Whyyyyyyyy

If you can point out your concerns with this post -

No its fine I'm all for discussion/dont mind explaining the reasoning behind it.

The reason we think this is a great idea is based off of a few reasons-

The biggest reason is one that most middlemen fully understand. When we middleman, we usually get users who message us saying "hey, are you busy? Roary can't help us with this type of trade" or "roary isn't really helping us out and being a bit of an ass so we don't want to use him anymore" or even "hey our usual awesome mm roary isn't online so we were wondering if you could help us?"

This is something that I saw quite often when I used to MM more frequently and this kind of stuff actually is important when it comes to OMMs because a lot of staff members won'tsee this kind of feedback about guys who MM, however other middlemen do. So it ideally is an attempt to create something similar to the lower lounge discussion for promotions that leads to polls in USL for new staff members. This way, we get some extra discussion and feedback and users input from people who might have a better viewpoint on the way you conduct yourself as a middleman.

Also, the upper team is only commonly 6-8 people, why not toss on 5 more active opinions from people who know exactly what it means to be an Official Middleman.

I'm fully open for discussion on this, though I see nothing wrong with the idea. Conflict of interest could be used to say that lower level staff members have a bias when talking about new staff members. Its just discussion & extra input, not the real vote.

I'll do my best to take your input into consideration/explain why I stand by the contents of the post

Why must I repeat myself?

Why must I repeat myself?

Because so far all your concerns have been addresses and you've been given sufficient enough response as to why the method we're going to be using is fair and for the best of the community and the people who are applying

Thus, unless there's anything else you want to point out, I see no reason for this thread to remain open/I'm looking for the concerns of anyone else

You haven't addressed my concerns at all.

My concern is that OMMs have no vested interest in allowing new people to become OMMs. If you open it up to a community forum, I feel like that would add some weight to the argument.

Politics are politics. People are always going to try and sway things in their favor. As long as OMMs aren't the only voices that reach voting staffs' ears, I'm cool with it.

And if you are going to start getting more input there is no reason not to get it from everyone.

Hmmmm?

Let's turn it into a popularity contest. >.>

Stop whining just to whine.

This thread is over. We as a staff will still be voting with good reason. We are going to try it out before we discuss it any more. This is clearly a good idea to try out and thats what were going to do.
