Clearly there's an issue when just about every active, non-staff player in the thread agrees? I just think the whole selection process has a lot of unnecessary barriers that are keeping helpful and qualified people out of a position, and then staff say "we work with what we've got" when the reality is that the process is apparently heavily skewed towards GPs who are "presentable" rather than ones who are experienced and effective.
I don't even know what that means anyway. Are some of these GPs presentable? We don't even know who they are… Is it their forum reputation that puts them ahead of others? Well, the majority of them don't post on the forums so their reputations are non-existent. How is that a plus?
Just my two cents.
