    i would like to become a mod once i have player for 3 months or something like that, but i don't i would have the time once i go back to school. i usually come back hoe at 5, then have an 1/1.5 of homework(plus now revision for my upcoming 11 end-of-year tests) which would make the 3-4 hours unrealistic, unless that's only referring to weekends

    Congratulations on having this thread open for one year Pbrassat! ;)

    It certainly helped me make my decision on whether I should apply for staff.

    Revan, do you mind if I ask, how long have you been staff? I don't think I remember a time where you WEREN'T red.

    Once my situation at home improves drastically, and I achieve president, I think I'll apply for staff, I've wanted to do it for a long time ever since I became a resident.

    I've been staff since February 21st 2013. So about a year and 3 months. I've been red since March 2013.

    We've had staff members who were banned prior to getting staff.

    I believe a perma banned user was once staff. So if you changed alot then of course you could be staff.

    I strongly agree with this post. I can only say thanks to the poster for this tuto, however i think that revanrose6's comment is one of the main requirements. In fact being part of the staff is something hard, you should ask yourself if you really enjoy giving "all" your time in-game to other users because you must enjoy helping, solving problems, being interrupted to inform, etc. If you have this plus knowledge of the rules plus enough free time and some interpersonal skills such as patience you'll be able to be a great moderator.

    Gretings!

    "Having to be on the staff team here really does not give you much power only power to lay the law down. Nor do I care about getting fame. Because every judge me I would not become famous in the first place. All I would want to do is help out the server you know? Not use my powers for evil and take over the server." I done a bunch of nice things for people and all of this stuff had value like someone had a unlocked chest with Nstars I could have tooken them but I told the owner. And that eff7 story all of you know about that one. And telling someone that their town was being grifed. And yet people say I am not nice? Look at all the hard work I did. I even gave people low amounts of money for nothing. Oh and some time free tps look at all the hard work I put into the server. I am not crying about this. I am just telling all of you how nice I treat people. The only reason why I be mean is because some people are mean to me first. Just because I spell one word wrong people go ahead and freak out like wtf? I am not to blame you are. I am really a nice guy I just like showing points and logic. Oh and as well fighting for myself. But who are we kidding @xxdawsonisepicxx people are jerks. And I am not talking about a staff app here I am talking about in game. You see fokes I do not mind once so ever wasting my time making these story's of mine. Wanna know why? I will tell ya: because I am open minded,I got ways to make time work for me. I put My mom& my self first I even have ECC second because thats how much I love this server. I even put it before the best sport in the world PRO WRESTlING Its the 3rd thing in my life that matters. I wish we had more people that liked watching it. This is my life story. So yeah I don't care about having power or fame as mod. I just want to help people and defend others when needed. Ecc is my video gaming home. But our bully pop. is dropping that is the sign that this server will change in to a more healthy and rich server. And my ignore list just keeps getting bigger. @lolelf123 this story may just apply to you to. No one can understand me you or xxdaw. And watch as some troll marks this "creative" in an insaluting way. Now that I think of it I should of put this in my "leaving Ecc story" If I was leaving but oh well it is here now.

    Hilv, I think this is getting off topic. This thread was designed to be a tutorial on how to know if you are right for staff and has been such for the past year. There is no need to defend yourself here as it is a place for players to simply read and occasionally staff to toss in their opinion of what it means to be ready for staff.

    Umm, that's not true. There are great mods under 17. Being a good moderator is not question of ages (Well maybe not common 12-year-old that are always arguing xD)

    I was 12 when I got staff and like to think I do a good job. Age doesn't matter.

    I'm 16 - it just matters how old you act, not how old you are.

    I've noticed that for the most part if you're 30+ you get staff automatically no matter how you act
