What are admin applications?
Admin applications express your interest in becoming an administrator on our servers.
Server administrator abilities are only given out on an INVITE basis. This means that you must make an application in the section below where people can post their recommendations.
If your application receives good feedback from the community, a current admin will make an 'admin app' thread in the internal admin only forum section and all admins discuss the application.
Finally a staff member makes the final decision to accept or reject the admin application.
Requirements
Responding to Comments
When you post an Admin Application, and you receive feedback. It is best just to acknowledge and accept the feedback/constructive criticism, instead of causing an argument, or rejecting the persons comment - It not only makes you look unprofessional but also decreases your chance of being accepted. Rejecting peoples comments on your application shows that you are immature and incapable of being an administrator. It is best to reply with something like "Thanks for the constructive criticism, I will try to work on that."
Giving Feedback
Invex Members and higher are able to provide feedback on admin applications.
When you go to +1 or -1 the applicant, really think about what you are going to say and back up your opinion with strong evidence. If you put no effort in replying to someones application, the comment will not be taken seriously and will just be disregarded or deleted. Please think hard about why you are actually agreeing or disagreeing with the persons ability to fill in the role of an admin.
What increases my chances of getting accepted?
If your admin application is approved, you will be promoted to admin for the nominated server but you will be considered a trial admin for the first 3 months after you obtain admin. During this time other server administrators have authority over you and can overrule you. Use this time to learn how to admin well and to learn about the admin commands. A Staff Member will let you know when your trial period is over (they may give it to you early in rare cases if you have contributed a lot). Trial admins do not receive free VIP as a perk until their trial period is over.
Note: There is no custom tag or rank for trial admins.
Best of luck!
