So, tryouts for the team are back open. Go to the IRC if you’re interested. Stay there since some of us are accustomed to idling and it may take a while to see.<\/p>\n
Our glorious motherland has been on a downward slide recently. We’re the longest living site, we’ve done everything, but you wouldn’t be able to tell from the way things look right now.<\/p>\n
If you want to see new hacks, look below this post. I’m making this post public because we have a commitment to the public and I think transparency is an important thing to have.<\/p>\n
I think we may need to revamp the way we conduct operations around here, or better yet, reverse them. See after the jump.<\/p>\n

1. PAVGN does not have hiring firing power. I (PZT) and BP do. Come to one of us if you need anything. If we’re not there, wait. Get some patience.
\n2. PAVGN, if you want to hire somebody, come to us about it. I can’t necessarily say I like your decisions and me and BP reserve the right to veto within reason.
\n3. Come to the IRC, and keep coming. This is basically a prerequisite. We want to get to know people when they join. This used to be a de facto requirement but then suddenly everybody forgot.
\n4. Unless they’re incredible, don’t hire people who make PSAs as their only thing. This new guy gets grandfathered in, but seriously, PSAs are really hard to get right.
\n5. Try to look for new team mates who aren’t taken, show me or BP their work, and ask\/hire if approval is given, and only if approval is given. Considering our workforce is way down, we could use some fresh blood. And if me or BP say no, no means no. Consult with me and BP. Not just one or the other.
\n6. We have standards. For you new people, we used to have standards about every post and GUESS WHAT they’re reinstated. Title the post. Describe what’s in the post. Put a more tag. (after the jump to bloggers) Put a gallery (6 square thumbnailed pictures with captions (title\/description fields). Then a download. Then if you want more text after the download, it’s your call.
\n7. There will be a method of uploading files directly to the site if you are a staff member without FTP access. It’s not done yet.
\n8. Apply some tact to things. Don’t post stuff like half-finished Naruto PSAs or naked characters.<\/p>\n
