It's an honorable attempt at being less biased, but I'll argue that being biased for PR hirings is (in theory) a good thing. If you're hiring developers, bias doesn't help at all. You need to be completely unbiased in looking over and reviewing their works. However, a Player Relations team member has nothing to do with the development side. All they're going to be doing is dealing with people and representing the server as staff. So knowing -who- they are and knowing what their previous track records/personalities are like (far beyond that of just obvious ban records) is absolutely invaluable.

This is where knowledge of the playerbase is a very good thing. If you've been on the server for a while, you have a better idea as to who the deviants are. It's more than just looking up their ban records and seeing if they got the right answers on the application.

The applications for PRs have always been a complete joke. They tell you nothing about how a person will actually behave as a PR. Everyone except absolute idiots know the -right- answers, the question is will they actually perform them when faced with the actual situation? They can promise they'll be good, unbiased, blah blah blah. It's all just talk.

Giving them an assignment with logs is a step in the right direction, I'll give you that. It'll weed out at least a couple extra idiots.

An admin needs to be biased in hiring staff...

if you hire people you can't work with the server falls apart.

Right now im looking at about 7 months worth of logs, and tips as to at approx what date the item got stolen?

edit: nvm found it.

The prs have been chosen, thanks to all those who applied. There mere fact that you attempted the test shows me your atleast dedicated and patient. I really liked alot of people but obviously couldn't hire everyone. In the event that a pr is fired/quits I'll will pick from these apps again. Thanks

I just find it ironic that you're expecting your PRs to be unbiased, but at the same time with this post you're implying that everyone is biased.

You kids are so ignorant. All human beings are biased in their own way, if you claim you're not... Well then, read my first statement.

Nobody is unbiased. But it is possible to control it, or at the very least reduce it.

And as Precise has said, if you claim your not biased, your lying.
