Chubbs Idol Finals Q&A - MEMBERS

Do you think it's approppriate to criticise a fellow staff member publicly if a ruling exists that you completely disagree with?

Not appropriate. Rules are there for a reason - if I disagreed with one in particular, I'd talk to the rest of the staff in the staff forum about changing it. It wouldn't make sense to just disagree in public when a rule is already set in stone.

Also, how much time should you dedicate to doing your job?

'Should' never really occured to me. The standards for that are usually set by who dedicates the most time, and those people tend to end up staff. But on a less vague note: eh ... at least an hour a week. More if possible.

You don't think your job would entail helping members through the PM system? You'll find that if you're an active moderator, a multitude of members will be using the PM system for specific questions, advice on certain protocol, and etc. Granted, the QSU board is there for a reason. Still, my question stands.

Aye, I know. I've been staff before (not on Chubbs), and I'm used to getting lots of PMs/IMs. Most of the time, I'll do whatever people asked of me, and then say "ok, but next time, just post it on the QSU/whatever". And most of the time, those people learn and listen. Cargo was describing someone that was being ignorant and incessant - in other words, they won't listen to what you're saying. Like I said, most people do have a capacity for learning, but from time to time you get a few individuals who are completely and utterly obstinate in their ignorance. In which case, you pretty much have no choice but to teach them the rules the hard way.
