Admin Application Status: Open

Application Formats

Use the provided format and make a new thread with it in this subforum. The community will then post their opinions of your rise through the ranks. When you post your application you may want to try and inform any current staff members you know, as their posted opinions of you will help your application. Upper staff will then deliberate and determine if your application is approved. You will be informed of when you are approved or why you were denied. Submit only one application for the next applicable rank, as only one will be considered. Carefully read this page and write the application as accurately as possible the first time. Major edits may confuse the admins and members commenting. The application will be reviewed by the TTT admins and a response will close the thread. Applicants will wait one month between applications regardless of acceptance or denial.

Rules for Posting on Apps

The intent of allowing all members of the community to comment with +1s and -1s on staff apps has been to take into consideration the thoughts of everyone in the community. However we've been finding that many people aren't really adding to the conversation. We don't just think it's important to know if you support someone's application, but why you do. We would like to heavily encourage you to include both positive and negative experiences with the applicant so we can get a full picture.

As such comments in staff apps will now be required to contribute something meaningful, and not just be "+1" or "+1 because they are cool".

Comments not adhering to this will be removed.

Additionally we've noticed a number of people afraid of backlash from posting negative experiences. Please remember you can message any of the admins or mods you feel comfortable with separate from the posts here and your opinion will still be taken into consideration.

Demotion

Minor
Minor issues will typically result in a warning and admins keeping track of the issue.
- Habitually rule breaking
- Misleading new players
- Shitposting forums or discord
- Going afk for significant time periods and/or continuous afk
- Misuse use of powers

Moderate
Moderate issues will result in at minimum a staff strike and overview from the admins. A member who has a recent moderate breach may not be eligible for promotion. Admins may also discuss a rank demotion if the staff member repeats offenses.
- Minor issues that continue after warning(s) and/or arguing the issues
- Receiving a legitimate ban
- Actively trolling or flaming situations instead of solving them as a staff member.
- Indirect racism or use of terms
- Abuse of powers

Major
Major issues will result in admins discussing a rank or full demotion. The member is not eligible for promotion.
- Moderate issues that continue after warning(s) and/or arguing the issues
- Directed Racism and/or Harassment towards specific staff or players
- Serious abuse of power such as mass kicking or banning of players or other abuse that would result in instant demotion
- Receiving a legitimate permanent ban
- Refusal to staff/neglect of duty. This does not include inactivity or AFKing on server; this clause is for staff members who actively try to break rules or refuse to act as a staff member.
- Leaking staff chat
