User blog:AenMaps/Reforming the Election Process

This is not a hate post.

I just think a few things can be changed for the Spring Elections.

I just think that if Admins are going to vote on making someone a staff member, they should do some more background research. You can't determine if someone is worthy with their contributions and their application only. That's like a Job Interviewer considering people for a job by just reading their application. It would be stupid.
 * 1) Add the requirement that people must list at least three people who will vouch for the applicant and their desired position, so that Admins can get in contact with these people and learn more about the applicant while considering them. [This is mostly just for Chat Mod.]
 * 2) Add the requirement that people must tell us their timezones (because a lot of the time people do not say which timezone they're in which can be quite confusing).
 * 3) Make Admins give applicants "interviews" while considering them. (EDIT: I mean private interviews. Applicants are made to give their skype anyway, so it can be done on there, but it can also be done by the Private Message feature of the Wikia Chat instead.)

Just some things to consider.
