Team application

[Zurai]

Hey guys,

Sunbla told me about his idea to overhaul the Application system for the team.

The idea is to nominate people for the Team and and create a vote here on the Forum to accept the nominated
person or not.

I like this idea a lot but we have to discuss the details of this.

In my opinion it should be only Team internal so only current "Wannabes" can vote for a nominated person.
So we need Starzor to create a Team-Only-Board and give Wannabes access to that. Even better would be if
the board would be viewable by the publicity but only Wannabes can still vote. I don't know if that's something the
forum functions can offer.

I didn't give this too many thoughts but it would be nice if we could have a discussion about this topic here.


Peace

i think a backroom would be nice for something like this .i dont think its a problem to make a thingy that is viewable by a group!
would be the same like how the admin threads work.

[Zurai]

Yea I know, but the Admin board is not visible for the Normal Users. But it would be cool if the "Vote-Board" or
whatever is viewable by everyone but only wannabes can write into/use it.

Only issue I see is getting more of our team members to actually become active on this forum.   With only a fraction of the people checking in here, a system like this could leave the decision up to the handful that do.  It's not a bad idea though.

I struggled with the same problem on my guild forum, always having to nudge people to hop in once a day or so.

Is it fine if I move this to the suggestions board? I'd think we should get a wider populous of people. Plus most people on the team aren't 'mods' or 'admins' so they won't be able to see this post.

[Zurai]

Hmm, maybe you should do that. Let me just delete my post before b

[Starz0r]

ok

I was hoping there'd be some kind of voting system added, but I don't think it should be publicly viewable.
Last thing I want is to say "no" and have the person see it and get mad at me.

[sunbla]

the voting should be like a normal poll. so basically all votes by the members are anonymous

[Denferok]

The chosen person has to sign up before they can get nominated obviously. We could keep the current application system but lower the requirements (or maybe completely remove them.) When someone contacts me I could post a thread in a new application voting board providing links to the applicants livestream.

The reason why I havn't done this already is because the poll could easily be abused. Do we only allow the current members to vote? Should there be a time frame? (eg you would have to get a certain amount of votes in a week) etc.

[Zurai]

A week sounds good. But I would still stick with the nomination system so every Team-Member is able to nominate a streamer.
The reason is to help people expand their viewership.

For example if I nominate a person which maybe no one knows, people would start checking out the stream and maybe give them
automatically a follow. So a nomination is also some kind of passive adverstisement for the streamer.

This would maybe benefit the community more than you think and motivate non-team-streamers to increase the quality of their stream
in hope to get nominated.

Do we only allow the current members to vote?

Yes, definitly. In my opinion it should be a Team internal decision.
Therefore we need the Team-Board which Starzor had to setup and give every current Team-Member a rank so he can view the board.

I was thinking we would post our thoughts along with a yes or no instead of just using a poll.  I'd much rather post "I vote no for Denferok because he showed his boobs on stream" than just click a no and possibly have other people vote yes without knowing that he flashed while streaming.

[Zurai]

Than do that, nothing is holding you off from that  Also if the board is viewable by the publicity, you can post constructive criticisimn instead of bashing the streamer and explain your thoughts why you voted for "No" (even tho I would like to see Dens boobies)

[Denferok]

Well we have to make sure the chosen person actually wants to be added, there are private streamers that don't want viewers, raids and such.
Also not asking them before nominating them is rude

[Zurai]

Hmm yea that's true, but at the end it's the streamer himself who decides if he wants to accept the invite or not
