I'll start with the separate paragragh for each category, if there are no objections.
We have less than 2.5-2 hours left, and I have to leave for an exam. Just write and hopefully someone will come along to edit.
I have no objections
Compact it so that you still cover the main areas, but also compare #3 to the other candidates i.e. When discussing history, point out positivities of #3 and the negativities/why #3 is better in terms of history against other members.
Here's the draft.
I have to eat supper now. Captain, you and anyone else who wishes to can edit it in my absence. You have my vote of confidence. :)Quote:
After careful consideration Team 3SD has selected Candidate #3 as our choice for Cid's Knight. Several candidates were eliminated early from consideration, mainly due to issues with spamming (#2) or personality conflicts (#4).
While we feel that the remaining candidates all could bring some real benefits to the site, Candidate #3 stood out in four areas:
History
Candidate #3 has a member for three years, long enough to know the site rules like the back of their hand. Other candidates have been active longer, but that in of itself is not an indicator of ability.
Activity
Candidate #3’s activity is focused primarily in the gaming forums. However the other remaining candidates also either preferred to post in a different area or the activity level was sporadic. This is not an insurmountable problem, as the candidate could increase activity in other forums, or take care of a particular area, as need be.
Personality
Candidate #3 also gains major points with their personality. Their calm and low-key demeanor would be an asset in dealing with conflict and dissention. The ability to mediate situations would be very helpful in promoting harmony among the members.
Community Spirit
This well respected candidate has a reputation for being helpful. These are important qualities for a Cid's Knight to possess. Other candidates are more popular or friendly, but these qualities are of secondary importance.
In conclusion Candidate #3 seems to be a well-rounded and logical choice for Cid’s Knight, their positive aspects outweigh any negative aspects and it’s easy to see how he/she would benefit the community.
I'll most likely be back within the hour.
This is a good idea. I support it =)Quote:

Community Spirit
This well respected candidate has a reputation for being helpful. These are important qualities for a Cid's Knight to possess. Other candidates are more popular or friendly, but these qualities are of secondary importance in comparison. A helpful member is much better suited for something that involves other people, such as being a CK.
In conclusion Candidate #3 seems to be a well-rounded and logical choice for Cid’s Knight, because their positive aspects outweigh any negative aspects we've seen and we think they'd make a good CK.
I didn't edit out the part about activity, but I do disagree with it. Being a CK isn't a job. They shouldn't need to feel obligated to view other forums just to adjust themselves to the fact that they're a CK.
I left some wriggle room in the language for either case.
Do we want to form a consensus in how we feel about the obligations of a CK on forum activity? We're running short of time.
I don't think many of our members are on at the time, so it would be tough to do that. I think that if somebody besides myself agrees with what I said about activity, we should edit it, and try to replace that piece with something that no more than 1 person will disagree with.
I want to beef up the objections to #2 and #4 in the first paragraph.
Would just removing , as the candidate could increase activity in other forums, or take care of a particular area, as needed be adequate? Or is the tone of the whole paragraph that's the problem?
Any other additions anyone feels strongly about?
Here's another edit, coming up!

After careful consideration Team 3SD has selected Candidate #3 as our choice for Cid's Knight. Several candidates were eliminated early from consideration, such as 2 and 4.
With Candidate number 2, we thought that having a common spammer of a moderator might not be a good idea, even if it's positive in nature or intent. Spamming is something that is something moderators normally frown upon, and they likely break some rules for the sake of fun every once in a while, which can become troublesome for others in the staff.
With candidate number 4, they've gotten in arguments with the staff before, and have claimed to be anti-staff in the past. While they have changed over time, they could still end up making conflicts with the current staff, which sometimes leads to very bad things for the site.
While we feel that the remaining candidates all could bring some real benefits to the site, here is why we believe Candidate 3 to be the best choice:
History
Candidate #3 has a member for three years, long enough to know the site rules like the back of their hand. Other candidates have been active longer, but that in of itself is not an indicator of ability.
Activity
Candidate #3’s activity is focused primarily in the gaming forums. However, the other remaining candidates also either preferred to post in a different area, or they were rarely on at all, so we don't feel that they're preference of the gaming forum to be a problem in comparison to the other candidates.
Personality
Candidate #3 also gains major points with their personality. Their calm and low-key demeanor would be an asset in dealing with conflict and dissention. The ability to mediate situations would be very helpful in promoting harmony among the members.
Community Spirit

Other candidates are more popular or friendly, but these qualities are of secondary importance in comparison. A helpful member is much better suited for something that involves other people, such as being a CK.
In conclusion Candidate #3 seems to be a well-rounded and logical choice for Cid’s Knight, because their positive aspects outweigh any negative aspects we've seen and we think they'd make a good CK.
What do you think of my edits? :3
Sounds good to me. :)
Any other fine tuning that needs doing?
Looks good to me.
I've made enough edits. I think you should give a go at editing that thing! :p
Are you talking to Araciel or me?
