lot of nominations, and, although not all the people I had in mind were hired, a lot of them were. We have to understand that our best friends won't always make the best mods. Further, it's a good idea to get differing perspectives on staff - of course you won't agree with everyone placed on staff (you shouldn't). Lastly, we can't judge anything prematurely. We're all on probationary periods right now and no one can truly be sure of how this is all going to play out. Hopefully things will be exemplary. But, obviously, that's in an ideal situation. What is good is that staff is appropriately preparing (at least) for a transitional period. The hired persons you aren't happy with have sometime before they can actually validate that dubiosity.

Let's just be patient. Let's see how things work out during this probationary period. If you believe the mods you are unhappy with actually underperformed, then at that time it would be wholly appreciated and appropriate if you made your feelings explicit. However, right now, any judgment is a bit premature. Let's just assume, for now, that the staff deliberated and considered all points seriously. Let's just assume that these choices were made in all sincerity and confidence. And, when problems arise, we can address them. But, seriously, this just seems a bit premature.

(P.S. Can Nicki be on staff?)

Posted by: manny-the-dino May 5 2008, 06:09 PM

first off, i'd like to say congrats to everyone! clap.gif
good job, guys! _smile.gif

and i'd like to address the comments people have been making about me & getting on people staff.
yes some of you probaby haven't even heard of me but maybe it's because you don't visit the "tutorials" section of cB that much to know that. i have about 70 photoshop tutorials. i also comment on new graphics i see get accepted on here. yes my total number of posts may be low as of right now but i am working on that. it does say that i am most active in forum games but that was a loooooooong time ago. i have stopped posting in the forum games. now i try & focus on the designer's cafe & graphics help sections. when i was posting in the forum games section of the forums, i did not have the intent to apply for staff. however, i was chosen & am happy & will therefore do my best to help out cB.

btw, my real name is not "manny" as stated in my username. it is Natalia. long story about how i chose my username. tongue.gif

i'm sorry if rejecting your graphic is offending you in any way but; it isn't up to the standards of cb. everyone gets their rejects and accepts.

oh yeah congrats to everyone else i was too busy choking on oreo to say this before. :D

I told you that I understood that. I never bad mouthed you and I'm not offended. Just leave me alone please >.<

Then you inform them just stop talking to you about it I won't submit anything for a while after this... and they still talk to you. Maybe I won't continue to be a member here as I had planned.

I wouldn't go that far. I would just say to be persistent, and ask around, before you submit stuff. I see a few people doing it, and I think that it really helps to get opinions before you submit thing imo. I would hate to see you leave because of that though.

you cannot delete your account. one of the admins has to do that. but if you do not want to contribute to cB anymore, just stop using your account.

Posted by: Synesthesia May 5 2008, 07:20 PM

You can't delete your account, and administrators don't do it either. If you don't want to use your account anymore, just abandon it and don't sign in from now on. But really, you shouldn't leave just because of this one incident. Perhaps the graphic you resubmitted really isn't up to CreateBlog's standards and would have been rejected by any other Design Staff/Head Staff/Administrator. If there's anything more you'd like to say about this, please post in Moderator Performance in Feedback. This topic is getting a bit cluttered.

To thefourpanedwindow - I hope you aren't discouraged over a couple of your graphics getting rejected. I'm not trying to beat a dead horse here, but in a lot of cases, a staff member is not trying to be with their responses; instead they're trying to be helpful. If it's not helpful, you're always welcome to PM another staff member instead. I'm sorry you feel like you need to delete your account so soon, but I appreciate you letting us know what we're doing wrong. Is there any way I can help, though?

to be completely honest, i thought manny would be hired as design staff because i really do like all the tutorials she's contributed. hmm.


maybe we should just clear this up~

manny-the-dino-would you be more comfortable being on design staff? because it sure seems like a lot of people (including me) feel like you would be a better staff member there.

Posted by: superstitious May 5 2008, 07:36 PM

xD I truly appreciate how direct you are, Teesa.

I was surprised to see her on the PS list, not the DS list. But, as I mentioned a bit ago, something came up this weekend and I haven't really been around for a couple of days.

to be honest, i really don't have a preference as to what staff i am on. the main reason why i said i'd go for people staff was because i read somewhere in the forums that i would have to contribute layouts &/or have layout coding knowledge. i dk if that was true or not but that was the main reason why.
but maybe i am better off being on design staff? shrug.gif

i don't think you should have done that because (well, maybe you didn't realize this) people staffers really have to be the most active in the community center and interact with members there.

Who the hell are you?

And manny, will you PLEASE stop editing your post with annoying fonts? Especially now that you're people staff and people actually have to read your posts. It's a real strain on the eyes.

Posted by: brooklyneast05 May 5 2008, 07:58 PM

i don't get why natalie got put on people staff, when design staff seems the obvious choice. especially since she seems to be under the impression that as people staff she would have to contribute like a design staff. so it seems kinda like she thought something different than the actual job. did you guys even talk to her before you decided her position blink.gif

either way, if she's on people and should be on design, it's not her fault. she didn't put herself there.

Posted by: brooklyneast05 May 5 2008, 08:07 PM

i actually don't think it's that obvious to someone who's not on the boards that much. if you went to a website based in design, why would you think that there was a staff that had nothing to do with design? shrugs.

either way, like we said that should have been cleared up by the staff i guess.

I am sorry to manny-the-dino because it's not her fault they decided to just place her in PS. I have no problem with her in DS. Now, who's going to take her spot on PS? Nicki should, because Nicki should have been hired over her to begin with. Or Tung. Or whoever else didn't step down.

You can't delete your account, and administrators don't do it either.

Um, in know for a fact that administrators can delete usernames. I did it all the time, back when I was administrator. It's not that difficult, t just requires a copy and paste of the username and a click. Pretty much. But I guess it's the depends on the decision of whether an admin decides to delete the username or not.

We are not able to do that anymore. The reason is that the forum accounts are linked with the cb4 profile/resource/submission system. So while we CAN delete accounts from the ACP, it causes problems with cb4, and we have therefore been asked not to.

However, Jusun has said that in the future he will have a way for users to delete their own accounts.

Upon further discussion, it became apparent that a good number of us even thought she was applying for design staff in the first place.
