Let me sum this all up, Staff Hirings, expecially PRs are EXTREMELY biased. All the politically correct excuses, and this that and the third doesn't change that. Its been that way, mostlikely will remain so.

My entire point was, do not put up the applications. Its a waste of time, you all agreed with that. Therefore, enforce it. Rather than waiting two weeks while understaffed for enough people to fill it out, just hire who you will. I can careless about the bias, just the next time I want someone to watch a trade, I shouldn't have to look. I want them to be there, on-command. Ya dig? I'm impatient, rightly so. We shouldn't have to go on expeditions to find PRs.

Lets face it, your job is simple enough. Its not the most difficult task on earth, yet you find ways to screwup and become complete dissapointments. I mean, I remember the team being so incompetent, that LORDSQUIRT himself acknowledged it. Thats sad. (Oops, I ranted.)

In any event, why was Erik fired? All I've gotten was bull**** answers that beat around the bush, and FYI Squirt, you don't like Erik or didn't awhile ago in a conversation with me.

MontyPython, I don't remember you being the most well-behaved player. Lol, I sort of remember quite the opposite. Talk about contradictory.
I never agreed that applications are a waste of time...please read and do not put words in my mouth. Exolia is probably the only PR that would've been hired without an application, and that is because he is the ETA. I wouldn't have even considered LT as a candidate if it weren't for his application. Casper was the last person we decided on, and it was his well-written and thought out application that set him apart from the other possible choices.

Applications tell us a number of things: who's interested, how serious are they, and other reasons which I'm pretty sure I've already highlighted in this thread.
