This is a thread I've had in mind for a long time now, so I might as well post it. I believe the community should have at least a little say in who gets staff. I mean, if we had a huge staff team of members everyone hated, the community would get toxic real quick. There are of course some staff I put up with even though I am not the best of friends with them. I know many members who I would love to see with a staff tag, even though they are not applying. For me, I'd love to see a few select members. @FairyFxrest @TheMint @jstxn @RadeonX are those members. I believe these 4 would do a fantastic job. You can put former staff on here as well. Who do you want to see as staff on the server? Note: I don't believe this thread should be locked. Of course people will be mad that no one mentions them, but people are mad on threads all the time, like the shipping forums members.
my boy radeon doesn't play anymore nor is going to too busy playing league to get to diamond you go <3
Thing is, bias and popularity would highly influence suggestions, especially from members who have never been staff and therefore do not know what is actually required. Yea, the administration team aren't 100% clear of bias but they know the ins and outs of each role and hire according to what members they feel accurately portray that role. As nice as it would be to tell the administration team "hire this member", even now, my suggestions aren't adequate due to role and rule changes that differ from my knowledge.
Bias and popularity already does influence who becomes staff. Edit: Wow, call me ignorant since I didn't see the second part. My apologies.
I'm no longer interested in becoming a staff member that's why I locked my application for the opportunity. Thanks though for tagging me. I might consider re-applying one day in the future.
I'm sorry to hear that :/ You would have been great if you continued.. I hope you do consider re-applying some day.
That's up for debate though as of now I'll not consider it. There's many reasons behind it one is my school & working schedule is quite busy making me unable to be active. My lack in spelling & grammar sentences that I use it a quite low standard for others. But I'll think of it.
Your are just picking people who you like and in all honestly it should be more so people who are devoted to thriving to be a good staff member not just people who are "popular", etc.
You realize that a lot of "popular members" have been on the forums for a long time and know how they work and what the rules are on the server, right? I don't want someone who's not familiar with the rules as staff. Don't just assume that I'm picking people who I like, I've never talked to Radeon in my life.
He's not doing this for 'being popular.' He knows they have experience and would fulfill a staff ranking well.
I can't help but think that there will be that one guy/gal that will buy people things from the store, then tell em to, idk, vote? for them. Idk what you think but that's the first thing I thought of.
