Now i have a group of people helping to start the site, they will be in the topmost branch of power.. Then in the lower branch are staff selected from the users.. Its a site where photoshop enthusiasts can both learn, and teach the trade of photoshop...... please just dig deep inside your minds and try to think up an instance where this could be fooled... Upper-branch corruption is the only thing i wont take as an answer
So here it is:
"""""""""""""""
First let me state what we expect from our staff here:
Behavioral/Knowlege Criteria
- Must have a relatively sound grasp on operating Adobe Photoshop CS2
- Must be knowledgeable in the various functions Photoshop can perform
- Must be able to take questions in a friendly way, last thing we need is a hostile person with power
- Must be patient with beginners
Physical Qualifications (as of Oct 26, 2006)
Theese are a few ways to prove status as a good staff member
+ Won/Placed Highly in design contest launched by the administration
- Be reminded that at any point in time, you may respectfully question an administrator's decision on the top designs. If an appeal is made, a poll will be set up for users to decide, if the Administrator is considered wrong, what is considered right.
+ Was selected personally by an administrator
- A high-tier administrator is reserved the right to select any member to be part of staff, however this action must go through and be voted on by the current staff. All decisions made in this manner are final, and cannot be appealed by members unless the new staff is proved to be corrupt.
+ Was selected by a unanimous vote among members
- Staff may be selected also by regular members, this is done so by posting in staff selection with a poll mentioning why the member should be voted into staff. Staff members and administrators are allowed to vote in theese polls, however, >50% of the votes MUST come from regular members for the poll to be considered valid.
Criteria for REMOVING a staff member
Well we aren't all perfect, are we?
+ Brought up by members
-Must have 3 valid complaints before a removal poll may be posted, at that point all voters must have over 75% in the yes category, along with a unanimous vote among the staff
+Brought up by Staff/Administrator
-Is voted on ONLY by staff, must be a unanimous vote. If vote reveals that staff member must be removed, the action will be reviewed by an administrator and directed accordingly.
Staff Bullets
+ There is no required time a staff member must be on the forums, they may visit as they please. If a staff member hasn't logged in for 2 weeks time without posting absence in the staff forum, then thier account will be reviewed by select staff and administrators and dealt with accordingly.
+ Although it is not required of them, staff members are encouraged to be involved in the mentor program. Again this isnt necessarily a time-consuming commitment alot of the time, but touching base with your student at least 1 time a week is encouraged. Students are allowed to post an inactivity claim on thier teacher, this is reviewed by staff.
Staff Perks
+An email address of Photoshop-HQ ie. "you@Photoshop-HQ.com" SMTP enabled
Please do not abuse this right, if a complaint is filed of spamming your email will be removed and your staff position reviewed by administrators.
+An Authoritative position on all of the website
This right is NOT to be abused. Reports of a power-hungry staff member will more than likely lead to a unreviewed removal of staff status.
