Staff Members: Election by Senior Members and Above
 
I have noticed that many of the choices that were made for coding and design teams are not great. The reason is, many of these newly elected members are not even advanced coders / designers, many of them have released at most one or two works with a total of no more than 10 installs. Knowing some of them in person, I have enough basis to state with confidence that many of these members are in no way qualified for their positions based on their experience (not speaking about work).

That is disturbing. I am sure that most of us don't want this site to be run by a bunch of newbies. I alone could name plently of members who would be much more qualified for coding and design positions than those individuals that were chosen.

Do not get my intentions wrong - I do not wish to be neither on a coding nor on a design team at this time, but what do you think about reverting staff changes and having members nominate those who members consider to be worthy as well as denominate those who members consider to be not? I am sure that would increase the overall progress and make this community a lot stronger, and I'm really hoping that this won't get deleted without reasonable amount of prior discussion.

Agreed. I believe i mentioned this in another thread. No offense to anyone. However, i'm just trying to figure out what everyone's "vote" is based on.

New Staff members were NOT only picked because of their coding abilities or any one single reason. Many reasons were taken into account and everyone was looked at very closely before they were picked for any one team. I stand by every one of the coding team nominations and they will stay in their positions.

Just because they don't have work released here doesn't mean they lack design/coding skills.

Believe it or not, this is an honest question. So you can add someone to the designing or coding team regardless of ability, just if they're a good person?

No what he meant to say from what I understand is that there are other factors besides his or her coding/designing abilities as to if he or she will get on staff.

I would not do this on a forum I ran, and I would not expect those who run this one to do it either.

You have missed a part of my post. Let me quote:

I understand the position of the staff on this, but my post was directed mostly at non-staff. I am only asking staff members to hear out what non-staff members will say. You can always respond with a final decision afterwards. Thanks.

As for other factors for election, can these factors be made public so that we can discuss them?

If you ensure your own safety and create a seperate group of staff that can be elected or brought down, I don't see why not.

Zachery 06-02-2006 07:56 PM

Anthony, what makes you totally quailfied to make judgements on other peoples skills? Are you some master coder who knows 10 coding languages and has several degrees and 8+ years of expeicing in not only school but real world work?

Thank you, Dan. At least someone read my entire post. ;)
