I don't. Maybe if this idea doesn't work out - there needs to be some sort of way to get the community involved in the Moderator selection so the Noobstown team get a feel for who WE think will make a good Moderator.

Daniel! Joe, Matt, James, Lawrence and Dylan are all much more experienced than all of our members so they're the people who need to decide who they want for their server as staff. Yes, it would be cool to have a moderator that most of the community like, but that doesn't make the person a good moderator just because the community prefer him/her.

It doesn't matter if they are experienced or not, all that matters is if they choose the best possible person fit for the job. Including opinions from the wider community gives an idea for who they should choose. You're basically saying that we as the public can't let our viewpoints be heard by the Staff. Also, if the community votes someone in then that person will most likely do a better job of being a Moderator as they know that there are people that believe in that person to do a great job or else they wouldn't have voted for them.

No, that's where you've gone totally wrong, It does matter if the Admins are experienced because then that way they know who would be fit for the job. No, I'm not 'basically saying that we as the public can't let our viewpoints be heard by staff', where did you get this rubbish from? I didn't say that we aren't allowed to share our 'viewpoints' or suggestions/opinions on who we think would be fit for the job, all I'm saying is that the Admins should choose. That is my opinion, I accept that yours is the opposite, but I'm sure we're allowed to share our own opinions.

It would only be better if an Admin can comment on this topic because then we'd know what's happening instead of discussing something that isn't up to us.

They don't need to be experienced to choose the best person fit for the job, they just need to choose whoever they think is trustworthy and can handle the pressure alongside having a good Moderator application form.

^^^ The Admins are choosing.. they get to choose who gets put up for election, so therefore they are choosing, pretty much.

So because someone has a good application? Hmm think if there was someone that was really good with English and Grammar and they applied, that would make Joe or someone choose them to be a moderator? As easy as that? No, that isn't the way things are on Noobstown, the application isn't everything, people can act trustworthy. Amanda is a great Mod, but don't get me wrong, she was accepted quite quickly because she had a good application, seemed loyal and trustworthy, luckily it was a great choice because she is the person who she told us she was, she's great at the job. The person who accepted Amanda as a Moderator was ultimately sure that she would be fit for the job, it wasn't just a random guess. What if that was to happen again, but this time it was people who voted, the person got promoted to Moderator and banned a lot of people? Yeah, it could be fixed and we'd all be unbanned, but that would be all of us put on MCBans and that isn't a good thing because people don't put as much trust into you as they could.

I think if you did do this you should first make a poll on the site and say free diamond if you vote on the site then hire the winner

I wouldn't say free diamond, I would say something like 50-150 Noobz, A diamond is something more special for when the server reaches so many players and what not :)

When did I say the application was 'everything'? Oh yeah, never. All I said was that the application is the most crucial part in becoming a Moderator, without it you won't be chosen to become one, so yeah it is VERY important that you have a good one. Yes people can act trustworthy but when people have been on this server for along time it's very sad if you just 'act' trustworthy. I agree with the whole Amanda situation but she obviously proved the Staff that she was worthy of joining the Noobstown Staff by having a good detailed application and a great in-game attitude to helping people. To become a Moderator you need to prove yourself fit for the job and if you don't then you wont become one.

Ok, I think its time for me to say a few things.

1. I'm afraid this "Election" thing isn't going to work for the following reason:
If Allot of the users vote for a specific person, and then we don't choose that person, it could ruffle a few feathers in some people. And it's also not fair if people " gang up and vote" it's just not a good system to have on this type of server.

The server is where it is today because we have amazing moderators.
Also because Fatnoob and I have a very high standerd for moderation on both the sever and the forums, it really isnt a simple job, i must make sure that who ever im picking, can keep up to the extensive workload and is mature enough for the job.  The point that im making is that the admins and i know exactly what were looking for in a good moderator,and that makes all the diffrence beteen the server functioning, and bad times.
