(Note: this form may change but your application won't be nulled if you have done it before any changes)

I see you are trying to apply to join the force! Being part of the Mapperdonian force will give you plenty of priveleges and benefits (such as possibly being admin/moderator around other parts in the community), however with powers given to you, comes responsibilities. You must note that we prefer merit rather than popularity, so being popular won't really help you get in (no matter how much support you have), this is to ensure more competence in the system we upheld. Repeatedly asking for being part of the staff will less likely get you accepted, humbleness is a respected value, not powerhunger.

Requirements to apply (you can still apply whether or not you have these things, but it's less likely you will be accepted) and TO POSSIBLY BE accepted:
 * You must have contributed with the community (and the wiki) for at least 6 months


 * You must be a mapper (since this is a community of mappers and should be maintained by one, although special cases may apply during possible emergencies)


 * You did not commit any crimes or have abused power in the recent past (we keep records) (Exceptions may apply)


 * (Possible but not required) You have experience


 * (Possible but not required) have helped staffmembers in the past and help assist in dealing with problems


 * (Possible but not required) somewhat good reputation.


 * (Possible but not required) have acceptable human qualities such as Humbleness, (somewhat) Kindness, Self-Disciplined, helpful, dutiful, appreciative, problem-solving, etc.

FORM YOU MUST FILL OUT TO APPLY:
 * Name:


 * Position:


 * Skype:


 * Date joined community/Mapping:


 * Date joined wiki:


 * Experience:


 * Describe yourself and what you will do in the community (don't forget to describe the community):


 * Have you misbehaved in the past?


 * Time available/active:

EXAMPLE OF FORM:


 * Name: Batran


 * Position: "Da Suprem Readuh lel"


 * Skype: Insert Skype here


 * Date joined community/Mapping: July 2012


 * Date joined wiki: October 2012


 * Experience: I am the founder and current leader/figurehead of the community and have been the only admin for over a year until Jan 2014. I am also admin in other parts of the community such as Nationstates, several major chats in skype, and even Minecraft. I am also an "temporary admin for hire" outside the community too. I also have leadership experience outside of the community, as I have led small (and sometimes few large) groups in various school projects. My friends had came to know me as "the mother that usually knows what to do", despite me being a guy, but I don't mind it. I am also somewhat of a logistics expert. I study Sociology, Psychology, History, Chemistry, and Political Science


 * Describe yourself and what you will do in the community (don't forget to describe the community): I am known to be quite skeptical when dealing with situations in the past, much to the displeasure of both sides. However, I usually come up with solutions and work-arounds with problems, even going as far as making up a system (logistics expert) and comprimises as a work around. I try to be as benevolent as I can while holding the community together, although actions of a few had sometimes anger me, I usually forgive them in the end as I am empathetic and understanding of their situation, which brings me an advantage to the table as I can analyse a person based off of a few actions (which tends to be pretty accurate) to be able to understand and to diagnose them (people say i should be a therapist). While I can describe more of myself, this isn't an actual form and is just an example, so don't want to reveal my deepest darkest secrets (if I have any, as I like to SOMETIMES have a transparent policy). So what will I do for the community? While I am here, I plan to help expand the community and take care of it during it's infancy to try my best to make sure it goes on a right and decent path.I must provide an example for my peers as somewhat of a role model.


 * Have you misbehaved in the past? Yes and No, depending on opinion. Although I did several things that is immature of myself in the past, and REAL misbehavior I had did would probably be MONTHS to even YEARS ago. I must provide an example


 * Time usually available/active: (Weekends) 11:30 AM to 11 PM EST, (Weekdays) 4:30 or 5 PM to 10ish PM EST

Regarding Applications for staff on the blog: Position Order: User > Chatmod (wiki and lower discord staff chat permissions, may be expanded to lower mod position on discord) > Discussions mod (threads on wiki, may be expanded to upper mod position on discord) > Content Mod (page perms similar to admin, may get high mod position on dis) > Admin (greater authority to ban users)  > Bureaucrat (appointed only, must be an excelled veteran admin. Pretty much vice-owners) > Owner

Possible future updates:

>Rollback ('marked' users who have previously held trainee mod position on discord, you can interpret it as a medal but it they have more edit abilities and other perks)

>Penalty for inactivity: inactive staff who has been inactive in every way for a certain amount of time would be demoted by 1 position. This will continue until they are at the lowest staff position. Only exception are Bureaucrats/vice-owners.>Rollback ('marked' users who have previously held trainee mod position on discord, you can interpret it as a medal but it they have more edit abilities and other perks)

>Split mods positions: Upper and Lower Mod positions may be established to cover Content/Discussion mod and Chatmod positions on the wiki respectively. But this also took inspiration from the system old server where there are two positions mods could take based on activity.
