To make this a point at all, you have to prove that the majority vote is the most wise way to hire people.

Say I get into a dispute with a pwa about something... who can I report the pwa to? Nobody. Spark? Psshhh... He's the one who hired the person you're complaining about. It's natural for him to take the side of his own team, before he takes the side of some "whining" playerworld manager. You can't report to Stefan. Even if you somehow magically get in touch with Stefan, it's not very likely that he'll remember or have the time, to discuss the issue with the person you're having a problem with. It just winds up a dead end.
It very well might end up a dead end. If you have a dispute, the PWA is probably right.

This type of behavior isn't something that benefits Graal in any way. Yet I think it's the reason I loathe "globals" so much. The whole "if you don't like my decision, go cry about it" aspect, doesn't really appeal to me. At any given time, a PWA can get an attitude, and completely disrespect a playerworld manager, and who ends up looking like the bad guy? Well the manager of course!
That's because the manager knows who he has to obey, but his little ego trip he gets from owning a playerworld deludes him into thinking for awhile that he doesn't.

What is unprofessional about arguing? What is unprofessional about the PWA?

The last thing I need is some 14 year old kid demanding that I do something with my playerworld because he says so. Then when I complain about it, I get shown the door. That's really lovely I'm sure.
Which PWA member is 14?
Also, if you can't take the medicine, learn to. We put up with a whole lot of crap from people, and it doesn't help when still more people give us crap to deal with. And what difference does it make if a 14 year old demands it or a 30 year old tech junkie demands it?

Sometimes people make mistakes in judgement, but that hardly constitutes a problem.
