The staff team

[Yonno]

I don't believe staff applications are a good idea as (like many people have told me and I agree with) you can make anyone look good in text.

As well, what happens after their written application gets accepted? Will they get trial immediately? Will we need to create a new mod rank for these candidates? What process needs to happen before someone is accepted? 
I believe that for a rank like admin, applications are a difficult process. Although I'd like to see it I don't know how good it will actually be.

Why don't we encourage the staff team to actively find new underrated or decent trials who don't have a lot of hours? Should there be a plan to f.i. accept 4 more trials in the upcoming 2 months?

Although I think it's a positive idea, we have to really think about it if it is the right step.

It's not really that difficult and it's much easier to hire people who apply and want to be staff, than the admins asking people whether they wanna be staff or not lol. If they're accepted they could get Trial Admin rank and someone could train them, show all the commands and stuff, then the trial should end after a period of time, if they done a good job and deserve full rank, they get past the trial if not, they get demoted, simple as that. It's basically the same as it is now

I don't think you really understand the whole process behind staff recruitment. The staff team doesn't just hire people left and right. Even right now I can't think of many actual good potential candidates that have an impact in the community as a rolemodel. Too often people try getting the final say or are just straight up cocky. These traits dont get you very far, no matter your activity. 

Staff applications are not a good idea in the current day and age of Fearless, as it's way too easy for people to just set up a mask nowadays.
