Voting in staff and voting out staff

[laureth]

this is what happens every time

firstly i don't hate rudy but i don't paricularly like him either and that's between me and him and enflame had nothing to do with it so why he got involved dunno, this was just a thought about the current system as cops said
"it's not a democracy, there's not enough public interest to make it one either." this was my thought as i was wondering if people had considered changing the current system or had any ideas about how it could possibly not work or work.
there are people on staff that associate with general players pretty well but i'm just saying there could be people who are more active. need quality people to sustain the decreasing levels of population.
Enflame come up with a idea to do this rather than just oppose ideas...thanks

It's a good idea as it's based like democracy in the real world (that works well, right? :P).

Only problem I see that (like already pointed out) is that it will become a popularity contest (just like the real world :P) whilst not doing any good to the zone.
The one with the biggest mouth saying the best things will get a place among staff. He will have so many responsibilities he will be voted out again in a short time because he can't ever complete everything he said he will take on.
(if you think otherwise, contact me so you can join dev team and prove it to me)

Also, it's already been said, does the average player (read: player that isn't on the forum but only wants to have a fun time) really wants to be bothered with choosing who can be staff from candidates he doesn't even know? Remember, this is an online 2D space game without a daily newspaper and television to brainwash you :P.

Seriously, we as staff already have so much to do (well, at least some of us) that we really can't be bothered with campaigning to keep our staff position. Secondly, (most of us) have a social life aswell haha


If you think someone shouldn't be staff or you have someone who you think would make a good candidate (apart from yourself ofcourse), contact one of our deans or our public relations officer.

In the end, stop derailing peoples threads disoblige/spastic. He was originally trying to be productive in his ideas I think, and you completely shit on it. Your useless members of society, somewhat like elderly people. None of you have done anything good in forums for quite a while except create stupid inside homosexual jokes with one another. While there is a time and place for this, threads that strive to be productive arn't it.

Kthx, see you in the game (yeah right, inactive fucks).

if he was trying to be productive he went about it the wrong way, I didn't know that calling out staffers was the best way to change the whole landscape on how staff works.

As much as you like/hate current staff, there are definitely some staffers on board who can easily make informed decisions about who should be on staff and who shouldn't, no matter how many times they have had to be dickheads to some people in the zone.

What you're trying to get is more "responsible" choices for staff put forward, but as Da1andonly clearly put it, there are far more douchebags that would outweigh the only possible good that would come out of such a system.

You'd have a popularity contest, there'd be less value to staff reputation as everyone thinks if they are popular enough, play enough TWD, hold TWL titles they will make it on board, and that's not the case.

I agree there are some idle staffers who haven't made much contribution, nor have even made the effort to contribute to zone affairs, it should be these people who aren't making an effort that should be axed, right? Well, it depends what "effort" is to staff. If they have a low tolerance for slackers, I'm quite sure that almost half of the staff members you see wouldn't be staff anymore.

I'm not saying this to be a complete pessimist, but it's true. I'm afraid this really wouldn't work, Every staffer is "doing their bit", but that's about as far as things go, this is how the population is maintained, but it's still on a decrease. TW is just not sensible enough for that nor do I think staff are willing take the extra steps, that's the way it is.

I find it somewhat ironic that the only people who have a problem with me are those who cause problems.

So given the number of people that have a problem with me, it implies either of two things:

Previous ban administrators were as useless as tits on a bull,
OR
You people are all fucking arseholes.

I'm thinking the latter.

i think it's more of a case of shoot the messenger, who in this case usually asks to be shot at.

Why does it have to be one or the other? In logic, both can be true at the same time. B)

I make it a point a cause trouble every once in a while, I also hate my usefulness being compared to any sort of "tit", but I happen to think you are swell Rudy. If I could, I would give you a tip like I do my garbage men every 6 months or so.

Yesterday I stopped at a Kohls to buy a pack of socks and ended up spending like 300 bucks and really dont have much to show for it. I got a really sharp looking NY Yankees hat though, which will come in handy outside this summer with the humongous "to-do" list I have compiled for myself. I swore that this year was going to be different when it came to my grass and the quality of life that it leads. With God and the Trench Wars forums as my witness, I WILL have the nicest yard in the neighborhood this year. With that said, I think it is almost time for lunch, since I have been debating between a Grilled cheese and a delicious bowl of Honey Smacks which seems to make my urine smell like a delicious Kelloggs breakfast.

What was this thread about again? Oh, yeah. Fuk democracy, democracy is what caused us Americans to be forced to choose between a woman and a handsome black man for presidency. If you want staff, just say you are female and/or asian and you should be replacing a current SMod within a 6 month time frame.

What a champ.

Okay, clearly you have no idea what you're talking about. Duel Pasta is the cause of all pain, suffering, and violence in the world, and is the sole reason everything has ever gone wrong in the world of subspace. Did you know that he was the cause behind his mother's excessive vomiting while she was pregnant with him, and caused her great pain when delivered? It's a FACT. Remember all those Christian children's funds commercials talking about the death rate of children in backwater countries? His fault.

I blame Duel Pasta for all things. And so should you.

LOL

how come threads always end up talking about rudy
