Yes, there's a new API coming, but I have seen many comments about "voting" and the outsiders of the community, so I thought of this; 1) Release staff applications, let anyone apply, unless they have been banned w/o appeal. 2) After a week, send a poll to select people on the server that are VIP+ asking who should become helper. Do not send to people with helper apps open, unless you find a way to not make the people taking the poll not vote for themselves 3) Select the 8 top selected apps, and then send a poll to all the mods. The mods can then vote on whom should be the helpers. 4) Admins look at the 4 top apps chosen, and they can deny them if wanted. If chosen to deny, send another poll with the 4 that were denied at stage 3, plus the number of many that were denied at stage 1 get chosen to move the stage 3. 5) Any apps that get through this process then go into the helper phase.
VIP+ only? DATS RANKIST! There should just be 10 candidates selected and the community votes which one. Candidate with most votes will be integrated into staff team.
Yeah, I chose VIP because it seems like that it is when people are like, a fully fledging part of BCSN
First, this is 100% unrelated to the API. Congratulations On a more serious note: At the moment, many, myself included, feel that the amount of staff we have currently is perfect. If we decide we need more staff, we will let the community vote on the candidates and then current staff will select the new helpers. That is how it could work, anyway.
I feel like we need like one Australian Staff member at least, because we have quite a bit of Autralian players, but they are on their own timezone and have nobody to protect them should something happen. Other than that ITS ALL GOOD FAM.
Only problem with people choosing who they want as staff, is that they won't always pick the people best for the job. They may just pick their friends and assume they'll do good as mod. Just my opinion though. You can do it how you want.
To be honest, I don't think we need ultimately professional staff. I mean, if they can interact well with the community, that's already a big step
