You need at least 20 post's to apply for admin. Other than that your App looks pretty good.

[Voqnum]

I can get 20 posts by tonight (will not be spam). Does that make my application still okay?

[Yahtzee]

No. You need to have at least 20 posts before you can apply for admin.

[Voqnum]

So pretty much I should just delete my post and start over? Kinda lame don't you think?

[Voqnum]

No. You need to have at least 20 posts before you can apply for admin.

Yal' are missing out on a good candidate.

[Voqnum]

Anyway.. I am going to pull this thread and re-post after I meet the min. requirement of posts.

[Yahtzee]

A "Good" candidate would have 20 posts before he applied.

Whenever people go ahead and just make admin applications it gets a bit awkward but that is the way we do things.  In CG we have additional requirements for admins that act as a filter for shitty and good admins.  I have seen you on the server a lot so I don't question your activity but I am not sure if you are familiar with the community or if they are familiar with you.  Get to know the community a bit more and wait a few days.  We are looking for outgoing members to become admins not admins to become members.  If that makes any sense.  I have seen too many people who just hop on a community, get admin and then abuse or don't care at all and end up leaving a week later.  These requirements not only ensure quality but also that the turnover rate stays at a non irritating level.

Also tf2 admin is universal, meaning that if you apply for admin you automatically get admin on all current and FUTURE tf2 servers as long as your administration is still valid. 

I don't think you have to go as far as to delete your post but at least give it a few days.  Maybe visit the other servers, hop in our vent server, be active on the forums, maybe even visit the other servers we have. 


It is nothing personal

I would recommend you make an introduction thread on the forums as you will get much more friendly feedback.

Well it is easy to pick out the friends and foes of this community already.

We are looking for outgoing members to become admins not admins to become members.

Well said!

EDIT: Voqnum, you shouldn't start necromancing threads to get your posts up.

[Wholegrain]

No. You need to have at least 20 posts before you can apply for admin.

I don't doubt that we are missing out on a good candidate, however we are unfamiliar with you and have yet to know you enough to feel comfortable with giving you admin just yet.

I appreciate your friendly response, if only other members of your community could be more warming to new members of your forums, it would make this place even better.

I will be sure to drop by, thank you so much for your invite and of course your KIND and FRIENDLY response.

Yahtzee sometimes can put things a bit too bluntly.  This is nothing negative but understand we have to deal with this every day or so, someone applying for admin without looking at the requirements.

That statement just proves that you need to hang around more because Yahtzee although can seem a bit dry at times on the forums (maybe even I seem a bit dry aye?) but he is a very sweet person who many of the admins and other leaders enjoy to be around and work with.
