I don't know how he looks, so I can't judge him on that. I'm sorry, Bree, but that is not enough. Please tell me why he makes a good admin. I'm kinda curious as to what makes a "good admin" too. I've heard "they have to have a good personality" but how do you decipher a good personality from a bad one? Anyways, congrats Karson. =)

We basically picked the new admins based on three things:
1) Dedication 2) Mental Capacity 3) Personality
So yeah, there you go.

Now please develop that as to explain why Karson was the best choice of all the applicants, based on the three criteria you just listed. Why is he the one that makes the best admin? More or less, it would be nice to have... a motivation for your choice.

We chose Karson because we liked him. He's a cool kid who can offer a lot to the team, and he had a good application.
That's really all you need to know...

I believe I, being a member of this community as much as you, Bree, kind of have the right to know what actually went through you guys' head when you chose him. What can he offer to this forum (except the new forum skin, of course)? What makes him a "cool kid"? And I'm actually surprised to see that you didn't base your decision at all on how well suited he was to pursue the values of this community. Doesn't that matter?

You have a right to a lot of things, but in this case you don't have a right to know every little reason why we chose Karson. It's our decision who we add to the administrator team. We've told you as much as we're willing to tell. It's really irrelevant, anyway. We've chosen our 9 administrators and they're not changing. We shouldn't have to run it by you first. =/

We really don't have to tell you anything we don't want to tell you. o.o Why do you care so much? Please do not assume we did or did not base our decision on anything. This thread is making me sad. Karson is amazing, and completely deserves it. Why anyone is questioning that or our decision is beyond me.

I believe people were under the impression that this tribe was generally open to all ideas and decisions; therefore, if you withhold information such as why he was chosen and do not make it apparent at why he was chosen, then it seems like many may now think of this tribe differently, as you do not feel the need to explain your process of choosing. For me, i believe that the admins are who they are, as long as I do not see a problem with them, I am fine an do not need an explanation. It is not out of line though for people to be curious at how they were chosen over others.

It is not out of line though for people to be curious at how they were chosen over others. We are open to all ideas. That doesn't mean that every member gets to collaborate to make miscellaneous administrator decisions. We're the people that will have to be around the other admins 24/7, we're the people who know the admin's future role on the forum, and so we are the people who choose admins. There will be opportunities in the future for you to choose staff members, but this is not one of those times. What really upsets me is the way the members are reacting. When we announced Sarah, Erin, and Dimstow you guys were fine. Now, all of a sudden there is an uproar. We've answered the questions concerning why we chose Karson as much as we need to. From here on out, you all need to trust that we chose him for good reasons, congratulate him, and move on. Thanks.

I for one did not apply to become an admin, not because I don't think I have the qualities to participate but because I believe that this community is open enough to allow you to push to change something within the site/community provided you try hard enough and if the majority allows it. No need to have hard feelings because you weren't selected. If you want something changed, speak up and work on it. No need to be an admin.
Nonetheless I would like to congratulate the new admin.
