Something I seem to have noticed.

Iunno whether you guys from other servers get this, but we on the ZM server have had so many people play the server for the first or second time, and ask us about admin immediately and whether they should aapply for it. Not only do they then ignore us saying; "play on the server more often, get to know everyone, join the forums and increase post count, etc" but they then are surprised when everyone rejects them and they just disappear... never to be seen again.

Other accounts of people necro-ing to get post count up. Im not sure whether these people are just trying to get admin to f up the server or whether they are just plain retarded or something.

Just something up for discussion on admin applications etc, whats the verdict from you guys on other servers?

It can sometimes be the same on TTT. I've had people ask me multiple times if they can pay to have admin. Maybe we could change the MOTD to mention how to become admin somehow, but sometimes its just plain ignorance, because its not like people cant read on the forums how to become an admin.

If they can't come to the forums and read they shouldn't be admin.

It would be a dangling carrot, something to entice people to come to the forums

I like it, lure them in with false hope and then one or two might stick around on the forums... I see what you're doing there Crow

Not everyone will like forums at first or the idea of HAVING to post on them. I didn't have to when I first became admin, but a month into being a trial I finally started regularly posting and now I'm pretty sure I'm addicted; six months later I was head admin. Not everyone's good material, some people are shit socially and wouldn't represent us right, so we just tell them we're full on admins for now; feel free to play and help out till we need some!

If you have a post requirement though, expect people who want admin and are completely illiterate to spam the forums until they can apply. Some make it, some don't like us and leave. We're not exactly the nicest people when it comes to handling necros and whatnot.

I'm one of the cool cats who join the forum for the community and then later on decided to apply for admin.

Maybe a little console message could flash across every once in awhile saying "Our admins are accepted via application on our forums @ ConjointGaming.com. If you wish to apply, be sure you have met our qualifications!"

Something like that, idk. My two cents

Same? What we really need to do is recruit admin for servers that are lacking such as Saxton Hale.

Yup, many many people coming across like that. We had Gary Oak not a few months back who came onto the server, joined the forums and applied for admin instantly, got rejected and then spammed the forums needlessly til 20 posts at which point Arbys just out and out told him he will never get admin, last we saw of him!
Then you get people like Shadow? Think his name was shadow or Shooter or something, who came on spammed and spammed the discussions to try get 20 posts to apply, I agree that we don't reply nicely to that but people who cant follow rules don't deserve nice treatment!

Stuff em, atm we don't need admins on the zm so we say the same thing everytime 'get to know the community on forums, play regularly, and we'll let you know when a spot opens up...' Most people don't seem to understand what I find is such simple instructions, but some thankfully do

[caboose74]

they should do like me waiting for a open to be open before apply and get denied because i dont follow the rules ...
