Well here are my thoughts on the members. In an effort to encourage some form of universal rating I'll be using the criteria I initially suggested;

- History ; Has the user ever been in trouble? Have they exceeded in some way?
- Activity ; How often are they on? Do they post often?
- Personality ; Is the person suitable material? Are they mature?
- Community Spirit ; Are they liked much within the community? Will they interact well with other members as a CK?

Candidate 1 -

History: This person has been here for a long time, suggesting they know the forum and it's members well. They haven't done anything much for the community directly, but they do post in Feedback meaning they have probably contributed to improving the community in some way.
Activity: They have a moderate rate of activity, but really a CK doesn't need to be around all the time. Since they are mainly in the general/feedback catagories that might suggest they won't spend much time moderating the other gaming forums.
Personality: Is well liked and respected, suggesting they are probably smart and capable as many people who stay around for such lengths of time are usually on-the-ball types. They have a unique personality and outlook, which could be good for initiative but may cause some tension with the majority of the staff
Community Spirit: The biggest problem is that they have spent little time interacting with newer members. It shows they may have issues caring about the "little people". The majority of younger members may see them as some kind of malevolent "elitist" presence

Candidate 2

History: Is a newer member but has been here for a year so they will know the forum rules well. They have probably been in trouble for spamming or being immature in the past
Activity: They are here an awful lot which is good but not a necessary pre-requisite. Their high volume of posts suggests they browse most topics, meaning they'd be more likely to spot any perps. Their tendancy to General Chat is good in some ways since it's the most active forum, but they may let other forums slide
Personality: They are friendly which is always a bonus when dealing with a community, but their immaturity would be a major issue. CK's need to be shown to not fall into "bad behaviour"
Community Spirit: They have a good repour with the newer members, which is probably more important since they're more likely to be the ones to watch than oldbies.

Candidate 3

History: They've been around for three years so they will know the community and it's rules well. They have given a lot of gaming help in the past, meaning they will be respected by the community at large. Their lack of participation in big "events" is a downfall as it suggests they may not deal well with bigger gatherings and groups
Activity: A lot of focus in the gaming forums than general is a problem, since most issues occur in the general forums. But they are on a lot already which is a bonus, and they will most likely keep a very close eye on the gaming forums, which together constitute more work than the general forums
Personality: Their calmness is suggestive of a levelled-headed type, as well as their gaming knowledge showing they are prepared to help others. I can see no disadvantage to this person apart from their lack of attending big events, showing they may be more of a "loner"
Community Spirit: As mentioned above the fact they don't participate in events is an issue, but they are respected which is good

Candidate 4

History: A top poster, but only in general chat. This is an issue since it shows little to no knowledge of the gaming forums
Activity: Having won many ciddies and been a top poster they are obviously well-known and liked. Again though this applied exclusively to the general forums. The fact they have a previous "record" with the staff is also an issue, suggesting a problem with authority and taking things seriously
Personality: Fun and liked, so that will give them a good rapour with the rest of the forum. However their non-serious personality may make the more official side of moderating a real issue. Their "anti-staff" stance also suggests this.
Community Spirit: Well-liked and active so will take to the position well with other members. But again their unwillingness to visit the gaming forums suggests a community selectiveness which may be an issue

Candidate 5

History: Has been here for two years which more than long enough to know the community well. Suggesting new events shows they have a pro-active interest in the community
Activity: The inconsistency is an issue in regards to posting, as it shows they may leave the other CK's to "flounder" when they are not around to pick up the slack. They do post throughout the forum however, which means they'll have a good idea of whole of the community
Personality: They are upbeat which means they will be a positive influence on the community. However, their unwillingness to confront others and be passive is a very bad thing since it shows they may have issue admonishing members when it is required. This could work to their advantage since it would be a problem if a person were too confrontational
Community Spirit: As mentioned above, posts right across the board, and is well-liked which works to their advantage perhaps better than anyone else in the candidate list

VERDICT: None of the candidates are perfect, but to me 3 is the best. Activity needn't be massive for a CK to be able to moderate successfully, and we need someone who is level-headed and smart rather than someone who is just liked by the community. 3 of course is liked which is a bonus, with the only issues being their lack of activity in the general forums which could easily be rectified after their indoctrination.

Side thought: Dyou think the twist will be that all of these profiles are based on the current CK's?
