THE POSSESSION OF WEALTH IS IN AND OF ITSELF A SIGN OF POOR VIRTUE. AS SUCH:
1 NEVER TRUST ANY RICH PERSON.
2 NEVER HIRE ANY RICH PERSON.
BY RULE 1, IT IS APPROPRIATE TO PRESUME THAT ALL DEGREES AND CREDENTIALS HELD BY A WEALTHY PERSON ARE FRAUDULENT. THIS JUSTIFIES RULE 2--RULE 1 NEEDS NO JUSTIFIC



I would have to take a look at the numbers before making a decision. Do you have an internal presentation you can share with the public? How would this affect the current candidates posting output? How would this affect the C-SPAM budget? What is their starting salary? What kind of benefits would C-SPAM be able to offer? Are they working their rear end off full time or part time? Thank you.

I ask the candidate to explain the circumstances under which they obtained the QCS Crew gangtag.

I further request a pledge to harass our political enemies in the moderator forum and modmin Discord.

I looked through this user's post history briefly and he or she appears to post ~20 times per day in various threads. However, most of the posts seem to have very little in the way of interesting or informative content. I would describe this poster as "white noise", so I see no reason they should be made into a mod.

yep. thread is useless for feedback if you're not providing more of a reasoning for why you think they'd make a good mod than "they seem cool" and then let the thread fill with white noise.

Lobster shirt: you're in a desert, walking along when you look down and see a tortoise. It's crawling toward you. You reach down and flip it over on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over. But it can't. Not with out your help. But you're not helping. Why is that?

e: you guys should appoint a devil's advocate to make the case for why this guy sucks maybe. my case would probably be something like "maaan gently caress that guy"

In all seriousness though, I don't think you should go straight to moderator. Make him an IK and see if he makes good calls or not.

Getting a star has never improved a person’s posting.

Better to give stars to those who have nothing to lose.

To offer a bit more clarification then, for one thing I don't think you have to be a consistent effort poster to be a good mod. It's more important to have a good sense of the community and be comfortable posting with different groups of people in different settings - in other words, to not be stuck in one thread or one style of posting, and not be someone who's going to be uncomfortable if challenged or questioned about a decision. Consistently interesting or informative content helps but isn't the sole measure of a good mod (forum superstars do not necessarily make good mods), it's much more important to be level-headed, well-rounded, and integrated into the wider community. We've had examples of mods in the past who were too insular in one part of the subforum and were not good at moderating outside that part, and we've had mods who expected everybody to live up to their own standards of what was interesting or informative, and clashed with people as a result. I would rather have somebody who's regularly taking part in multiple casual discussions across the subforum and outside of cspam even if that means some of their posts are "white noise", because that reflects somebody who's comfortable in their own skin and relatively relaxed which are both assets for the kind of moderation we want here.

I think lobster shirt fits the bill and seems like a pretty normal, level-headed person who is likely to contribute to the current mod team's efforts to keep cspam a relaxed place for politics posting without going overboard into mod voice or trying to reshape the forum into something that it's not. Obviously there's no way to tell how someone will do until you actually give them a chance, but that's why I would like to make them a mod.
