Recommendation system(might have to be a custom plugin)
The recommendation system is fairly simple, it allows a Free or a prisoner to recommend a guard, or appreciate his/her hard work. How this works is that with a command /rec guardname , the guard will get 100BP added to his/her salary per hour. This money, however, will come from the pockets of the prisoners themselves. For example, if ZomgASpoon were to type "/rec MrLobby" , every time MrLobby receives his salary, 100BP will be added to it and ZomgASpoon will lose 100BP.
Pros:
1)This encourages guards to do their job. Instead of having a guard block where guards go back to the life of a prisoner and begin to mine for money, this will make guards focus on doing their job and getting noticed by the people.
2)Helps to track good guards. A guard with more recommendations from people would sort of mean he is doing his job well doesn't it?
3)Prisoners get a say. Right now, promotions are done by the Wardens and Alpha Guards, with this recommendation system, Prisoners are allowed to vote for who they think is the best guard.
4)Frees are too rich. (Personal Opinion)
5)Give guards more money.
Cons:
1)People may not use the system. This may happen during the introduction of this system, but I believe that as time goes on and more people begin to recommend the guards they like, this system would soon become a norm.
2)Guards will get bribed. I think that this would really depend on the integrity of the guard, also, the other guards can help to keep a watch out for their fellow staff members.
3)Popularity will cause people to be bias. This would turn out to be a real problem, if anyone has a solution, please feel free to say it.
Conditions:
-A prisoner is allowed to recommend as many people as he/she wants to
-Alts are forbidden from recommending
Other alternatives:
The prisoner can choose the amount of money he wishes to give the guard, but he would have to pay a fee of 100BP every time the guard receives his salary. (Prevents guards from giving back the money and Prisoners will have to be selective on who they really want to recommend)

I would really like to try Trainee-Guard, atleast one chance. To Prove myself
8) (optional) Post a screenshot of your kill-death ratio using /kdr

I have read all 3 sets of rules thoroughly. 5)Any experience with the prison genre? Yes, i was an head-guard on trapped and guard on killion. 6)Whatis your time zone? Eastern standard Time 7)Why are you the best choice for guard? I am the best choice for guard because I've been guard on 2 other server with almost the exact same guard rules as convicted and I am a good at PvP. I am the best choice because I know how to handle all situations I'm put in and I enjoy helping people. I like playing on this server and would like to help the server and the community a little bit more by becoming a guard. I know how to keep prisoners in line and how to handle them, as i was guard on 2 other prison servers. I haven't ever lost my cool and know not too and just ignore some of the rash things prisoners can say. I feel my past experience with being head-guard and guard on 2 other prison servers allows me to be the best choice for the next guard position. I have been trying to stay as active as possible as i can on the server and to try and help the guards even though they usually end up killing me. I have helped new players with many questions they have about where things are in the prison and the best ways to make money and also a few with financial problems. I feel that these traits I have give me to be the best choice for guard. @@_NOAKII_@@ 8)Whatis your current rank?Do you understand that we will require PROOF of your rank when/if you retirefrom guard?

4) Have you read the Server, Prison, and Guard Rules? Of course who hasnt? It is the most important thing to do.
5) Any experience with the prison genre? It is my favorite type of server and when I found this one I loved the staff and the overall enviorment this is now my main server.
6) What is your time zone? EST (Eastern Standard Time)
7) Why are you the best choice for guard? I have a very good relationship with the guards right now I talk to them a lot I know all the rules by heart. I am in position of authority on many other servers but I find this one the best. I have already told everyone in my class about this server and they all love it! some people I have told are commanderAIK and zzwerling. I would be a great addition to this server! and I would be happy to serve. I have also seen some trainees that just give up a chase. I never give up a chase. I will chase them till I kill them really. I am also a great PVP'r It has been really boring just seeing all these prisoners attack me and break the rules I would like to use my pvp skills for a greater use and defend people instead of fighting back. I think I am a well known enough figure on the server that I deserve to be a guard I really hope someone will take a chance and read my application!

Recommendation system
Cons:
1)People may not use the system. This may happen during the introduction of this system, but I believe that as time goes on and more people begin to recommend the guards they like, this system would soon become a norm.
2)Guards will get bribed. I think that this would really depend on the integrity of the guard, also, the other guards can help to keep a watch out for their fellow staff members.
3)Popularity will cause people to be bias. This would turn out to be a real problem, if anyone has a solution, please feel free to say it.
Interesting. Unfortunately, it's likely some guards (not me, what do i need money for???) would become bias or corrupt. But if the guard were to take bribes and look the other way for ppl who pay him, he'd be demoted fairly quickly.
Well my personal opinion as stated. Any feedback for the idea?
I can't seem to get on the server too, so...
Server Down?
My first small words ever! My birthday this year: 12/12/12
Yes, I like the idea. Though we probably would have to make the pluggin. (As you stated)
Also, In the situation of a bribe (as stated by Doug), Viper could make a server rule That would State:
"Any guard who takes a bribe to Ignore a fight or other illegal activities will be demoted down to their previous prisoner rank." Though it might not prevent it, it's just like any other rule. Example: X-Ray, You don't know its happening till you catch them. Bribing, You don't know it's happening till you catch them.
Or for a rougher punishment for taking bribes: "Any guard who takes a bribe to Ignore a fight or other illegal activities will be temporarily banned for 10 days and stripped of their title as Guard. Taking the bribe shows you are immature and unfit to be a guard."

Actually, this system was intended for guards to be recognized for their hard work on the server, the money was just to make the voter more selective on his/her choice of guard, it is also a small reward for the guard. Thanks for supporting the idea(I hope that was what you meant)

I believe that should also be included inside the rules to prevent the corruption of guards. I will edit my post once I get the chance to. Thanks for supporting the idea, your feedback is highly valued.

We will require the help of senior guards(like you or some other guard) or alpha guards to help make sure non of the guards are taking bribes. Frees will also need to cooperate with us and report guards who are abusing and not killing who they should be killing. Thanks for the sig btw, looks really nice
