Author Topic: What ever happened to working for admin?  (Read 1890 times)

you shouldnt have to work for it either. you are either already a trusted friend of the server owner. or you arent.

any server that gives it away for anything is complete stuff and i wouldnt visit there.

But you still need to become friends with the owner and be buddy enough to get admin, that is still more than posting a sentence about how awesome you are.

any application system or game that gives away admin means you are not becoming friends of the owner.
i dont understand the power trip of being admin on someone elses server.

I don't do that dumb admin application stuff on my server. All of my admins have earned it by building, and enforcing rules for me. I would never give someone I barely know admin because they fill out a nice application.


For me at some point I crossed some magical threshold where my ID was considered "really old" and some admins will instantly admin me when I join or build something better than a boxy "huose" thing.  Honestly it's more annoying than anything because I feel like I am obligated to stay in the server and help out the host.


I admin people I know and trust. I also admin people when I have to go afk and have no admins. I usually try to pick someone who isn't handicapped.

what is earning admin? being an annoying backseat moderator?

it worked for me, heed
on multiple servers


i don't need applications, forget that, i just admin somebody i know and trust that i need to help me

I admin my friends, and the only people who I would give admin too would be if they needed it to load or if they were becoming cool.
Although I strain having so many admins, I keep it low.

We shoot down 95% of applications on the boss battles server without even needing to double check the references. People say something stupid or fail to say something intelligent. Sometimes the applications are poorly written, other times we just don't like the person in question. It's mostly to get a feel for their ability and willingness to contribute to the server.
And that is why Pecon's server is not flooded with idiotic admins.

I have never seen a server with Admin apps, but I always have people coming into my server and the first thing they say is "Can I have Super Admin".  That's when i ban them.  Or i go into a server full of Super Admins and the Host just randomly gives me Super Admin, i then demote myself and leave.

I only have like, 3 admins, of which I know one in real life and one is myself.

I only admin people who I can call my friends.
Well, online friends.
All my admins I play other games with and talk to regularly.
Also, they had played my server for a long time, they had been regulars for at least a month.

You don't really earn admin on my server, so to speak, because that sounds like it's something to strive toward you are just deserving of my trust as a good person.

Hell, Quantum Eagle, one of my admins, isn't too great of a builder but still has his place on my server.
