Nookipedia talk:Staff/Apply
From Nookipedia, the Animal Crossing wiki
Proposal of Application Process
Hey guys - since the beginning of Nookipedia, staff members have been promoted based on closed discussions amongst current staff members. Our system is flawed for several reasons, most important being:
- Discussions took place on the Bulletin Board, which is unattached from the wiki and, as was seen with the recent downtime, caused hold-ups
- Editors could not easily see the discussions regarding why they were or weren't promoted
- It's hard for editors to "apply" for a staff position, since there is no formal process
A more formal, open process has been in the back of everyone's minds for a while, but it was never put into action (until now). I've created an application page, which revolves around these basic principles:
- A user can apply themselves or nominate someone else for a position, with their permission
- Editors can comment and any staff members vote
- A Director, Bureaucrat, or Administrator, a week after the nomination, determines whether a promotion is successful, based on staff votes, and also on editor comments
This is all tentative and up for discussion. It's what I think is the best system, but if anyone else has suggestions, comments, or changes, please say so! Feel free to edit the page, too. Thanks guys. ~SuperHamster Talk 21:33, 10 November 2012 (EST)
