Discovery Community is looking for new administrators/moderators!

The only problem with self nomination is that the best potential admins are (probably) not going to be applying for the posts.

There's some famous quote about reluctant leaders somewhere, but I'm too lazy to go find it.

I personally think the best way forward is for the current team to choose their own candidates, as they currently do, and then sounding those folks out. Maybe asking for nominations every now and then, or applications even.

I've never had any worries about the new admins that have been appointed while I've been here. They've all proven themselves to be fair and level headed.

I don't think faction leadership is any more of an issue than faction membership either. No-one suitable for an admin position would put their own faction first anyway.

Yes , I vaguely remember the one you mean and I agree . In my experience , someone who is really ramming for a position of power is not often a good choice .

Nominations occasionally would be a good idea , including looking at who's nominating , not just who they've nominated .

Heavy responsibility , being the final arbiter over something that means so much to so many.... good luck .
