Voting on Applications.

I think when you apply for a job here at IdyllicStory... it should be mandatory to put a vote. It gives the players a chance to vote on how well the applier should get the job on a scale of 1-5.

1-Excellent
2-Good
3-Decent
4-Poor
5-Atrocious

It might also help with the staff on deciding who should get the job too. .

haters will vote bad and lovers will vote the best
and a bigger chance of people just asking people to vote nice or making new accounts
besides its not the peoples choice after all for who becomes GM or not

Seconded.
One thing I may add, a suggestion if you will, is an option for there to be no replies allowed on GM apps. Only by GMs themselves.

! Well, that is a good strategy.
I'm actually happy you do that, not that it has anything to do with me.
Just sounds like something that ends up for the better of the server.

Comments aren't important actually. It's just that players can give a message to the maker of the application. You should just look to the app itself if you wanna know if he/she might be suitable for the job.

Hm... I don't think so. I think you gms should give the players a chance to tell their minds. There might be some information that the applier forgot and another player might mention. I think for a good community... you should also give like 30% consideration to the players when choosing a GM.

Yes... I do agree that players might bribe other players to vote but there might be some decent players that actually vote depending on the application.

Besides... a community (server) is based of the people. If the staff isn't living up to what the players want... then they have a high chance of leaving. Trust. I've been to many servers that had CRAPPY GM's because they weren't professional, unbearable, or just abusing their powers.

You should give this a second thought or at least let the community have a say in who they want to be a GM in this server or not.

I never had problem with choosing a GM without asking regular players before
