[DICUSSION] New VIP Application Process

[Fenix]

I'm guessing this means that the system is not fully in use right now, but just being considered, right?

[memo3300]

what's this mean

also, for me the old system was like, only the (kind of) old and known members of the community get it, with the exepction of the people that worked their ass off for it, playing all day & night by the rules, talked a lot and made friends and etc.

it was hard to get, and even it being hard to get, some people got to be VIP and abuse it.



For me the new system would give a fair chance to those who deserve it, but also we could get more people that abuse the benefices or give a bad impression.

Why do people keep saying this? WHO DID

There's been quite a few previously demoted VIPs.
Most notably Roflcopter.

I'm confused... why did you bring up an old report on Tech?

[memo3300]

- i said that even in the old system that was hard to get VIP some people got to abuse it and be demoted.

-deacon said why people say this, tell me who.

- 3 posts of this and this got demoted.

Sounds great. A lot more fair towards the VIP's and I'll be hoping for this to be completed soon so that we may reapply (VIP's that had their status revoked)

did you even apply?

[Foofoojack]

I was also thinking this

"apply" is a bit of an overstatement

[Deathie]

We all agree it's a good system, where it's more by nomination and by the "general bias" as opposed to having to meet a minimum of "yes's" to be approved.

BUT

How will the "general bias" be decided? Since each opinion is valued differently, you think we'd have to create some sort of rubric to weight each vote, and use that to count.

Basically, what I'm trying to get at, is we have one person be the one who reads all the responses, and weighs the general bias without having their own opinions cloud their decision.

In an ideal world, that person should be coolz, but he's obviously busy with stuff more critical than this.

So heres my question, who do YOU think this unbiased decision maker should be?

In all honesty, I think Deacon would be good for that.

A VIP choosing VIPs? I'd be fine with it, but will everyone else

[Foofoojack]

In all honesty, I think Deacon would be good for that.

I think we should consider someone that we know shows as little bias as possible, like Minic or Xrain.
