Counter Strike Confederation - s10-admin-election

@League @Spectator Hello everyone! Welcome to the Season 10 Admin Election Discussions. This channel (and threads) will be made available until 11:59pm ET on Wednesday (12/14). Voting will open shortly after or the next day. There are two admin positions open! The backer pool consisted of 18 former admins, GMs, and Committee Heads. Anexilia (GM), Assass1n (GM), Fuffy (Former Admin), Hawkish (GM), Hermit (GM), Homer (CH - Numbers), JermzPC (GM), megatallicayer (CH - Mods), mutant (CH - TM), Nightfury (CH - Tech), Spence (Former Admin/GM), Splatmonkey (Former Admin), Supreme (GM), TNoodle (Former Admin/GM), VIPVeral (Former Admin), yeldniL (CH - Events), and yetiF (CH - Stats). We had 6 candidates backed by the pool, they are:

kowalskey
King Willy
42Firehawk
Apache
scraps
SmartAsSuperman Please use the threads to ask candidates questions, even if it is the same question for each candidate. This helps to keep things organized as well as makes it much easier for each of our candidates to be able to keep track of what questions they have being asked to them. As a reminder, you must have participated in Season 9 as a player (signed, FA, PFA) or staff member to be eligible to vote, but anyone is eligible to participate in asking questions to the candidates. Please keep these channels on topic and do not post memes or gifs. These channels are meant to be serious and mods/admins will deny individual people the ability to participate in discussions if the channel starts getting abused. I would also like to note that Admin Candidates are not able to promise anything if they get elected as Admin, as we have internal voting for changes to the league/server that requires the majority of admins to vote in favor of a proposed change. If you have any questions regarding anything to do with the Admin Election, ask in here or #help!

so you mean to tell me I can't ask which is the better power ranger: pink or yellow in each thread? What's an admin election without lindley's pressing question topics SADGE

1:51 PM

noodle knows whatsup

can candidates ask other candidates questions

...yes?

Yeah

why wouldn't they be able to

1:52 PM

lol

It’s a valid question imo

2

Completely valid

FA | kowalskey 🏆🏆

can candidates ask other candidates questions

I mean we're also voting for another admin as well

the irony of people applying for admin yet not having the dedication to fill out a thorough questionnaire baffles me

its 4 questions

2:40 PM

like 20 mins of work at most

Lets not start poking fingers at people unnecessarily

Imma poke on the ballot frfr

The weight of words sometimes, are heavier than the amount.

Very well articulated kowalskey!

Some don’t feel it’s necessary

You can be short and straight to the point, or have more to elaborate on where you think necessary. That's why we get to ask questions in order to get clarification or elaboration on whatever topic you believe is necessary. (edited)

thePunkville 🏆🏆

Some don’t feel it’s necessary

its literally an entry form as a candidate

thePunkville 🏆🏆

Some don’t feel it’s necessary

But most do and it’s off putting to see someone (as a lot of the public has perceived) not putting effort into the biggest election

5

4:09 PM

Just speaking in generalities here

4:10 PM

It’s a minimum bar sure, you can fill out as much as you want but the answers provided share a lot about the character of the person running by how much time and effort is put into the questions

4:11 PM

At least from my point of view

Splat go to bed

NAN | DerPreusse

Yeah woke up because the bed sucks it’s not soft at all (theme in Asia from what I’ve heard)

True to a curtain extent, but let’s say it’s a job/resume. When I was younger I put hella time an effort into trying to diamond in the rough. Now that I’m older with experience I put in a resume an let them seek me out.

My back hurts smh

Splatmonkey 🏆

my bed at home is a brick and I hate it

4:15 PM

idk how I used it for years

Splatmonkey 🏆

Yeah woke up because the bed sucks it’s not soft at all (theme in Asia from what I’ve heard)

Do you at least have a mattress? I've been told some places literally have wooden beds

NAN | DerPreusse

Do you at least have a mattress? I've been told some places literally have wooden beds

Let’s move to general but yes it’s a mattress

Lets keep the channel on topic, Splat can share the stories in #traveling !

yeah but if your resume has 3 lines and has very little info, no job is going to call you back

Again, let's try and not point fingers. This topic has been fleshed out already.

It’s like a cover sheet, is it necessary? Most of the time no. But it does let you set yourself apart

? What’re you even talking bout

Splatmonkey 🏆

It’s like a cover sheet, is it necessary? Most of the time no. But it does let you set yourself apart

I hate the cover sheet thing doing them online.

some sites no so you have to put with resume some have a different upload for it. So I have 3 different files resume w cover and the two separately

I just assumed sites that didn't have a separate download didn't want one. Like lets be honest no way those get read anyway.

Sw1ft

Again, let's try and not point fingers. This topic has been fleshed out already.

Sw1ft buddy, the entire point of admin elections is to pick the best candidate, and if a candidate's responses to questions are part of that, then their efforts should reflect their value as an admin

the whole job seeking process needs an overhaul

To me it just shows that the candidate doesn't have any specific goals as admin. This is a fine approach if you explain your campaign in much more detail in the responses to your thread but it also usually backfires since most people ignore the discussions and make their decisions after reading the platform, if they even decide to read it.

(edited)

to me the prompts are the foundation of the discussion. If you don't have goals as admin why are you taking the place of someone who does?

5:07 PM

when you turn in your resume you're expecting questions based on what you wrote down. you don't turn in a blank paper and smile at them until they ask a question (edited)

I agree, if you can't think of specific actions that you will campaign for as admin and are instead like "i make league better" or "i make x part of league better" as your platform then you shouldn't be elected. Thats why I think the candidates who are vague in their prompts need to make up for it in the responses

true

6:36 PM

at least from when I ran

6:36 PM

I think because of my responses I gained a lot more trust

6:36 PM

rather than just running on my application

6:36 PM

which yetif helped me with

OS | Cash 🏆

I think because of my responses I gained a lot more trust

You’re also a well known gm, well liked in your interactions with other people

8:34 PM

You want your admins to be friendly and approachable as well, especially for new people

I'd say 80% of elections are about existing standing in the community. Cash is someone a lot of people know/trust, reminds me of Spence back in S6 who won and somehow nobody noticed he was opposing public MMR, and even if he said it outright I think people still would've voted for him (edited)

Tbf he said he was open to it, and I think having admins that are open to ideas is huge

8:35 PM

The worst is bringing up ideas or thoughts and having them shut down or ignored

Yeah. Tho when another admin changed his stance it meant numbers stayed private and we got a whole storm... But now we live in a public numbers utopia

Everything is perfect now and nothing needs to change

Anyways back on topic to current elections: a person's prior experience and community involvement are very important. Anyone now super in the CSC loop should go read up on what people put for their application/ask clarifying questions on that.

@pecan50 🏆🏆 you've been nominated to be all time CSC Admin debate host
