how did these 6 people get nominated? what where the requirements?
why can't we write in people? I know some other people that would make awesome CLs.
I want to my a CL, how do I get my name to appear on the list?
The Community Leaders nominated several people who we felt would be good additions to the team. There were no requirements, per se, but we did look at several factors including but not limited to:
1) Post count
2) How long they've been a member here
3) Their history of reporting posts
4) Post content
5) Warnings/Infractions they've received **
6) How well we felt we could work with them
After a discussion among the CL's, each member that made the list was contacted via PM and was asked if they wanted to be considered for the job. After a brief explanation of the duties, some said yes and some said no. Those that said yes were added to the list to be voted on.
We discussed having members nominate others for the position, but we decided against this because of how much longer it would add to the process. We'll revisit the idea in the future if we decide to hold elections again. If you truly feel someone is deserving of being a CL, feel free to drop one of the CL's a line and point them out, and we'll try and bear that in mind next time we need to select CL's.
** Contrary to popular belief, you can have infractions and be a CL. You can not have a ban from the forum.
