Firstly, as I briefly touched upon yesterday, the candidates for the admin tryouts will be current staff members as the current admins consider this to be the best move forward for the site. Thank you to all those who have offered to step up as admin, though, as you have only proven your dedication to the site. We are very grateful to have such a committed member base.
Now, in order to remove bias from the admin tryouts, we have three main measures that we are putting in place. First of all, members will be voting for candidates’ ideas rather than the candidates themselves. When voting for an admin, all applications will have their names removed from their application and replaced with a letter. For example, you will be voting for Candidate A, Candidate B, Candidate C, and so forth.
Next, candidates are forbidden from telling any members which application is theirs. This means that all applications are entirely anonymous. Lastly, applications will be rewritten by the staff team so that it is difficult to differentiate who is who based on their writing style.
The voting from members will not be what definitively decides who the next admins will be, but it will act as guidance for the current admins to make their final decision. The vote is absolutely vital, however, in pinpointing what members would like to see in Bearbones, so your votes are very important in this process.
Additionally, we will be setting a strict time limit on when votes will be in by to prevent the tryouts from lasting for too long. We would like a prompt decision and so we will ensure that happens. Applicants will need to send their application to current admins by Wednesday 9th September. This is subject to change if there are less than 3+ applicants. Once all applications are in, a form to vote will be open for four days before the staff can decide on the site’s new admins.
I hope this clears up some confusion and is taking a step to ensuring transparency from the staff team.
