I think what I wrote has been misinterpreted. It was really only for the sake of replying to people who have said that it is or should be a popularity contest whether joking or not. I wasn't suggesting we base mods off of their post count or how long they've been here. I was saying that IF we were to theoretically get rid of a mod application and instead do it based by popular vote, then there should be two rounds. The first round would be PC voting for people they think would do a good job as a mod, then the nominees would accept if they wanted to be a mod or not and then we would do a second round of voting that would include only current staff and people who have been around long enough to have a good sense of what the people are like and what a mod should and shouldn't be. I don't like the idea of it being a popularity contest. And if you read my initial post you would understand that and have realized that this was just a completely unrelated post to stay in the conversation and not just be a one trick pony. Though it doesn't really matter because this is all hypothetical. But thank you for your feedback. If you'd like to take a moment to read what I really think and offer some feedback on that then you can go to the second post on this thread. Thank you again.
Alright I read your first post, apologies for overlooking it. I didn't see that you specified it hypothetically as you didn't really state that but now it's cleared up. In that case a writing prompt could possibly work, and as I was reading above I saw that Mr Cat Dog had good questions to use if the site were to use mod apps or a writing prompt sort of thing. But it should be given to a limited amount of people in private, since putting it in public would mean having to read maybe hundreds of mod applications, and that wouldn't really be practical.
If the PC community were to vote for this though, I still think it'd fall more along the lines of who somebody is more friends with getting the vote or something like that. Sure it could be considered when looking at it on a grand scale of things, but ultimately it should be up to experienced staff like you said.
