Is it possible to recommend people, too? Because there are a couple of people I think would make brilliant admins, and I'd feel sad for them if they wouldn't be chosen because their application wasn't 'creative' enough.

As of now, I don't see an official means of recommending somebody But I took charge and made this threadwaiting for someone else to make a thread like this, I did it. Now I know it is not as personal as a private message to the people doing the choosing, but I think this type of thread makes public some awesome people! Awesome awesome people. We have many of them on the moon.

Hmm... I might apply this time.. but two quick questions are the skype calls GMT+1-friendly and I guess being absent because of finals and vacation time is allowed? xD

We have certain "values" (although unwritten), too. We have to make sure all of the admins follow these values, yknow. Wouldn't that mean that you are basically a tribe within the tribe? O.o

Any community of people is a tribe - so admins are a tribe within the pogotribe.
Also wondering what time/day the skype meetings are usually? I don't know my work schedule for the summer quite yet, so this may be a deterrent to me applying.

Right now, you cannot "officially" recommend someone. I quite like the idea, though, so I'll bring it up in the next admin call.
It would probably be something like, 1) You would have to know the person you're recommending has already decided to apply on their own. 2) You would have to mention to the person that you're recommending them. 3) You would send your application to the same e-mail address with the title, "Recommend: Username" where you replace Username with the person's name on the forum.
Do not send in any recommendations yet.
Just because I like this idea and have just brainstormed doesn't mean the other admins will agree. They may see some reason why we shouldn't accept recommendations. Keep in mind, our next admin call is 6 days from now, so the time to send in recommendations, if we do it, will be cut in half (unless we can come to a conclusion before Sunday textually). You'd still have a week, but.
Unofficially (in this thread or Jon's or whatever), you can recommend to your heart's content, but I doubt that is going to effect our decision at all.

Calls are Sundays at 3pm EST.
Don't not apply because that doesn't fit your schedule, though. o.O Both new admins will be asked if that works for them. If it does not, we will change the time. It's not a big deal.

I dont get why people keep talking like the admins are politicians. They're more like secretaries and you don't vote for secretaries.
Anyway, I'm actually applying this time >.>
