I'd like to start this off by saying thank you to everyone who turned in questionnaires and application reviews. We had some strong candidates and it was a hard choice. However, at the end of the day it boiled down to two candidates. @mira and Corbin MacBranain . Though I will not publicly share your answers or reviews, I will however publicly talk to you both about what you did good and not so well with. Don't take any of this personally as this is just to help you learn and see what you may have missed! Again, this was an incredibly hard decision so good luck.
Corbin
So up first, let's talk about the questionnaire. - The fact that you have had experience before as a staff member on other sites was a plus. It's good to have experience so this was a plus. - Being up to date with the show gave you some major points. It's important for staff to know what is and isn't in the show. Not everyone is caught up, but the fact that you are was something I really liked. - Activity is a big thing for a staff member, the fact that you're on quite a bit made a difference. - You stated that you didn't think it was possible to make a character who has died on the show. Actually, it is. Of course some of these characters are listed on the canon page but people may request to take some who are not listed. - You answered that stars meant admin and hearts meant mods, next to names. However, this is not the case. Stars mean staff period, red are admin but purple are mods. Hearts represent people who have paid for cbox, if they ever do this they are gifted a heart to a character of their choosing! Let's move on to your application review. I'd like to say that I really liked the style in which you wrote the review. To me, that's one of the biggest things when reviewing a character. You were kind and descriptive, and explained why the things you pointed out were wrong and needed to be changed. However, you did miss things and I will list them below. - You didn't catch that his race and species group was all wrong. It was said that he was an African American for his race and that he was a human for species group. This is wrong, as Human is the race. The race is always either human, demon, angel, creature, god, or spirit. Species groups are like hunters, psychics, witches, black-eyed demons, seraphs, phoenixes, dragons, etc. - On the same note, you should have told him that he would've needed to put "psychic" under his species group as well. - Traits are a big deal when it comes to looking at an application. When reviewing, it is important for the staff member to make sure that these traits refer to their personality and not skills they possess. With that said, the positive Gun Expert and the negative Bad Dancer, needed to be changed. You did catch bad dancer so good job, but it was under different circumstances. - You caught onto the mistakes made about the werewolf, which was great. However, what you missed with it was the actual description of the werewolf. "It was a werewolf and it had black fur all over and these big demonic red eyes and literally scared BJ to death." - This was wrong, as it is not an accurate description of a werewolf. - You caught onto the sister not being mentioned at all, which was a good catch that not even I or Beth purposely created! So good eye! - You did well catching the Dean/Sam tie. While this could've actually of been possible they still would've had to have it admin approved and they would also have to talk to both Sam and Dean's players. - There were some things that weren't all that important and didn't need to be addressed. Such as adding if his family was deceased or alive. Also the talking in rhymes bit was okay being both in the description and listed as a negative trait. - Lastly, you did not catch the fact that they did not fill out the codeword section at the bottom - which this is a very important section of an application as it shows us that the person has read the rules. All in all I really enjoyed how you did your review and this is just some constructive criticism and praise of it! The decision was incredibly hard, as I've stated before. Below are your results whether or not you've made the cut.  Good job! You've got the job! Over all your review style and good eye impressed us and you answered the questionnaire relatively well! So, now your first order of business will actually be to take on a new alias. It needs to be something Supernatural related and you will have to make an account for it on the board. If you need help choosing something, I can be of assistance. You will also need to choose one character account within the cbox to be modded, this will give them a purple star next to their name and grant you mod abilities on said account! You will now be able to review apps, moderate the chat for trolls and rules, and help keep lists updated. Congrats! Welcome to the team!

So, let's begin with your questionnaire, Hannah. - Having no experience before was a point against you, but your willingness to learn and your time as a member has proven that you could make up for it. - You've seen very little of Supernatural, and I suggest you truly begin to watch the show. It'll help you in the long run. However, you've expressed to me your plan of reviewing apps and finding out details so I have faith that you will do your best and learn more about the series. - Activity is a big thing for a staff member, the fact that you're on quite a bit made a difference. - You stated that it wasn't possible to make a character who has died on the show. Actually, it is. Of course some of these characters are listed on the canon page but people may request to take some who are not listed. So let's move onto your application review! Overall, you got straight to the point and did well at catching some things. You were blunt and didn't leave room for argument, which can be good. However, I would like to see a bit more sensitivity and descriptiveness in your reviews. It's good to give the person feedback, if something is wrong explain a bit why it is and maybe give them suggestions on how to fix it or add to the character. - You caught the species group and race section of the application, which is great. However, he needed to add that he was a "psychic" within his species group. It'd look something like "hunter/psychic". - Traits are a big deal when it comes to looking at an application. When reviewing, it is important for the staff member to make sure that these traits refer to their personality and not skills they possess. With that said, the positive Gun Expert and the negative Bad Dancer, needed to be changed. You did catch bad dancer so good job, but it was under different circumstances. - You caught some facts about the werewolf lore being wrong in the app, yet you didn't really explain it fully for them to understand. You said they didn't need to eat kidneys to survive, which is true but you needed to write that this would be hearts instead. You also missed the description of the werewolf, as that is also incorrect. - You used logic when thinking about the knife stabbing into the things skull, that was a good headset for a staffer to have. - You told him it was impossible to hear about Sam/Dean, which actually is false. In Supernatural, their names are spread throughout the community because of them being mixed up in big events like the apocalypse. The brothers are kind of "hunter famous" if you will. You should have also pointed out the family tie that he wrote into the app. If someone wants a canon tie, they must get it admin approved and then talk to the owners of those characters in order to okay this. - There were some things that weren't all that important and didn't need to be addressed. Such as telling him that he didn't need to write "The End" or that he ended up in Zeppelin City. The use of emojis is another thing, it wasn't that important. At the end of the day, your review was decent and you've expressed your want for this position and desire to get better at reviews. You've been around for a while, and you would make for a good moderator within the chat itself. While you aren't the best for forum moderation, you are certainly not the worst and can easily improve.  Good job! You've got the job! Over all though your review style can improve it got the job done and you caught some important details. So, now your first order of business will actually be to take on a new alias. It needs to be something Supernatural related and you will have to make an account for it on the board. If you need help choosing something, I can be of assistance. You will also need to choose one character account within the cbox to be modded, this will give them a purple star next to their name and grant you mod abilities on said account! You will now be able to review apps, moderate the chat for trolls and rules, and help keep lists updated. Congrats! Welcome to the team! |
