How long you've been on the forum really doesn't count towards how fit you are to take up the job. There are people that have been here over two years that wouldn't be fit to take part, but people that have been here less that would. Instead of basing it on account age, how about it just basing it on how capable people are for the position and leave it at that?
Why is it that everyone is voting yes, but only a small amount of people actually understand? (Cueball, that obviously means you understand) Postcount shouldn't account for any rank in forums, because people would start raising postcount, which is like asking for spam.
What I also love, is how people are saying "Pick me! Pick
ME!" when that is the behavior that prevents them from being any higher on whatever scale this forum takes on (Staff, Moderators, Administrators). If you ask to be a moderator, you aren't going to be one, obviously, because that is the childish action they expect people who are unfit to have that responsibility, reveal they can't do it. Honestly, if Mystic put up a poll, and said, "Who do you think should be our next Administrator?", there would be maybe 2 or 3 people voting for someone they feel is responsible, and many others would vote for themselves (not even jokingly).
Stop making lists, because we
still don't know if they care or not. Lists will cause everyone to argue about, "omg who shuld be next i think i shuld but hey u try to find som1 better". It doesn't help anything! The last thing we need is a huge arguement, and have 10+ members being banned for "flaming". Not to mention, the idea would be scrapped if that happened. The Administrators will pick whom they see fit.
Now, I will make a list of people I think
shouldn't be chosen:
- Users starting lists of people they
should, and including themselves
- Users nominating themselves
- Users who have joined less than 3 months ago
- Users that do not use proper grammar (because, that is a rule)
- Users whom often start a disagreement between themselves and others
- Users that are just hungry for power
- Users creating idiotic ideas of how the group should be chosen
- Users who pick favorites
- Users who pick enemies (users they hate, so they treat them badly even when nothing wrong has happened)
If you were expecting names, you are sadly mistaken, as that would be rude (on the one side), and also would make me a hypocrite. To be a moderator, you need to be able to use your powers wisely, am I right? In order to do that, you need to have certain qualities, like leadership, honesty, and intelligence (although it may not be a quality, and actually an attribute).
Remember, we aren't discussing, "omg who should be picked", we are discussing, how it would work, if the Administrators will impliment it, how efficient it is, etc.
Stop with the lists.
Edit: I think the "Banana Basket" should be called, "New User Wads/Socs" or something along that line.
