Staff Applications 2017 March by Posighdun February 25, 2017 at 4:02 AM UTC
After talking to the rest of the Senior Staff we have decided we will be opening up staff applications in March. We're looking for active people more than anything else and we're going to be quite lenient. If you wish to apply for a moderating position then on the 3rd of March post your application under the Staff Application subform.Dates:
24th of February - Announced.
3rd of March - Staff Applications open.
10th of March - Interviews start.
3rd of April - Applications close.
Application Format & Criteria:
Will be released within the next few days.
Rules:
- No vulgar language, unless being used in the scenario section.
- Do not make troll applications, they will result in a permanent website ban.
- Do not harass Senior Staff about your application, doing so will decrease your chances.
- These applications are only for Moderating staff.
- You must use the proper formatting, using anything else will instantly get your application denied.
Criteria
- Must have at least 1 day of play time.
- Must not be banned.
- Must speak fluent english.
- Must be active on all Avicus services.
Application
Age:
Timezone:
Do you have access to TeamSpeak? Yes/No:
Do you have access to Skype? Yes/No:
Do you have access to a recording software? Yes/No:
CRITERIA 1: SELF REFLECTION/EVALUATION
Do you have any experience as a staff member on any servers?
What is your biggest weakness and how do you believe it will affect your moderating? What is your biggest strength and how would this affect your moderating?
How do you believe you can help improve the Staff Team?
What qualities does a leader need to have in your opinion? Do you consider yourself to be a leader? Why?
What attributes distinguish yourself from other players that qualify you to be a moderator?
What skills do you believe you should have when interacting with the community? Do you believe you have these skills?
How much time can you commit to being a staff member (Rough Idea)?
CRITERIA 2: GENERAL SITUATIONS
You are currently undergoing your junior moderator trial. A ban evader is online and he is constantly ban evading and hacking. You are the only one online and the only one who is able to be online. What would you do?
Another staff member is constantly joining and harassing other people on Teamspeak in their team channel. The staff member is also referee and has physical permissions to be in that channel. However the leaders do not want this staff member in there and they have asked him to leave multiple times. What would you do?
A player appeals a punishment you gave them. You realise that the evidence file is corrupted and therefore there is no physical evidence. You know however this person did indeed break the rules, what would you do?
You are in an Avicus team. One of your teammates is also an Avicus Staff member. One day in your team discord the team member/staff member posts a screenshot of a thread that only staff members can see. The content in the screenshot isn’t very important/confident but only staff members could see it on the forums. If anything, what would you do?
One day the Senior Staff team makes a decision you do not agree with. You do not know all the details of the decision or the circumstances in which they were made and you were simply told by another staff member. However you do not like the decision based from what you know. What would you do?
CRITERIA 3: OTHER
NOTE: This is a new criteria and these questions are less to do with right/wrong answer and more to do with us getting to know you. Please answer these honestly. There is no right or wrong answer.
What would getting moderator on Avicus mean to you?
How passionate are you about Avicus? What does Avicus mean to you?
Do you speak any other languages than English?
Do you have anything else to add to your application?
Good luck to those applying
- Senior Staff.

Do I make a google doc or something and then copy and paste my application (in the correct format of course) onto a post and put the post under staff apps?

You can do it on a google doc and copy-paste it in or copy the format to the "New Discussion" section. Up to you really :)
Good luck!

It is meant to show nothing, you're not meant to see other people's apps.

and a little suggestion to the actual mods before u leave the server call another mod to take your place and don't leave the server without mods

Yeah we need active mods in all platforms

You know, it's actually quite worrying that you can't learn from constructive criticism.
#TIMEISMONEY #CASHCASH
well anyway a pleasure talking to you boy
Goodnighht March 10, 2017 at 5:03 AM UTC
same thing i say lol, they can't learn a thing about responsibility ,anyway i really don't care how people think i am because i love myself and im in my best form. If you can't handle me its ok but im not even gonna try to fix that its almost dead.(a sr mod told me is gonna take a year to fix staff)#LOL

You can love yourself the way you are and still realize you need change. At this point you're being a hypocrite. You're telling everyone that they need to fix themselves and the server, without really giving any solutions, but you are told all the time to fix things, and I've seen many times where someone even tells you how, and you still sit here and criticize every little thing everyone else does. But guess what. You don't fix anything that you clearly need to work on.
It's not a bad thing to love yourself how you are, but please for the love of God realize that loving yourself and realizing you need to change is very different. I personally love myself, and I don't have a problem with what other people think of me, but I also realize that I'm not perfect and that I have a lot I need to improve on. You on the other hand are realizing that you have things that other people don't like about you but you're not willing to admit they are actually a problem. Take a hint.
Jotrexwitz March 11, 2017 at 1:03 AM UTC
I could sit here for an hour and tell you everything you said that makes no sense what-so-ever. I'd rather not do that. so I'm going to point out one main thing...

BoldAndBrash March 11, 2017 at 2:03 AM UTC
i dont understand why you take this personal .... its not its in general to the staff attitude.... in the other hand i need to improve myself in other things actually be less lazy and stuff like that. Also you only stick to this problem when you were mod i don't have anything against you, and the thing is that im sure that my last post things haven't change a lot , doesn't that prove my point, but now i just realize its impossible, so the only think im asking now is that mods before they leave the server the call another one so they don't leave the server alone.

Thanks!

MonkeySlap March 16, 2017 at 11:03 PM UTC
Not necessary, but not against the rules. You Sir, have proven my point. I use Bold in my texts, as a sort-of opposition to the limited amount of options available to users on the Forums. I mean, think about it! All we have is Bold, Italicize, Underlining, making charts, images, videos, but that's it. We can't color text, change the size, etc.I also like to sign my name after because it's a habit, and also because for the heck of it. Why not, right? YOU wrote it. YOU sign it.
