Kitsune is a good choice. She's nice, almost to a fault. Kupo has shown he has no problem abandoning this place if people disagree with him over his opinions. He's a cool guy but I don't really see him as monitor material.People have disagreed with me plenty of times before without me leaving.

This is a ruse, right?
The one thing that I've been advocating here from way before I became a staff member is transparency.
- Be active. While this definitely isn't the most decisive criterium, it matters quite a bit. Post often and in all the different boards too. We don't pick mods / monitors for just a single section of the site, so try to branch out a little if you almost exclusively stick to a single board or two.
- Contribute. Offer to help with things in the community and site whenever you can. Organize game nights, make youtube videos, write reviews, make news entries, host forum games, spread the word and recruit members, design stuff in photoshop and so forth. It shows commitment and helps you stand out.
- Stand up for what you believe in. Not in the sense of "DEATH BEFORE COMPROMISE", of course, but we do want a relatively diverse staff team that can give multiple perspectives on certain issues. Speak up if you believe something is wrong and suggest how to change it. Don't unnecessarily cling to something if it's not going to happen, but don't try to suck up to the staff. Speaking your mind in a reasonable and adult manner, pitching new ideas, coming up with your own solutions and civil disagreements with current policies go a lot further than always agreeing with what others say just because you think it'll make you a better candidate.
Quote from: TBlocks on August 26, 2015, 09:43:28 AMTransparency nothing. I know full well from being in the staff chat and HQ for a time that these "extensive talks" really didn't last that long. Maybe you've ramped them up for this but it wasn't "extensive" when I was there.We talked about the candidates every day since the nomination thread was made. It was practically the only topic of conversation in the mod chat for the past few days and everyone chimed in on more than one occasion. In the HQ forum, there's currently 5 different threads dedicated to changes to the staff and the new monitors. In the end, there's only so much talking you can do. Icy compiled a list of all the nominated members and the entire staff picked their favorites, with some of us even listing "maybe" and "no" groups while giving reasons for it all. We narrowed it down to a final few that everyone agreed on and then went with the two most popular choices. Sure, we could've always been more thorough, but I do think that we put quite a bit of effort into this.QuoteThis means nothing dude. How many times have certain members of the mod team not posted or not even been on the site in the last month or so. Activity seems to be negligible.I'm just talking about advice on how to become a staff member, not on how to remain one. That being said, staff activity does get taken into account. It's part of the reason while the roster is being changed now. Update coming up soon.QuoteWhen was the last time the current mod team contributed anything substantial to the community? Can't remember anything for a good month, maybe two. Again, I'm merely talking about becoming a monitor rather than actually being one. Contributing simply makes you stand out.QuoteWell this just made me laugh and you know exactly why.I don't know what you expect (or want) me to say in public.

That's might be the least of my concerns honestly.

Also you guys are going off topic.1. No one is breaking a rule here, just natural progression of a conversation2. You're a Monitor not a mod and I promise you nothing will get you hated by the community quicker than being a forum cop so I'd suggest you'd slow your roll on reminding people of the rules.

I wasn't aware new staff members without any actual power made the rules now.Did something change when I wasn't looking?
Are all Irish people as snippy as a rat terrier?
>salt intensifies
New Monitors
