Board Thread:Staff Rank Rights System/@comment-28606847-20170309001108/@comment-28606847-20170310065635

I'll clear this here. Yes, in October, I was promoted to discussions mod. But SRankDude, you don't get my point. Yes, the systems were different, but in the end, it was the community that saw my potential, which is why I got the position. And then, in early January, the community decided to have me as their next admin.

You see, the community decides which users really do deserve the position. Yes, maybe some users think that just because they have had prior experience, staff are more deserving of the position. But that's not necessarily true. A lot of times, in fact most times, users see potential in other users as their next staff, and express their wants of them becoming staff.

Hence, to say that staff are more deserving of a position than a regular user just because the community decided to make them staff in the past, is just unneeded and false.

All users should get equal attention. If a staff is more capable than a user to earn the position, then they must surely get it. If a user is more capable than a staff to earn the position, then they should get it. If Mithrandir is more capable than all the candidates, then yes, he should get the position. If a user is more capable than Mith, he/she should get the position.

Do you see what I mean?
