I'm going to reply to sections of this, instead of one big reply that I need to carefully think and make fluid.

"Thanks for info, I personally don't see the need for a stepping ladder at this point, some ranks work better on fanon than canon."

The stepping ladder serves many uses; decreases corruption, discourages those that just want quick staff, and trains those who become staff. I could probably come up with more, but I'll keep it simple. Also, comparisons between this wiki and Fanon probably shouldn't be made. This wiki hasn't endorsed it in almost a year and YandereDev does not like the wiki.

"I don't think we need to open more helper positions, I think we have too many helpers"

The current Helpers will no longer be Helpers by the time we hire more. They will have been promoted.

"more staff in lower positions = less quality"

But staff who worked through the lower positions to higher ones are trained and experienced by the time they get there. So the quality evens out.

"What we need are people who can ban others before they can do too much."

I understand; I want that too. Last month I did a pretty good job at this, but then my great-grandmother died and I moved. My move is entering the last stages, so I should be back to full Admin Duties. But even so, I do think we need more staff capable. I hope to one day promote someone to this.

"(Also chat people want another chat mod)"

There's still an open Chat Mod position. A Helper just needs to apply. Hopefully when people are being promoted to Discussion and Content, a Helper will apply or one of the future new Helpers will. But, I will be returning to being on chat often again now that my move's ending.

"when you get people who are incompetent asking to be staff."

This is why we have community votes and requirements. But I'd like to toss in a new idea, a "Helper Vote".

Say someone wins the community vote and passes the requirements; but it's clear they shouldn't be staff. Well, before they officially become a Helper, they must pass a "Helper Vote" which includes all the current Helpers, plus the Head Bureaucrat and Head Admin (this is in case there are few Helpers, also in case there's confusion Bureaucrats and Admins are separate ranks.), voting if they should become staff.

This is still only an idea; let me know what you think.

"there's already 2 people I don't think should be staff that are staff"

I'm guessing one of these people are Third, correct? I'm guessing that since he's inactive. I plan to demote staff for inactivity and enact a page/expand a page on how to demote staff who passed everything (maybe even a "Helper Vote") but the community no-longer wants them.
