Web Helper applications.

[remio]

So, some time ago @Sophie made this thread: https://www.cubecraft.net/threads/nobody-likes-a-helper-wannabe-x.197352/
Since she's becoming inactive ( :( ), I would like to resuggest her idea again.

In my opinion, the amount of unqualified helper applications could be decreased. Every day, there are at least 2 players who applied for the staff rank and joined at the same day as they applied. They don't meet the minimum requirements to become staff. (For example 200 messages, 3 months of forums activity, etc.)
So, what's the idea to decrease the unqualified applications? If you don't have 200 messages and your forums account isn't at least 4 months old, you wouldn't be able to see the document called "Helper Applications [OPENED]". If the players can't see the thread with the applications link before they met the minimum requirements, the staff team would get a lot less unqualified helper applications in their inbox! And that would save time, so that they can be busy with other things in life, or on the server.


Another suggestion to decrease the amount of unqualified suggestions, suggested by @ChaosConjurer: We could add an encrypted spoiler which contains the link of the application you can only read if you meet the minimum requirements. The amount of reports you have wouldn't apply to this spoiler, since I don't think it's possible to link your forums account to your reports account.

So, are you with me?
Remi

I think it can be a good idea, so the staff members, especially the ones that run the applications, will not receive so many Applications, what do you think @Tacosbefriends?

 

[MasterNicco]

This would really save a lot of time for staff

 

[remio]

Updated the thread! I've added another option! By the way, @CatsLoveRainbows do you want to explain why you voted no?

 

[CatsLoveRainbows]

Well.......... no. Im sorry, but.....

I want to know how to become a helper. What is needed, what is required. WHERE does it say "200 msgs, 100 player reports, and 3 months of forum activity"?? On the "Helper Applications [OPENED]" thread! You see, if you "locked" that thread to more than half the community, then they wouldn't know what the requirements, the things the staff team are looking for, etc.It would be nice for the CubeVeterans like you, @RemiO05 because you guys know what the requirements are by heart. But many people join the cubecraft forums daily, and some of them may would want to become a helper.

BUT.......... Im fine putting the link on a seperate thread so the new people on the forums/people like me can access the "Helper Applications [OPENED]" thread.

Just think about it...

Make a different thread with the requirements. Fixed the problem.

 

[CommunistCactus]

@ItsDavey_ care to explain your vote or did you click that button on accident?

 

[FireExcalibur10]

Yeah I totally agreee with you Remii! :P That's an awesome idea and I think it should be implemented soon, what do you think @Tacosbefriends @StorySays ?

 

[ItsDavey_]

@ItsDavey_ care to explain your vote or did you click that button on accident?

Since he added the second part, what chaos suggested, I’d Agree. But I can not change my vote, I had the same thoughts about the things she said.

 

[Priley]

I voted no, because I think people who are willing to apply should be able to read the thread, but in some way, the application link shouldn't be visible for them (which is a different idea than yours)

 

[matcha]

Agreed, if people apply without reading the requirements (or some of those threads that tell us a bit about the role itself) then they'll likely be rejected. This would save a lot more time.

 

[Snodia]

What would be your solution for the players that ask staff for a link to the Staff Applications section and they then get upset when they can't see the threads because of the restrictions? Your answer cannot include "make another thread with the requirements" as I feel that a thread like that would defeat the purpose of having the players read through the existing threads.

This is the answer. ^^ (Read the thread again, I've added something)

Then this would be a great option, because the players would still be able to see the thread, but they wouldn't be able to see the link of the document due to an encrypted spoiler.

You never said what the spoiler would hide

if they get upset then they shouldn't ever be allowed to view the threads, you're hardly gonna want a kid who gets upset when they can't apply for staff on your team

the amount of unqualified helper applications could be decreased

how would you know how many unqualified helper applications there are?

"encrypted spoiler"
think that might be a bit too advanced for a block game forum

There are plenty of members who joined the forums at the day that they posted a status which says "I've applied for the HELPER rank! I'm so excited!", or something.
Please don't scroll through my old pages I've done that too, don't blame me :v

It takes the staff 10 seconds to search a name on the forums and find they aren't qualified. it's not that big a problem that they need to spend time faffing about with the application forum so that certain people can't access it and the works

If they get 600 applications every single cycle, and 560 of then are unqualified, that would take too much time. Each unqualified application is one too much.
