Hey! It's RebelKnox, the owner of MC-Central! I am here today to introduce our server and acquire staff/workers. Now this is not my/our first "attempt" at creating servers. If you're looking for staff just to get a prefix on your name and then leave a week in, this isn't the place for you.. sorry. Also, if you are a slacker, and don't like to get things done on a specific due date or "in-time," this also.. is not the place for you. sorry.. again. If you are a 5 star effort and uplifting attitude opponent, you are most certainly welcome!



Here are some tips to applying made directly from the head administration team for MC-Central who got accepted, using these same tips.


1. Talk in complete sentences with proper punctuation, spelling, and grammar. Be professional to impress!



2. Never insult, only give constructive criticism as to an owner will feed off of the information.



3. Have some sense of humor; it is key to be loose but a jokester is not going to be of much help to a server, which is why they aren't usually hired.



4. No bragging. If an owner hears "I am admin on like 200 servers," he thinks this; "Well why does he need it on this server? He won't have time for this server!" Only talk about the server you are applying for.



5. Respect. Owners and Administrators love respect, but treating him/her like a king/queen will make him/her awkward and out of place.



6. Friends. Be sure to have referrals/vouches from others, and be friends with the staff and owner first as to they will really know you better.(NOT required, since most of you do not have any complications/relations with the MC-Central Team.)



7. Benefits. Tell the owner, (or who is hiring,) what times you will be on most, and what you will truly do for the server.(i.e. Say what you will do to help the server in the best way possible.)



*8. A good reputation. (KEY POINT) Since Minecraft uses unique processed usernames, that means only ONE person in the entire world using Minecraft can have that one unique name. So therefore, your player isn't hard to find online by simply googling your username. If you have an insufficient reputation, try cleaning yourself up before applying.



9. Clean. This implies an attitude you would talk to your Grandma in. You do not want to have a childish impression. So take care in your application and don't swear/cuss, and don't mention any sexual references.



10. Be ready and have confidence. Being prepared for an interview is key to being taken seriously. This step is key. If you are very lame about getting accepted, you will only make it worse for YOU. You will do fine


Description explaining the process:

I know how it is.. Unexperienced server owners will post "need staff" on Planet Minecraft. They will op them on their server and expect them to.. well, be "staff." They end up shutting their server down because 1. Unexperienced 2. They usually only pay for one month hosting on PayPal and don't renew 3. Their so called "staff" grief and "mess-up"/obliterate the server. Here at MC-Central.. We don't do that. But more, we really don't NEED that.


Now that I have stated WHO can apply, please listen closely!



One whom attempts to apply for MC-Central© must act the following:

----------------------------------------------------------


- Have a good reputation here on MCM, or at least proof of ability.

- Have in-game experience on Minecraft servers. (No, I do not mean experience on Hypixel or Mineplex, I mean server management.

- Have a mature attitude towards the players and other qualifiers of the MC-Central Team.

- Be of an appropriate age. (All ages qualify, but we recommend being over the age of 14. Age does NOT affect your application, it only affects your matureness)

- Be an appropriate citizen/member of the MC-Central Team. (In simple words, don't do anything stupid.)

- Has a good reputation on other servers/communities and can adapt to the server and other team members appropriately.

- Ability to work "well" with other and different people. (Everyone has their own opinion, but if one starts building something first that you despise, you must be able to either live with it, or add on your own creative ideas to make both of you happy.)

- Have an appropriate, mature, happy, and helpful attitude towards players of MC-Central. (By appropriate I mean don't joke about sexual topics or in basic terms "uncommon topics to discuss with people." By mature I mean do not be a "grinch" who abuses their powers in game and uses them against server members. By happy I mean do not log on and say to people "Idk what to do now I am so bored" If I have people acting in such a way on MC-Central, players will seem like the staff team for MC-Central is not fun at all, and we want players to adjust to the staff and get close to them as friends so they don't hesitate to ask for help. By helpful I mean act in a sufficient way where players can get the most information out of you as possible. We don't want you to say to a player, "I will ask the owner when he gets on." OR "Idk how to help you, I'm sorry!" No matter how nice and mature you say it, that player gets no information/help, and is stuck until I come on, which sometimes won't be for a while! In the meantime that player will give up, and leave the server since no one will give proper help. That is called a decline in the player base. a player base is the center of your server besides staff, and server management.)

----------------------------------------------------------

Must AGREE to the following upon qualification:



* - **** (1-5 Level of importance)

**No Advertising, unless approved- You may advertise your YouTube video, Twitch stream, Image, ect. as long as it contains content related to MC-Central. Any content shared containing content related to another server will result in a permanent ban from the server.(not the website)


**Religious/ Racial Disputes- This also includes any other arguments/ disputes in chat that staff members deem worthy of punishment.


*****NO DDOS Threats- Threats are only punishable if witnessed by a staff member, due to the amount of fake evidence.


***No tolerance for an "Offensive Username or Nickname"- Having a username or nickname directly offensive to another user or staff member is not tolerated. You will be banned from the server AND website for 30 days, and can be unbanned if you change the username/nickname, and can be instantly unbanned after it's changed via an appeal.


****Chargeback/ Store Glitching- Not tolerated AT ALL, and results in permanent ban form the website, revoked of any donor rank in-game, and restricted from donating further to MC-Central.



Additional Information:




► Never share your account with others


► Creating fake reports will result in the reporter receiving the punishment

Age? (Recommended age 14 and above, but ALL ages qualify.):
I am 14 years old.


Any previous server bans? (Why, please use detail. Does not affect application.):
I was banned on a previous server that I played on for "Griefing." I was just playing the game (Survival) and I think that I had taken someones furnace and they banned me for it. Other then that, I do not have any other bans on record.


What Rank are you applying for? (Developers are accepted with sufficient knowledge.):
I am applying for any rank that is open. Even if it means climbing my way up the staff ranks i'm fine with it. At least that way I know that I earned my rank.


Why have you decided to apply? (In Detail):
I have decided to apply to become staff on your server for a couple of reasons actually. My first reason for applying is I love to help people. I love being apart of something that is doing good for the community and makes me feel good inside about doing it. Now that may seem cheesy but that is number one. My number two reason for applying is I love being apart of a community. I love being known in a community and I like the feeling you get when you join a server and everyone says "Hello!" and "Welcome!" it makes me feel good. Third, I like to have a little bit of power. Although that may make me seem a bit immature and power hungry, which it might be. I like being able to have a little bit of power as it makes me feel more like a leader. Going with that, I love to lead people. Whether it be in-game, in real life, etc.. Finally, just going off of your PMC post, seeing as how professional and organized it is, I think that your server is going to be very successful and that is something that I always look for when applying for a server.

Timezone? (Exact):
Eastern Time Zone, EST (UTC−05:00), EDT (UTC−04:00)

Do you have a Skype? (Please don't post your Skype here, a 'Yes or no' is acceptable.):
I have many communication platforms which include but are not limited too; Skype, Teamspeak, and Discord.

-If you do not have Skype, please make arrangements to create an account.

*Exceptions will be made with availability of experience proof shown


Do you have any experience with server Moderation/Management? (Explain in Detail):
I personally think that I have quite a bit of experience with server Moderation and Management. To start off, I owned my own server for about seven months. I had run it with quite a small staff team. I had two Co-Owners, five Admins, seven Moderators and nine Helpers. It was quite a well going server until my player base started to slowly dwindle away so like any sane person would do, I started to do some sales to try and bring players back. Although it didn't work. After a short amount of time, I had to shut my server down due to lack of donations. Other than that, I was an Admin on a decently popular server which had a player base of about 400-500 players on at a time. I stayed there for about eight months before I decided to leave because the Owner was starting to get money hungry and started to do things that was going to give the server a bad reputation. Again, the only other server that I was staff on was a quite small server which didn't have many players, I was a General Manager for. I basically ran the server events, ran the giveaways and such. I had only stayed with that server for about 3 months because it had shut down due to lack of donations.

Has your player had any name changes? (Please list them):
My player has had a couple of name changes in his lifetime. The list goes from the top being my first, to the bottom being my current IGN.

Anything else you would like to tell us? (This feature is not optional or a yes/no answer. This is "your time to shine." Tell us about yourself! Whats your favorite food? Tell us if you live in a big city or a small city! - for all I care ("for all I care" is a joke, and not meant literally since most this information has been strict.) .. Impress us. This is not based on length, but the more you tell us, the better/higher chance you will have of qualification.):
I am a fourteen year old male who lives in a small town in eastern Pennsylvania. I go to a public school. I moved to my current location after living on Long Island, NY for about twelve years of my life. I am currently a freshman in high school and am taking all advanced classes. Due to it being different in different school districts, advanced classes for me means that I am taking classes that are higher than my grade level. Since I am in ninth grade, I am taking tenth and eleventh grade classes. Including college level Spanish. I also play baseball for a tournament team that is located near my town. Another thing that I am involved in is Boy Scouts. I have been a Boy Scout since I was about five years old and have loved it ever since. I am currently a Star Scout, working my way up to eagle rank! Some of my personality traits include but are not limited too; natural leader, kind, caring, assertive, respectful, trustworthy, clean, brave, and well spoken.
I just want to thank you for the chance to apply to become staff on your server and thank you for reading my application!

In-game name? : slashfixurself. I just recently changed this to my In-game name because I spend most of my time playing on a factions server and needed a more intimidating name rather than my previous one. It may seem silly but it really did help with the way other players treated me there.


Age? (Recommended age 14 and above, but ALL ages qualify.): I just recently turned fifteen in November.


Any previous server bans? (Why, please use detail. Does not affect application.): I have never been banned from a server.


What Rank are you applying for? (Developers are accepted with sufficient knowledge.): I am not really experienced with these kinds of things. I’ve been playing Minecraft for a while and have only played on the major servers for majority of the time. Because of this, I am not expecting to get a higher rank as my first time helping with a server instead of playing on it. I would be fine with Moderator or anything else as long as I’m helping other people’s playtime more enjoyable.


Why have you decided to apply? (In Detail): As stated before, I have been spending most of my time on Minecraft playing minigames and factions and, to be honest, I’ve grown slightly bored of it. I still love Minecraft and everything it has to offer but, no matter how many new minigames are invented, none of them excite me anymore. I want to contribute to making other people’s time on Minecraft fun and enjoyable. I had never thought about applying for server management. I am glad that your form is the first I found though because it gives off a very professional vibe unlike most other things on Planet Minecraft.


Timezone? (Exact): Central Time Zone UTC-06:00



Do you have a Skype? (Please don't post your Skype here, a 'Yes or no' is acceptable.): Yes

-If you do not have Skype, please make arrangements to create an account.

*Exceptions will be made with availability of experience proof shown


Do you have any experience with server Moderation/Management? (Explain in Detail): As previously stated, I do not have any server moderation/management experience and I do understand if that is a major factor in my acceptance. I have some experience with commands and such but only to my only use. I do have slight knowledge on what goes on behind the curtains of servers.


Has your player had any name changes? (Please list them): My first Minecraft username was Samantha_55 which I kept for quite a while. Then I changed it to SamanthaHere in hopes of starting a Youtube channel which did not turn out so well. I finally changed it to slashfixurself which is my name now. The name is a bit rude and I would be fine with changing it if that would be more beneficial.


Anything else you would like to tell us? (This feature is not optional or a yes/no answer. This is "your time to shine." Tell us about yourself! Whats your favorite food? Tell us if you live in a big city or a small city! - for all I care ("for all I care" is a joke, and not meant literally since most this information has been strict.) .. Impress us. This is not based on length, but the more you tell us, the better/higher chance you will have of qualification.): First off, my name is Samantha and I am a fifteen year old living in a small town in north Texas. I am currently homeschool and trying to get ahead so I can graduate early and go to MIT. Due to my attendance from last year in public school, I am not able to start that this year but as soon as next school year starts, I will be working my hardest to get that goal reached. Because of me being homeschooled, I have a lot of time on my hands, for this year anyways. I get ahead on school work and usually spend most of that free time playing factions or watching Youtubers playing factions. Basically, I spend most of my time with factions. I have always been a huge fan of computers, coding, and basically anything to do with technology. I would really like to learn more advanced coding and it’s really hard to find good programs that aren’t mean for children. I know the basics but I have been wanting to learn the more difficult stuff for a while now. Hopefully working with a server or even just building my way up to working with it will help me with that. I’m glad that you took time to read my application. I wish you all the luck with MC-Central and hope you have a great day.
