I didn't mean that as an attack; I'm laying it out to be informative.
Lately I've seen threads sprouting up, either:
- Claiming that they're more qualified than people who made the cut.
- Claiming belief that poor application procedures are to blame for their unemployment.
- Claiming belief that a jail/ban record is to blame for their unemployment.
- Questioning the validity of our recommendation processes.

Ventus is exactly correct; it is frowned upon.
As is any thread that addresses any of the above scenarios.
Don't get me wrong: simply asking the question, "how do I get hired", isn't a bad thing.
But at this point in time, there are several threads out there that already address this question in depth.
I myself have written a few detailed responses on this matter.
It's a genuine question that somebody can address indefinitely, without their credibility going down the tubes.
But to question the administration, and publicly accuse their employment processes of discrimination?
I certainly hope nobody expects to get hired after this display of ignorance.
1) It shows immaturity.
2) It shows that you're not in it for the right reasons. You sound more hungry for power than anything.
3) It shows that you can't take criticism.
4) It's bad sportsmanship.
5) It shows the administration that they have made no mistake in turning you down.
That's like applying at a local hardware store, getting declined, then protesting at their front door with a sign saying, "Screw Meph's Hardware. He hired his best friend's sister instead of me!"
In the event of getting turned down, dust yourself off and try again.
If you feel the need to consult the status of your application, don't do it publicly.
Go directly to the person who denied you, and inquire on how you could improve.
And when they notify you, don't go public with it, claiming discrimination.
You could also compare yourself to one of the applicants that made the cut in an unbiased manner: What do they posses that you don't?
And it could very well be that they network better than you.
This is reality-- Networking is a large part of any employment process.
Get out there and network.
You gain nothing by feeling sorry for yourself.
None taken
I openly admit it- that record is what initially qualified me to be staff.
