Nookipedia talk:Staff/Apply

Proposal of Application Process

Hey guys - since the beginning of Nookipedia, staff members have been promoted based on closed discussions amongst current staff members. That system is flawed for several reasons, most important being:

• 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, so here we go. 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)
