For the relief of iA, and protecting forum from people like these
sorry for bringing those up
I want iA to hire some people, ofc, staff
In the topic I will be suggesting 3 types of staffs, what will they do, how to be one of them, and how iA is going to hire them
The whole system is kind of complex so make sure you read with full brain mode on
NOTE: No official note from iA about staffs (afaik) and terms used like ‘google form’ and ‘contact admins’ don’t actually exist. This is only a framework of how will iA implement staff-ing in the forum.
Lets see how to apply
Make sure you meet the minimum requirements. If you can, have references from other Moderators and Admins. This would make the process a lot easier during the interview.
Requirements
- Have stayed on the forum for 3 months
- Have at least 2 days of read time
- Trust level must be 2 (Member)
- You must not have any flags under 2 months old
- Have been playing the game for 6 months
- Rank in-game should be more than 50
- If your application is denied, you must wait 2 weeks before re-applying
- If you have been a Trainee but were denied after Phase 2, you must wait 2 weeks before re-applying.
- Unauthorized assistance (ChatGPT) is strictly prohibited and will be instantly denied.
- References from Moderators and Admins are optional (a Mod or Admin that guarantees that you won’t cause trouble)
If you have any questions or concerns about the requirements, contact the Administrators before applying.
After fulfilling requirements and references (optional), you have to fill the Google Form provided. Wait untill an admin check it, he will invite you in a DM and then take an interview of you. If he sees potential in you, you will be promoted to a temporary rank, Trainee.
After a month, you will have to give another interview and the Admins would check if you can be a Moderator or not.
The Process
Phase 1
- Application processed (by an admin)
- Invited for an interview if you meet the requirements (DMs by Admins)
- Will become a trainee or denial
Phase 2
- After a month of being a trial, You take the Moderator Exam (DMs by Admins)
- Moderator or denial
Here is what the application template would look like. All these questions will be in the Google Form that you have to fill. (Im still not sure the application would be taken on either forum (DMs) or Google Form)
Application Template
- What is your In-game username?
- What is your Forum username?
- What is your E-mail?
- Why do you feel you would make a good staff member?
- Do you have any previous experience in moderation?
- Who are your staff references (optional)?
- Additional?
‘How to become a staff’ done
Lets talk about the ranks
Rank 3 - Trainees
These are the people who applied for Moderator. Trainee is a temporary rank to learn how to be a good staff before you become a Moderator. If you pass Phase 1, you’ll become a Trainee. And after Phase 2, you will become a moderator.
Permissions
- Observation: Access to view certain staff channels for learning purposes.
- Guided Moderation: Assist in monitoring chats under Moderator supervision.
- Report Handling: Identify and flag rule-breaking content for staff review.
- Support: Answer basic community questions and assist new players.
Rank 2 - Moderators
Moderators are official staff members who have successfully passed both phases of training. They are responsible for maintaining order and enforcing guidelines daily.
Permissions
- Enforce Rules: Actively ensure all community guidelines are being followed.
- Chat Monitoring: Remove spam and stop player abuse in real-time.
- Action Tools: Ability to warn, mute, kick, or ban (24-hour limit) offenders.
- Conflict Resolution: Handle arguments and solve user problems effectively.
- Reporting: Document and report major issues or complex cases to Admins.
- Community Safety: Keep the environment welcoming and safe for all users.
- Watching Trainees: Observe the actions of trainees.
Rank 1 - Admins
Admins are the highest level of authority. They oversee all community operations, manage the staff team, and make final decisions regarding server policy and high-level appeals.
Permissions
- Promote / Demote: Manage the rank and status of all staff members.
- Full Moderation: Access to warn, mute, kick, and permanent ban tools.
- Rules & Policy: Create, update, and finalize all community rules.
- Staff Management: Hire or remove Moderators based on performance.
- Ban Appeals: Manage and make final decisions on ban appeal requests.
- Announcements: Handle server-wide announcements and official events.
Still haven’t talked how to become an admin. After a full year of being a Moderator, you will have to give another interview, that will directly be taken by iA. He would be the one deciding that will you become and admin or not
Now its not a simple rank any person can get and it does require a lot of time so it also has some requirements
Requirements
- Have stayed on the forum for 1 year
- Have at least 10 days of read time
- Trust level must be 3 (Regular)
- Have been a Moderator for 1 year
- You must not have any flags under 6 months old
- Have been playing the game for 1 year and 6 months
- Rank in-game should be atleast 99 with atleast 100 hours of playtime
- If your application is denied, you must wait 4 weeks before re-applying
- If you have been denied by iA, you must wait 4 weeks before re-applying.
- Unauthorized assistance (ChatGPT) is strictly prohibited and will be instantly denied.
- References from Admins are optional (an Admin that guarantees that you won’t cause trouble)
If you have any questions or concerns about the requirements, contact the Administrators before applying.
If normal users have a problem, contact Moderators and Admins.
If trainees have a problem, contact Moderators and Admins.
If moderators have a problem, contact other Moderators and Admins.
If Admins have a problem, contact other Admins and iA.
If iA have a problem, im sorry.
NOTE: The amount of maximum staffs in a category
5 Admins
10 Moderators
3 Trainees (at a time)
There shouldn’t be a lot of people in the staff team. If a staff gets unregular on the forum, does a crime, or smth like that, he will be demoted / removed from staff team.
Now, I want to suggest some people who are perfect for being staffs. These people are only suggestions and if iA thinks of making them staff note they will directly be a staff and normal processes (application-interview-1 year wait) wont apply to them. (can have an interview tho)
First, for the admin rank. I have a person who is literally perfect for being an admin. I have never seen him in a fight, he always help people in need, knows most of the things about the game, is an official translator of a language, is an OG, and he is Pinanas. Some other people than im not too sure about but im this sure that they are great for being one of the first admins are JustDoIt, Neonova_Solara, and MafiaPlay2.
Now for the Moderators. Darth_Skembesion, iifireii, OneWingLunarian, PlasmaX (can also be an admin i think) and me
The topic has ended, this is what staff should be according to me. Let’s see if iA implement this idea. Just after I created this topic, a new tag named ‘staff’ has appeared. If you think that any permission is unfair, or any change should be done in some section, let me know.
