We have been relying heavily on whitelist lately because of all the updates and because it helps us have a more structured community by having them sign up to the forums. However by doing this we are limiting the amount of players we get through our doors... every day I see players try and join the server and get refused, we are in top 1-5 of various Minecraft Searches, so why not use that power to get more players here.
So why not just take whitelist off and try and get them to sign up to the forums? Well it’s the amount of people with authority we have on the server; we still have various time zones in which no member of staff is on!
We have of course various protections in place but I like for new players to be shown around and explained everything when they join. Of course this can be done my regular members if no member of staff is on but this doesn’t always happen!Last time I recruited my Community Support Officers the other Month; I went to them individually… however this time there’s too many people I’d like to choose! So I would like to give everyone a fair chance here in the forums to have their say. Also this way it helps me see who’s really interested.
Here's a little information about what a Community Support Officer job entails:
1. Greet new players
If you love to meet new people, you are proud to show them around this great server, help them find resources, give building ideas, or just chat them up for company then you already have the most important skills.
2. Reinforce Server Rules
Are you familiar with the server rules posted in Spawn Tower? Do you encourage players to read or re-read them when they don't seem to know/remember how to behave? Would you feel comfortable muting players who can't seem to control what their fingers type in public chat? Can you handle the pressure of putting someone in jail when they get caught breaking the rules? Are you willing to investigate the reason behind the behavior and give them a second chance? Do you set a good example for others by just being you?
3. Report bannable offences to Mods/Admins
Occassionally there are times on the server when all the Mods/Admins are offline for a moment. As a CSO, it is important to document griefing by taking screenshots of the damage or the playerlist of people online at the time. Do you mind taking a little personal time to contain/clean up griefed areas? Do you feel comfortable posting in the forums, something along the lines of " I saw so-and-so do such-and-such today and here are some screenshots of the damage."
4. Enjoy knowing that you are part of the reason YAMS is the best place to spend your Minecraft time!
Think about what you like most about YAMS and how to keep it being a place you visit to get a good dose of community spirit. We have such diversity here with people from many ages, interests, and countries. We might each have differences but the best thing about all of us is that we have so much in common. We just have to get to know each other to find out what those common interests are and to introduce new ideas to share. That's what community is about, so if you would like to support the YAMS community, apply to be a trainee CSO.
5. Understand that from time to time you job role may change and you may be asked to help out on other things that are totally unrelated to what you normally do but that give a benefit towards the community. You may also get the opportunity to be in charge of a public building or specific Job to be decided by our Community Support Officer Manager Tyler.
To apply, you must be registered on the forums in order to reply to this post. Please give a brief summary of why you think you would be right for the job. Take a moment to look back over previous applications if you need ideas of what to say but be original. We want to know which assets you will bring to the staff team.
Good Luck!
Closing Date: 1 week from date/time of post.
