From here on out, you all need to trust that we chose him for good reasons, congratulate him, and move on. Oh do we now?

Linus, it's okay. I was angry at first when I didn't get it, but then I realized that there are more important things in life. Yes I thought I was A good canidate, but apparently he was a better one. I know it's an old stage cliche, but there are no small parts, only small people. If you wanted to be an admin, I'm assuming you wanted to help us get to level five. You don't have to be an admin to do that. I realized that I was dissapointed and upset that I didn't get to be an admin, but I am now going to try to help in every way I can. And that starts out by losing with grace. Apparently the admins saw something in him they didn't see in you. But that doesn't mean they think any less of you, he was jus better suited for the job.
So once again, congrats Karson! You are going to be great!

Seeing this made me sick... Only because it's called "ice cream" and I just got home from work and I don't want to think about ice cream anymore.. But anyway, congrats Karson!

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. Cos everyone is jelous it wasn't them... I think you made the right desision <3 Yeah that about sums it up. xD I'm jealous, I'm not afraid to admit it. But that doesn't mean I don't think he deserves it, and is better suited than me, or anyone else. Good job Karson

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. 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. Oh please do not be bitter at me...I have no problem at all :[ I was just trying to formulate my idea at why people are reacting like that.

Congrats Karson!
I don't know you that well, but in time, we will all get to know our admins as family (hopefully). I know Speckley and Cortney a bit (the Cheery and the cute one).
Now I need a nickname for you. Come to the SPOTM skype chat and we can talk about it...

People just don't like being left in the dark. Most correct thing on this thread. I don't think people are upset with the decision, they just want to know what it's based off of. Perhaps they want to work on these qualities? Sure some are jealous, which is human nature, but I think mostly people, for what ever reason just want to know the criteria. Aside from that.. Congrats Karson, show 'em why they chose ya! x]

^ Its not asif they will be choosing more admins... so I don't know why people even want to know I think they're talking about how for some reason, the admins have been very secretive about the future of the Pogotribe. They're very secretive about everything now. Why they choose administrators, and even the smallest changes. Openness and community involvement should be a priority, and it was in the early days. But now the admins have become a sort of exclusive club, moving the tribe along without telling any of us. Not that the admins are doing a bad job or anything. In fact, i've never seen a forum so large that has barely any spam on it.
