Staff Members: Election by Senior Members and Above

[MJM]

I have always found this curiously puzzling ...
Company provides interactive software, demonstrates usefullness and functions of application on own site.

Software includes ability to take polls.

Company rarely uses polls to demonstrate it's value or further develop the features' usefulness.

Now who wants to be called a designer in prison?

Without the builders, where would the architect be? They both are equally important and need one another.

What about the surveyers? Would that be a senior member like myself?

Surveyors are important, too. But only if they have never done prison time. :cross-eyed:

As for the original topic of the thread, voting on staff, I've seen many boards try it, and very few succeed. It often becomes a popularity contest with members infighting and 'campaigning' and has little to do with who is best of the job.

Do you think individuals would spend a lot of time on campaigning for a position, the duties of which they were not really going to fulfill?

What the flipping heck is going on around here?

On my site we use a simple vBulletin feature if someone wants to make a complaint. It's called the Contact Us page.

I strongly suggest that instead of complaining like this, and possibly upseting people of a sensitive nature, that you start using the Contact Us page to make any complaints. That way it will be dealt with by the people who can deal with it appropraiately - namely the site administrators.

Does it matter if someone is a coder ro a designer? a staff member or a user? a regular member like myself? no it doesn't.

Everyone should just take a chill pill and stop worrying about who does what and whyw itht he staff. Thats the site administrators resposibilitty and I am sure that they know what they are doing. IF you want to ever have half a hope of becomeing staff, you must first learn to act responsibly. Noone anyweher will have people on their staff who are irresponsible and immature regardless of if it is a webiste, or a real life company.

The most important thing is that everyone leanrs to get along and stops all the bickering that is going on.

Before suggesting anything and even before posting, please read through the thread, as you, judging from your post, have no slightest idea of what's going on. That includes both the reasons for this thread and what was posted by others (staff and non-staff) afterwards.

Yeah, but this is a bit different. No serve terms and preservation of senior administrators is what wasn't there during presidential elections...

Regardless, Gary has a point. By creating these numerous threads taunting the already sensitive idea of what the general criteria to become a staff member is, you are doing nothing to formulate and build a community, more so you are dividing it between those who are in favour of a forum run by the staff, and those who want the forum "ran" by the contributors.
