I have 2 reasons to rant abot the staff.
1. Members also don't get to vote on who gets to be staff so we maintain a trusy forum. This isn't plebians times.
2. Only they control the karma, and for the shops for where karma has to be used, there is a such thing as teMoney hack that I've said about 5 times and even posted a LINK to it. and yet it isn't used.
If these go on, who knows what will happen. Some other forum called ToFS (Tales of Forum Symphonia) did something like this, and it ws destroyed. we don't wan this to happen to us, do we?

1. Any decision ultimately gets decided by everyone. Staff may discuss ideas, but when anything gets needs to be decided we put it to a vote. If the majority say yes, then we ask everyone else.
2. I am going to look at the money hack thing now.
I doubt we will be "destroyed". Mmaester chose the staff who help out the most. These are the people that would get voted into being staff anyway.
Edit: We discussed something like the money hack actually. We didn't want anything that would promote spamming at the moment. But the forum is still small enough for karma to work fine.

1: I've asked people's opinion on these staff member in the chat... You weren't there, but everyone agreed they were respected and good members. On another note, I WILL choose staff-members myself and will NOT choose someone, because he/she is popular among the forums. I choose people I think are capable, respected and follow the rules (and who report posts for example). 2: The karma-hack is something that's NOT solvable. It's a pity, but we have to live with it. These forums fail, accept that please, unless you'd like to start with new forums, and believe me, forum switches WILL kill communities (own experience with SEVERAL clans). [sorry if anything sounded harsh, but I just woke up and am moody Did not mean it if I sound grumpy...]

And may I just add that karma (at least right now) can only be used to purchase a title, which isn't even that significant IMO. The staff has discussed extended protocol for karma, which will allow us to know if someone received karma from a staff member or the karma hack.

Funny how the only people here saying good things about the staff are the staff themselves.

meh, i think its fine that mmaster picks the staff members,that way he can pick people he trusts to be in charge, if you make a poll anyone can end like admin, and thats how abusers are born :O
mmaster did ask about the future admins, i was there : o i think everything its fine xD

I think the community should be able to suggest new staff members but the Staff actually choose. Members are not always trustworthy, especially newer ones. (No offense to newer members.)

Personally, I think MMaester does a fine job picking the staff. I'm pretty sure the opinions of his and the community's on who would be good staff members wouldn't differ all that much.

(No offense to newer members.) it wouldnt hurt that the communnity could SUGGEST future staff members, that way MMaster could have an idea but stay with my first opinion, communnity shouldnt pick the staff, Mmaster is doing it just fine

I think that when the time comes and MMaester is looking for more people to become Admins/Mods then he should put up a thread asking people to suggest people or themselves and a paragraph explaining why they want to/want someone else to become a staff member After a time limit has been met, he shortlists the names and puts it into a poll 2 Birds one stone Community and MMaester gets a say

Well if MMaester doesnt like who the community picks then he doesnt have to make them staff after all its his final say
