omfg. Back to the good old ways.

Waaaaaaay back when I was a Global Mod and up for Adminship, I introduced an idea to Josh about a Staff Appraisal Scheme, where the members filled in a given form [which I actually still have on me] and sent the forms to the Administrators, who were Darkblade, Sephiroth and Garnet at that time. I'll paste the form;

Quote:

YES / NO / I DO NOT KNOW

3. Do you think that this member of staff has been professional?
YES / NO / I DO NOT KNOW

4. Do you think that this member of staff has been active (on the forums often)?
YES / NO / I DO NOT KNOW

5. Do you think that this member of staff deserves to have a position on Final Fantasy Forums?
YES / NO / I DO NOT KNOW

6. Do you think that this member of staff would be better suited with another position (if yes, please state which)?
YES / NO / I DO NOT KNOW

7. Do you think that a staff appraisal scheme is necessary/useful?
YES / NO / I DO NOT KNOW

8. How would you rate this member of staff?
EXCELLENT / GREAT / GOOD / FAIR / POOR / VERY POOR

9. Do you think that another member on the forums deserve a position with the staff on Final Fantasy Forums (please state name – this question is not compulsory)?

10. Please leave any extra comments/criticism/praise and such like that you may have for this member of staff below (this question is not compulsory).

[Thank you for taking the time to complete this form – your input is greatly appreciated and very useful to us. Now send your completed form to the stated recipient. Please fill out this form for other member of staff, not just one, as this will help us even more]

It was going quite swell and so I introduced something else to Darkblade, and that was the idea of giving us assessments and such himself, so that he was communicating with the staff. I made a template for him and said template was as follows;

Quote:

Activity: EXCELLENT / GOOD / FAIR / POOR / VERY POOR

Professionalism: EXCELLENT / GOOD / FAIR / POOR / VERY POOR

Complaints: 0 / 1-3 / 4-6 / 7-9 / 10+

Use of Language: FORMAL / NORMAL / INFORMAL / SLANG / OTHER

Compatibility

Suggested change

Of Job
Responsibilities: YES / NOT QUITE YET / NO

Moderation: FAIR BUT FIRM / TOO STRICT / TOO LOOSE / CARELESS / OTHER

Content: SATISFACTORY / MODERATE / NOT ENOUGH

Overall
Performance
(Marks out of 10): 0 / 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 / 9 / 10

Administrators Comments:
[Insert personal comments here – praise, criticism, or develop one of the above points more clearly]
I then filled in the report, as the idea didn't seem to sink in.

When Moderating: CARELESS

Administrators Comments:
Riku, I am not impressed with you. I find that you are lacking in responsibility and I believe you to be too far up your own ass to realise that the members come first – you are not allowed to be the top poster. DE-STAFFED!

Please stay active on the forums though.

Yours Sincerely

Josh Hawkman
Forum Administrator, Site Owner and Site Webmaster


Everything surrounding the SAS was going swimmingly and only ended due to the fact that I left as a result of the Christmas incident. The appropriate threads were later closed because Josh didn't seem to want to handle them.

Maybe it'd be a good idea to re-introduce them? Although it's likely that the templates would have to be revised. Nevertheless, each of us found the entire thing extremely effective.

EDIT:
D'lain, those ideas don't help fix the problems you've presented in your first post. All they do is raise or lower the self-esteem, or ego, of the staff members. I remember I made a "Who's your favourite staff member?" thread ages ago ... and it had to be closed, purely because of the chances people were taking to bash or flame other staffers. It really wasn't fair.

Aha. I get you know, like the FFF awards but only allowing staff members to be voted for?

Meh...i guess if you wanted to do it you could.
