No, but an application helps describe how a person will do. I have no clue how Xor was hired but I can also feel how insulted the people who applied did when their applications were overlooked by somebody who didn't have to apply. It doesn't matter of your experiences about some former Classic GP, as an application has proven to be more effective in most cases.
For your previous response, this isn't like the real world yes, but a real world job analogy should be no different in choosing people. Not everybody knows everyone's capabilities and an application can and will show that. It's not that I don't think Xor isn't qualified though.
Also, I really don't feel that it should be a prerequisite, or be a large influence, to hold some high staff position on the forums. I've seen several helpful people on the forums that could be good for PWA that have been heading up UC servers, but aren't high staff positions on Classic Servers.
So far this thread has gotten a lot of negative feedback from the community, and it's not just out of jealousy,.
