Guides and Tips on getting promoted to SA-A/SA

Crimson · January 22, 2010

Most of these tips are straight forward, but they will help you more then anything.

1. Your playing time in the servers and love of the game.

2. Your maturity and ability to make the correct decisions in the servers.

3. Your forum activity - The forums are the front page of this community and many of the Advisor spend hours on the forums and sometimes it's easier to get noticed on the forums.

4. Age - Age has nothing to do with your promotion all about your activity and maturity.

6. Donations do not guarantee a promotion, but they do get you noticed. People who get in the top 20 list, will get extra bar under their name .

7. Always take advice from [sG]'s, they've been admin much longer then you have and know the ropes.

And finally; Never ask for a promotion, this just shows that you're impatient and will slower your app process. Also never complain in the chatbox or servers that you didn't get promoted.

Some Guidelines before applying:

You have no idea how many people I've had to reapplied due to them not meeting the min Requirements.

Before even considering applying for admin, please read this :

In order to apply for the admin you must be a forum member for (60) days.

After your 60 days, don't apply with Zero posts. We don't know who the hell you are and will most likely get reapplied at our Sunday meeting, so don't even waste your time.

If you're still confused after reading this, feel free to Private Message myself or one of our Community Advisor (Or one of those Lazy LG's.

I've seen numerous threads on this, and it's cluttering up the forums a bit.

How to Apply for Admin!

According to Haggard, these are the guidelines for admin:

Getting Admin and the new Apprentice Program

In order to apply for the admin you must be a forum member for (60) days. Once you have submitted your application it will be reviewed by our Community Advisers. They will have full say over who gets accepted into the "Admin Apprentice Program." The Community Advisers (CA's) will vote on who gets accepted into the program. Not all applicants will be accepted on their first try. Once accepted into the program these admin will be give limited admin powers and will be monitored by the CA's. Once a week the CA group will take a vote on who gets promoted from the program and given full admin access. Once you have full admin you have it for life, unless you break the admin rules and receive (3) strikes. If an applicant during his apprenticeship shows sings of being unfit for admin the CA's can deny the application and remove limited admin.

The Gist:

-Be a member of the forums for 60 days

-Fill out the Admin Application

-Wait and see if you get in

-If you are accepted, you will become an apprentice. You have limited powers and will be monitored, but the CAs will be promoting apprentices to Full Admins, if they see they're fit for the job.

Cool! There's the procedure to apply for admin! But wait, how do you apply, you ask?

Simple! Just fill out This form! Yes, THIS Form!

Oh, you need help filling out the form? No problem! Just read the next paragraph!

So here's the admin application! Oooh, ahh. And remember, you can find this app HERE!

Let's start from the top. It says Being part of SG, we ask you to join our >>> Ventrilo >> here

Alright, let's get started with the actual app. I've listed each part from 1-6, and I'll go through the app accordingly.

Your In-Game Name- This is the name that you use when you play in our servers!
STEAMID: The STEAMID is listed in this format:
STEAM_X:X:XXXXXXXX, where instead of X's, it has your number. To find your STEAMID, join a server, open the console (~ or ` key), and type "status". All the names and STEAMIDs of the people in the server will show up. Find your name, and your STEAMID will be listed beside it.
You are at least 16 years of age: This is mostly used to determine whether you will be a mature and responsible admin, although there are many cases where people under the age of 16 are mature enough.
You agree to the admin rules: The full list of the SG admin rules can be found HERE. If you want to become an admin, you absolutely NEED to read these over constantly and abide by them at all times.
Why should you be accepted into our Apprentice Program?: This is the place to dazzle our staff, where you can put anything that makes you seem like a good candidate for a spot in our Apprentice Program. Show your worthiness here! Also, check your spelling and grammar, because they look at that. ;)
Would you like to participate in Admin Training?: This one is not a requirement, but is a very good idea if you would like to familiarize yourself with all of the admin commands.
The training program was started in May 2009, and it is aimed by helping the admins/apprentices with their admin commands. The official thread can be found Here. Any apprentice admin/administrator may attend these sessions. All session dates are listed in the Community Calendar.

When you're done all of these fields, click the 'Submit' button, and you're done! The CAs (Community Advisers) will meet every 2 weeks, and decide which applicants will be accepted, and which apprentices will be promoted to full admin. When they are finished, they will post a thread saying who has been accepted/promoted.
