Problem I've noticed

Well I mean that's kinda how it is in the real world... If I apply for some corporate company, they're not going to care about what that hobo said on the street, or what that lady at the coffee shop says- let alone asks. They're going to value the opinion of their workers, and if they believe the candidate can get the job done, boom. Job. Unless they're like a felon or something... then no job.

And no, it's not as biased as you think it is. Staff members just have a heavier say.

Administrators look at their records, their history, and they may ask around in a few places. They monitor candidates closely.



But anyways, this isn't that much of an issue right now... Brawl is headed down the toilet along with several other servers.

 

Errr, no. Your employer does not require the workers insight because they haven't worked with you yet and because you haven't worked with them. They're also not going to ask a hobo on the street because that's completely irrelevant.

Sounds pretty biased to me. You can suck up to staff members for their vote, thus making you look better and giving you more +1s. Although votes aren't the only thing higher ups take into consideration when choosing staff, it looks pretty appealing to the community.

+1.

This has been a problem in the past but I don't really think there's a way to prevent it. You can basically do anything to try and get staff. You just have to deal with it.

 

I agree.

Thanks that you mentioned me? Haha, but seriously, your PM did actually helped as it was longer and more detailed than the mod responses. Of course, people like you kinda know what to do and critize the best you can. Having a public response section would be a good idea, but I'd suggest that only people with a certain amount of posts / likes can reply in there, that is because players could make new accounts or inexperienced players wouldnt fairly vote.
+1 though.

 

In the real world, on your job applications you may add people on it who the company may contact to see how good of a worker you are. (Most likely previous employers) Why don't we make the Mod Applications like that? Well, idk. But I think we should. Or at least make Ehvahn be able to reply to mod applications. He is a good, nice guy who always votes the truth no matter what has happened between you and him in the past. This would make brawl so much more thriving if we have an old Mod helping pick and choose the new staff team. The new staff team pick clearly on their personal experience with the player. If the Staff Member hates you, they will give you a -1. If they are friends with you, they will give you a +1. And we all know if Ritzy gives a -1, it's an automatic deny. (Cuddled and him are liek weird and I think they like each other. That would be illegal tho.

 

It's just that not all of the community is mature.

But I agree somewhat.

Off topic: I feel like staff (JMOD and MOD) are taking applicants too easy. ...what I mean/feel is that the applicants intellectual skill is not as good as it needs to be, but it's ignored.

Spoiler: Intellectual skill

What I mean by this is the way the applicant would progress in a real situtation. e.g. a conflict that is two sided.

Fortunetly @Canoodle is doing a great job. @BlueGuyARed deserves a shoutout too.

Some applicants are like little enthusiastic children; they promise to behave well but when they reach their goal, moral declines and they forget about the rules.
