Admin applications

[XTR3M3]

All admin requests must be done through this link from now on.
http://www.spawnpoint.com/RequestAdmin.php
This apply for admin link can be found on the "servers" page, just above the FAQs. We will no longer be accepting them through the email.
*NEW* You can check the status of pending admin applications by clicking the link above while being logged in to the forums. Emails are sent out to applications that are approved, while we don't have denial emails set up yet.

The "requirement" for 25 forum posts to qualify for admin has been misunderstood. Posting "crap" or spamming the forums just to get over this mark actually hurts your chance at getting admin. The "requirement" was set up to get people active and involved in our community. <-----THIS is the requirement for admin that was implied. The forums need to be visited, especially if you receive admin. There might be a complaint about YOU that needs a response. 25 GOOD posts people, bad ones count against you. (and don't try to get them all in one day either....this would be spamming)

There is now a "site traffic" requirement for keeping your admin. You are required to log in to the forums periodically to check the report an incident forum and to contribute to the forums in a positive way. This, so far, is the only "cost" of admin....other than following the rules and policies of Spawnpoint of course.

ya that sounds fare

Yep I kinda figured that from the get go as well and it'll still take 30 days before you can use that so even if you do want admin posting 25 in a few days won't matter you'll still have to wait. So take your time, post in topics you feel you know or are actually contributing to and try to get to know the Spawnpoint user base. Atleast thats what I've been trying to do.

Good Luck all

I understand Xtreme. I applied for admin at least a week ago. Bullet told me that there something wrong with the admin application process? I don't know but he'll say he'll come across the requests soon. But I understand about staying active in the forums and community.

Ive been playing on Spawnpoint for about 8 months now....I wish I signed up for the forum that day....I would not be a ultranoob at this point lol. And because I just got a third job, i missed out on playing some CS and my stat got reset...i was spot number 8....out of 2000... got it to about 80 over night.

[LuciferDMD]

so what exactly would you do as admin?

[Cok0nuts]

You enforce the server rules. Like no mic spamming, hacking, Rrated sprays and plenty more Im sure.

[XTR3M3]

read the FAQ on the "servers" page about admin for dummies and read the others that have our rules and other questions answered.

i believe that is an excellant idea and i would think that the time limit would be longer but whatever. I have been playing on the west coast server for a while and i am rated at around #20 and i am loving it.

aww i shoulda signed up for forum liek 2 months ago when i started playing on spawnpoint server. I am rank about 14 out of 2100 people, but many hackers come through. It gets annoying and its really rare an admin of that server actually logs on. the server is SPAWNPOINT.COM | Dust2 24/7 Pub | DWP-OFF, but its really fun when its all fair. Im going to try to get admin on that server to ban those god damn hackers but gota wait like 20 more days >.<

I was playing on teh server i always played on and an admin came in, i started talking to him and he said he got all the requirements and he applied and it took around a year for them to finally make him admin. So yea it might take a while or maybe they gona change it duno

[fer-sher]

I think some of the main things are:
start acting like admin... be conscientious of the rules and remind others if they are breaking them, with respect.
get demos! no more crying "hacker!" but rather go spec and get a good demo. I am betting that giving to the community in this way will do a lot toward gaining admin status.

I, for one, and still waiting. :-)
