Okay, I'm going to make this as short as possible and I'm not going to sugar-coat it.
I hate it when people look at a staff application and then base their answer purely because of what they've seen in-game of that individual. A good example was Jack Flagg's reply to TOMCAT's application where he -supported him because he'd never seen him on. What's the point stating how experienced you are in that field and putting effort into your application if people aren't going to pay proper attention to it, and then just base their verdict on "hm, he CDMed me once, better -support him" kind of answer. It's stupid and I think there needs to be some kind of regulation/rule system when it comes to players giving their opinions on someones staff application. As much as basing your answer of what you've seen in-game from that person is useful, it needs to be balanced. That player could write the best application ever, but do the odd bad thing in-game. Most people then would just -support him. I don't think this is how it should work in any case, and it's highly unfair to those who put effort into their applications.
Since I assumed this would be a suggestion as to add rules and regulations when it comes to reviewing staff applications, I've placed it in the Suggestions section. Any moderator, feel free to move it to the appropriate section if need be.
What do you guys and girls think?
