TW Staff Applications anyone?

I'd say the rule of hiring should be 3-4 years experience- they aren't newbs, and they haven't yet developed a giant ego.

But how can you accurately verify how long they have been playing for? People can lie about their usage...and many people will.

I like the idea though.

actually staffbot is very old but the module in staffobt is not old at all, it is like 1-2 months old i believe. we don't throw that many recommendations on there and for 2 people to be hired from it is pretty good. Considering we arent going to be hiring all 10 people at one time.

Hey

Maybe another cool idea would be a nomination system. So if you beleive someone does something out of their way to help other nominate them, and when some one gets an excessive amount of nominations they could be considered for staff?
this could be abused as friends may nominate friends and stuff, but errors should iron each other out.

Oh and first nomination - Pandagirl!, ive never seen a girl type so fast, think how many help calls she could reply to every minute $$$ :greedy:

Any player can view the past scores from pub all the way back to the score reset on Nov 1, 1999. If someone says they started playing x.x.200x, then you can go to that scorereset period and actually see if they have a pub score.

Consider it subspace's way back machine.

How many people do you know of who didn't play in public when they first came to TW? I mean getting 1 kill, 1 death in public, or even getting team flag points.

Theres still a flaw. I once found a name that was played on in 99 that was reset and signed it up. It had 0 hours usage. Only thing I could not do was play elim. So maybe ask the player how much usage they have and have several rooms. one which to enter requires 1000 hours, another 2000 and so on.

As for recruiting new staff -
Have a system like in twd where everyone gets one vote on potential staff. A player has to log into the twd site and vote "yes" "no" "dont know them". This would increase staff to public relations too as the public that cared would know who might be getting into staff. So many times i see a random ZH and wonder who on earth it is.

It would also be a nice way to see if a player is really liked by the trenchwars public. If this system had been implemented, it would definately stop players like Louis logic getting into staff that really shouldnt get past the system in the first place.

[Ewan]

Smods can check usage (I THINK)

[D1st0rt]

As far as I know, on subgame they cannot.

[Kolar]

I don't think that would be useful at all to have players voting on potential staffers. It seems like upper staff just wants to get an idea of who is looking to join staff. I think we could do more then that by using the forum application idea because staffers can discuss and maybe even take some responsibility away from future Dean[s] and be more involved in the process. It's just a more involved and realistic solution then either a web application or a Bot.
