We've decided to implement a tiered system of ranks within the server to help new members progress and take on more responsibilities. The ranks will be: Newbie, Junior, Senior, Lead, and Admin. Each rank has a set of requirements that must be met in order to progress to the next one.
Newbie is the starting point for all new members. To become a Newbie, you simply need to join the server and agree to our rules. There are no additional requirements beyond this. Once you've been a Newbie for a week, you'll automatically be promoted to Junior.
To become a Junior, you need to participate in at least two server events per week and complete one tutorial. The tutorials will cover things like basic game mechanics, how to communicate with other players, and how to report any issues or abuse. The events are optional but recommended - they're a great way to meet other players and get involved in the community.
As for promotions, we've decided to use a simple system. You'll be promoted automatically after meeting the requirements for the next rank, and you'll receive a message from a moderator confirming your new rank. There's no appeal process - you either meet the requirements, or you don't. This way, we can keep the ranks simple and easy to manage, while still providing a clear path for new members to progress.
In terms of Lead and Admin roles, we'll be using a more nuanced system. These ranks will require more specific skills and experience, and will be determined through a combination of application and review by the moderators. We'll post more information on this system in the coming weeks as we finalize the details.
