| We're not looking for any kind of fancy, 30 question and answer, long application that most server applications ask for. Just tell us these things in some way or another:
How do you think you can help onstage. How often you think you can help. How old you are. If there are any special in-game skills you have. What are your contact details. E.G. Skype, Steam, Facebook (Link to your profile if it is Facebook or something similar) And I would also like to know a bit more about yourself.
Please, do not do the following (Example from our Administrative roles application forum):
What position you are applying for: ******* Coowner! How you think you can help. I can help by being a badass owner. Why you want to help. Cuz I can helpz ban does asses that trie to ruin our servar. How much time can you dedicate to the server. All my time, I will put 100% into this server and play it every day. And of course tell us a little about yourself. ---
The problems with this example:
A - Overall it was just boring to read. Please do NOT do it like a question and answer application - Put it in your own words!
B - It involves profanity (Swearing) - Please refrain from such. Kids play Minecraft.
C - While we ask people to take risks, have fun etc. We think it would be better to apply for a moderator role - And then work your way up the roster.
D - Boasting, or otherwise saying "I'm a badass" or "I'm awesome" and anything else like that, will get you nowhere, we need actual info - Not your self opinion.
E - If you use terrible spelling; grammar, and/or otherwise illegible (Unable to read) in an actual job application - Would they even think about hiring you? E.1 - Although, this doesn't mean that if you have some type of disability like dyslexia, or some other writing impediment, we're going to penalize you - It's actually quite the opposite, just put that you have it somewhere in your application. Or if your not confident in someway / Not feeling up to it - Simply send me a private message.
F - It is impossible to spend 100% percent of your time to the server, I doubt it's going to be the ONLY thing you do in your spare time - Be honest.
G - Not telling us something - Try to steer away from missing any part of the information out, while this does not mean we're going to decline it straight away - It would be nice if we could judge in one read. G.1 - This doesn't mean we will accept you straight away either, we may want to ask you more questions either via the Messaging system or here on the application. | |
