My Opinion

Vauld, you are right - picking staff also has a part to do with relations. We are building a team, naturally we won't pick people who do not fit into the team - this simply to avoid internal conflicts, fact is that a team in harmony works a lot better than a team annoyed by itself.

Do not get distracted by what I just said. Our main criteria are still maturity, RP skills, activity.

'Experience' is a not something to wave around here, how would you measure it? Who's been here longer? And how would one gain experience if not given the chance to even prove themselves?

Every time we recruit a new staff member we basically take a leap of faith. Obviously we want this leap to be as small as possible, thus people we are more familiar with we will instinctively find more trustworthy - and will give them an advantage of getting a spot in staff.

I fail to see how the system is corrupt. It's not a democracy, it never has been. But this isn't about equality and voting rights, it's about running a community efficiently.
