at least that way we wont have protests and all this other shit thats going on since the people got to pick who would "lead" them

You could open up staff applications for about a week and just watch how the people act ingame/forums. They could easily be replaced if they're just staging the whole thing.

I think we should bring back the applications aswell. We can still have the observation thing too.

No. Staff apps are a bigger popularity contest than you guys believe the current system is. We've gone through this, realized it was a bad idea, got over it. Our best staff member was handpicked, and our next one will be too.

it would seriously make everyone a lot happier

I was just starting here when I saw the staff applications and most of it was just pathetic. Most just turned into long threads with people giving their opinion and then the thread got locked until the staff made a decision. We know who's qualified and who is not. We don't need an application section.

heres what the staff section was to me:
person made app
community said yes or no
allie made final decision (even if someone got 100 yes's she could still deny)

And that too made people upset. It allowed the community to be like "Why did you pick that guy!? We like this guy!"

i had never seen that happen lol
if someone got denied no1 said shit

If community votes for the person, then the current monitoring system could then kick in. It could be a compromise between the two systems. Then they could be put on a trial, maybe pass an entrance test.

Some of the pathetic tries were hilarious though. I can remember agenys and the "if i break a rule you can send me to the demotion hole" i died of laughter that day

OR. Put both into effect. Find as many people as you think are worthy, then have the people think who is better suited. THEN have allie's final word.

Like this:
-Scenario-
Allie finds 2 normal in-game players. Pig and Neo (not really just examples)
Posts on forums. Who would you rather see as staff? Pig or Neo.
People pick Neo
Neo gets staff.

It wouldn't be a problem because Allie picked 2 people that are worthy and the community picked who they wanted to see out of the 2 people that were picked worthy.

Having 2 options might lead into biased answers.

staff apps were good , they weren't all a popularity contest
in both cases the decisions will be biased.
but i'd rather have the community choose than just one person
