[Guide] Staff Application Format

Please use this format when applying for any staff position. Currently we have 3 staff positions Helper, Mod and Admin (Discluding Owner of course). If you are applying for Mod or Admin there is a possibility that you have to go through a period of being Helper until the Staff makes a final decision if you should be accepted or not. Do not apply for Admin without prior experience with servers and linux.

We will try to review all applications as soon as possible. If we don’t happen to get to it right away please be patient and do not bug staff members to review it. If you do this will decrease your chances of being Accepted


Do not bump your application or keep applying, we will review it when we have a chance. If your application is rejected re-apply if you wish in around 1 month time from the rejected application or wait until a staff member recommends you apply again.


Note that if you lie on any part of your application, you reduce your chances heavily (this includes your age/ GMT/ Bans etc.)
