What's 'the problem'? THERE IS NO PROBLEM! Some people personally don't agree with some of the hirings so they says there's a problem, that staff is corrupt for recruiting someone not them and and changes have to be made. Perhaps they like the fact they see themselves as the rebel for the people, I don't know I'm not a psychologist.
I'll be the first to admit staff is not a hard job. Its hard to do it well, but whats involved is itself not difficult. Therefore we don't need uber-leet vets with an A* in fifteen computing qualifications, no sun-tan (and a CISCO degree). Anyone on staff picks it up within the first day or so and gors on from there. The way staff is structured is that the least responsibility and least difficult jobs are given to the newer staff, the zh's, so that they pick up what is happening and are at a reasonable standard before they are promoted. Therefore just about anyone can do the job. (However I feel that robohelp is stopping zh's getting any real experience or preparation for being an er as 50% of hosting is all about how to talk to and handle the participants, and if they are just working a bot then they're not going to be as good a host as they possibly could be. Perhaps limit the amount of times they could use robohelp?)
People get sacked and people get banned. Of course they're not over the moon about it but chances are htey were axed or banned for a reason, its just that there is a growing culture in this community to try and publically humiliate the 'offenders'. This This threads usually fall flat because the person who performed the act usually comes along and says why it happened, but all the same these threads give a bad relfection on staff and the aforementioned rebels start getting all wet and join in the protest. These also fall flat when the person who started the original thread protesting at their mistreatment gets settled and they've got nothing left to rebel against.
There is nothing majorly wrong with staff, get over it.
