they probably WANT to. i wonder what is causing most applications to fail. standards for moral character might be too high. just make a limited-privilege staff position that deals with grunt work with pretty much zero hope for advancement

people will still do it
Has nothing to do with people not having enough "moral character" I'd say more a lack of references and evidence that you can handle big responsibility.

I'd imagine its very similar in some ways to a government job that requires a high level security clearance if you are trying to make full GM. I.E. the totality of your entire life is taken into account. All your real life details are discussed. Need legit references who are able to interview, come from a good family who also comes from a good family, real evidence that you can be trusted, real evidence that you have handled responsibilities before (job, work, guild leader from a major blue guild etc.), evidence that you can be impartial, etc. A combo of those things.

Not hard to understand why moral character won't be a factor if you are Joey "Basement" WeedSmoker from the gas station with no background and no supporting references to back up anything you said.

On top of all that you have to interview well, click with the staff, give off the right energy and vibe. Just like any law enforcement job in the real world.

Not hard to see why most of the applicants aren't getting past Guide.
