Becoming an administrator is not simply about asking for the position—it’s about proving through your actions that you are a responsible, mature, and trusted member of the community. This guide outlines the key qualities and behaviors we expect from anyone interested in joining the admin team.
Administration is a responsibility, not a reward. If your goal is to improve the server experience for everyone, your maturity, helpfulness, and consistency will naturally stand out. When the time comes for new admins, those qualities will place you at the top of the list.
1. Consistent Activity
- In-Game Presence: Play regularly so that both players and staff recognize you.
- Community Involvement: Participate in Discord, forums, or other platforms where we interact.
- Reliability: Show that you’re invested in the server long-term, not just when applying for admin.
2. Professionalism and Maturity
- Respectful Conduct: Treat all players equally, regardless of skill level or time spent on the server.
- Conflict Management: Handle disputes calmly without escalating situations.
- Rule Adherence: Demonstrate that you understand and follow server rules at all times.
3. Willingness to Help
- Player Support: Answer questions from new players and guide them when needed.
- Rule Reinforcement: Remind others of server policies in a polite, constructive manner.
- Community Assistance: Offer help beyond the game, such as reporting issues or providing feedback.
4. Responsibility and Accountability
- Integrity: Never abuse commands, votes, or any privileges available to you.
- Reporting: Document and report cheaters, exploiters, or toxic behavior properly.
- Reliability: Be someone the community and staff can count on to act fairly and responsibly.
5. Building Trust with Current Staff
- Positive Engagement: Interact respectfully with current admins and moderators.
- Supportive Role: Assist with small tasks (e.g., gathering evidence of rule-breaking, helping moderate discussions).
- Trustworthiness: Let your consistent behavior demonstrate that you can be relied upon with greater responsibility.
6. Patience and Commitment
- Understanding the Process: Admin positions are limited and are offered when the community needs them.
- Long-Term Contribution: Continue being a positive force regardless of whether you’re promoted immediately.
- Mindset: Admin is not about power—it is about service. Those who act like admins before having the title are the ones most often chosen.
Final Note
Administration is a responsibility, not a reward. If your goal is to improve the server experience for everyone, your maturity, helpfulness, and consistency will naturally stand out. When the time comes for new admins, those qualities will place you at the top of the list.
