Do you guys think that moderators should be selected/chosen by department heads to assist in the duties that the seniors perform? I have suggested this on slack a few times, however I want ask you lads!
You guys are a big enough team to work together on everything. Seniors are heads of their department , that's different. There's enough of you guys without having to make it more complex.
I think that the head of the department should be able to have a few assistants, it makes it so more people have the right information, players have been having trouble getting the correct information when asking staff because only one or two people know the correct answer. but if assistants are added, that is more people who would know the correct answer.
Plus if a senior stepped down, they've got someone who has knowledge of the department already and could be a probable senior candidate for the vacant spot and take over as the head of that department. It would cause more continuity in the departments and ultimately bring more progress.
I think this server needs more teamwork and no more of "I'm a higher rank thank you so I'm more important" act. There are mods who have great ideas and can benefit the server in many ways. So I think yes, they should assist.
I'm all for it. In fact, I'll put an @group message in Senior Staff slack asking others' opinions. This gives Mods a little bit more responsibility, a taste of Senior Staff work, and close relationships with Senior Staff members.
I have been put in charge of departments that are not really covered by the Sr staff but it is still part of the server and someone has to do it. I do not want mods put in place just because they are a mod and want something to do. I only want people that can handle the situation and do it right.

Yeah, it most likely wouldn't be random assignments at all.
It should be focused to train moderators correctly before putting certain moderators to assist in Sr Staff Jobs. There is a reason why Sr Moderators and Moderator are different positions. Mods are here to moderate all platforms of avicus & make sure all rule breakers get punished. Sr Staff are partially there for the moderating part but have other behind the scene jobs that are meant to be kept private until spoken of. Not a fan of this idea at all :| Sorry.
I recommend a mentor per department to be an 'apprentice' if you like.
Yeah I think that's good.
I do see vlads point though, mods moderate, not run the server, but more experienced mods should get prepped for Sr mod if they could potentially get it
I disagree with this. There is a reason why senior moderator is a different rank to moderator - because they do seperate work. As vlad stated above; it should be kept seperate.

I thought this was the point? The 'departments' should be task forces. A group of people working towards a goal. No wonder I was antsy about the choices, the 'senior staff departments' are just responsibilities for each member.
