[Denied] Update to staff applications.

Apologies, I was making the assumption that you understood how the voting process goes. I forget that you’ve never volunteered for any sort of community position.

When someone submits an application, each voter is required to list yes/no and their reasoning why.

If they are declined, the team leader (CDT leader, or in staff application context, the global who posts the application for voting) contacts the applicant, lists the various concerns, and gives them an opportunity to rebuttal.

It’s easy, quick, streamlined, fair, and doesn’t require each staff member to contact the applicant directly.

I don’t think anyone is suggesting that every voting member needs to contact the applicant so that he/she can rebuttal. Lol

I understand you have no context, so it’s not fair to expect you to understand. I’ve been on CDT for over two years and the rebuttal process is very easy and fair. It’s worthwhile and does not take any additional amount of significant effort.

 

My posts addressed your concerns. I even referenced an existing process (CDT voting) in which the active rebuttal process is beneficial, easy, and effective. You’re basing your argument on hypotheticals and assumptions.

Your mind is clearly made up, I’m not going to keep arguing back and forth.

This is my last post on the matter. Others can read and make decisions based on our convo.

Super healthy and positive idea.

How often do people even apply for mod? Do the mods even get paid? Seems like making them do more stuff for little benefit. Could this also slow down the application process or stop most staff from even voting in it? If they have to write up a reason why they were denied might bog it down.

[DENIED] Allow commucating with applicants in moderator applications

Based off this it seems people are given a general outline is that only some people who get that message? If mods have to give specific examples it would really slow it down and be way too much work imo.

 

I’d say less than expected amount of people are applying. Though voting is pretty straightforward.

Staff members do not get paid. Though signature rentals do earn you quite a bit.

I think you’re exaggerating the process. Getting applicants and properly working in staff members should have a very high priority. The communication between staff members and applicants matters. Now sure there’s only so much you can do, but based on my own experience I can say for certain it can improve.

Being a staff member is a volunteer position. If you can’t handle the ‘workload’ you can simply resign. Or be inactive, like so many do.
