What I'm afraid of is that someone ill-suited for a staff position with numerous friends will apply, and their friends will still back them; not because they deserve the position, but because they are friends. If we go ahead with this, I think the current staff should have the final say in an application to make sure this scenario doesn't occur. They would still needed to meet requirements. Anyone who doesn't meet the requirements of a position will have their application closed immediatly and a message would be left on their wall notifying them.
