This has been a topic bothering me for months, and was a problem brought to me by several users over several months. All of these issues are about how promotions function. At this rate, promotions won't be able to be made mainly because of the way we choose candidates to become staff members. We haven't promoted in months, and I think that the amount of staff members we have promoted doesn't fit the amount our community needs. If we are going to have many plans and many projects in our future, I believe that we need more rollbacks and moderators. If we only promote people roles like rollback, textbox moderator, and content moderator, then that would work out a little better. (Question A) Do you believe that we need more of these people?

I also suggest that we agree upon the promotion requirements we have. If you forgot here's the list:

General: need avatar, need to be a registered user, profile page edited, needing to earn all previous roles

Rollback: 1 month of contributions or more, 5-day editing badge, at least 10 badges, at least 500 edits, at least 1,000 leaderboard points, recommended to you by another staff member, OR complete a challenge (and bypass specified requirements)

Textbox Moderator: 3 months of contributions or more, emerald love badge, at least 30 badges, at least 750 edits, at least 1,000 leaderboard points and 6th-place-or-higher placement, recommended to you by another staff member, OR complete a challenge (and bypass specified requirements)

Content Moderator: 6-12+ months contributing or more, amethyst love badge, at least 90 badges, at least 2,000 edits, at least 1,000 leaderboard points and a 6th-place-or-higher placement, recommended to you by another staff member, OR complete a challenge (and bypass specified requirements)

(Question B) You you agree to this or want to change any of these promotion requirements?

There's a third issue we have to work out here. If we want to have staff members that are devoted to working here, why don't they have to apply? They would need to make a resume blog or apply using a certain form for each role at each specified promotion time. (Question C) Do you think that users have to create a blog with a certain form to apply for a role?

A fourth and final issue about promotions is made. Elections are common ways for users to be promoted to certain roles. (Question D) Do you think that election blogs made by current admins or you should be made to have general votes for election? If so, how would they be run? Would it be a majority vote? If not, what would you like to do instead?

I hope that if you can contact me again with your answers to these four questions that you can make promotion requirements clearer for users. I hope that questions we get are resolved once this problem is resolved.
