Staff Members: Election by Senior Members and Above

[smacklan]

Good post Brad and I think things are being handled just fine for what it's worth

I'm not really gonna get involved in this, but I have to ask.... everyone here is an vbulletin owner - unless they're just listed on someone else's licence - and I dunno about you, but I wouldn't have members dictating to me who should staff a forum they don't own *shrug*

flame away

I wouldn't have members dictate who is choosen for staff either. More often than not, the person that's been choosen for a staff position is the correct decison (unless you choose me). So all in all, it's been a trying day and it's getting rather hot so thumbs up.

Though I would train the staff up on forum structuring.

Yes, but it's knowing when and how to use them that makes the difference.

This isn't true (referring to always). Many web-designers can and do code.

What solution?? The teams leaders are the team leaders. The teams have been chosen. The staff is what it is. Y'all aren't going to change that by publicly questioning why who was put on which team, by telling certain ones that either their coding, or design skills aren't "good enough" for them to be on staff.

Geezus people... why don't y'all stop posting these ridiculously inane threads, and let these people DO what they were put on staff do DO, rather than wasting their time making them defend themselves. I thought y'all wanted the "feel" of .org to get better. THIS ain't doing it.

Let them deny it all they want to... I think that's exactly what this is about

I wondered why you had all gone quiet.

I didn't read this whole thread.. the other threads wore me out, but instead of having members choose the staff I think you should make sure you have input from the current staff. You should also make sure that your staff are people who will tell it like it is (to you, not to us members, we like the sugar coating) and that they aren't just 'yes men'.
