Like the topic title says, Would you hire staff with low post count?
While I know some people state that post count means nothing, I feel like it does (to a point).
In the past I've worked with staff members who have very little posts who end up disappearing on the job. I have never been fond of people who get a staff position and then they go on a no show basis .Which happens a lot with members with very low post count. it doesn't look good when they have a post count of 1 or 30 or 300. I personally would like to see more out of them before they're given a staff position. As far as staff goes, activity says a lot to me.
I feel like they need to contribute more and demonstrate activity over a span of months and partaking in the forum before they are given any staff privileges. A lot of members just want it to feel validated. Any time the forum owner lets us in on who should be added to the team, I normally set my sights on a member who has contributed a lot to the community, isn't violating rules, and is very active. I figure that won't change once they are on staff. Would you say that is reasonable?
