The intent of allowing all members of the community to comment with +1s and -1s on staff apps has been to take into consideration the thoughts of everyone in the community. However we've been finding that many people aren't really adding to the conversation. We don't just think it's important to know if you support someone's application, but why you do. We would like to heavily encourage you to include both positive and negative experiences with the applicant so we can get a full picture.
As such comments in staff apps will now be required to contribute something meaningful, and not just be "+1" or "+1 because they are cool".
Comments not adhering to this will be removed.
Additionally we've noticed a number of people afraid of backlash from posting negative experiences. Please remember you can message any of the admins or mods you feel comfortable with separate from the posts here and your opinion will still be taken into consideration.
Thanks all. And feel free to let us know how you feel about this as well, I'll leave the comments open on this post.
