Moderator Applications

[thiefmn6092]

I disagree. If members can view other applications, they would copy ideas or perhaps copy the application.

uh how would they copy it if the applications are closed?

i think your reply is relying on a possibility of major incompetence on the staffs part, as i am sure they would recognize any duplication

I agree with streetwave, I wouldn't exactly like to comment. I would rather prefer and visualize what the users are declaring about themselves and make a personal judgement. As a single person your opinion of someone may not be very good if you have encountered these people before, yet if many people said this person was lying then a petition could be made and that person should not be allowed to apply again.

Indeed, so favoritism could be set up which isn't the point of the whole idea.

I believe that it would be fair to keep the denied applications private, but as the current applications are pruned, the "under review" ones should be public. Then, if the applications are continually pruned, keep the ones that continue to "go further" public.

Just a thought.

I fully support this thought.

There are around 80 applications, it would be difficult to spot similarities.

Besides, they would wonder who copied who and they would have to rely on the thread creation date which will cause a lot of confusion.

You cannot exactly be the same as everyone else, there are big differences between users' personalities. You do make valid points though but it isn't hard to notice what has been copied by other people? Somethings you cannot avoid saying to be fair like: "I feel I would be active."
At the end of the day most moderator applications are going to be the same anyway. They will announce their personal qualities, and also denote what they would do as a moderator. Why would you copy anyone's personal qualities? Everyone wants to do something different.

Why would they copy? If you're so low to copy, you totally don't deserve that rank..

What Thee said, was my thought a bit too. The applications should be seperated of the members but in such a way they could look in it but not reply. The Staff will decide whether it's getting chosen or not, by setting permissions that only the 3 usergroups can reply.

Another quick comment against White's; If a user were to copy another users' application an administrator would clearly notice. The Admins do not just browse over these applications taking no consideration for what is being said, these applications are indeed very important and it shows the staff think before saying.
