Candidate 1 - I like this guy because he has been around. He has seen how the forums evolve and change as time goes on as well as how moderation has flowed through out the years.

Part of the problem with this guy is that he only goes to the general areas(at least now) and is not insanely active.

Not really being active with newer members is also a big problem because those are were most of the problems one would have to deal with comes up. They are new, inexperience with the rules and the flow of EoFF. Old members know the limits and know the boundries better.


Candidate 2 - This person I like a lot. Because most of the problems will come from newer members, it is always good to have a fresh popular face on the staff. Spam and immature is not that big of a deal. Being new he will grow into it. It isn't that big of a deal.

He is active in all forums and eventually people just get sick of the same threads in FF1-12 and start to stick to just general.

Old people not knowing him isn't a concern either...that is why BoB and Kawaii are still on staff...so that old people don't have to change their ways ;D

He is new so who knows how long that enthusiasm will change but for now he seems pretty good.


Candidate 3 - General Forums are the most active and he doesn't post there. I think he will eventually. It is a good idea to have a person in the other forums that is active there and has been for a decent amount of time.

Even though a lot of the other activity in the generals is low, having a person who knows the flow of the other forums very well out wieghs that.

Candidate 4 - This could be a fun person to put on the staff but he is less of what other candidates are. His biggest prospect is that he was anti-staff and probably fought with them all the time. This is a big plus because he knows that line of thinking and how to handle those people. I think he is overall one of the weakest candidates as there are already jokesters on the staff ;D

Candidate 5 - Non-confrontational is a bad thing but he isn't the person who would go out there and defuse a problem. There are plenty of others to do that. Part of the staffs job is more than that. It is helping to promote the community and keep it active and interesting. That is always a good thing and another person like this on the staff is always a good thing. Spiking inactivity isn't always a bad thing as far as I am concerned. Big tests at school need studing for, vaction, business flights. People have a life outside the forum but he keeps coming back and since he isn't the enforcer type, this spiking inactivity is not as big of a concern.

I like the order of

Part of the problem I think you all are having is thinking that this person needs all the best qualities of a staff member instead of thinking where the holes on the staff need to be filled. The staff works as a unit and not a bunch of solo individuals.

Hey....BoB...can we get some made up statistics on where coverage gaps in the staff are ;D You are the stat man XD
