Hey! It's RebelKnox, the owner of The Sapling Central Network! I am here today to introduce our server and acquire staff/workers. Now this is not my/our first "attempt" at creating networks. 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 attitude opponent, you are most certainly welcome!
Here are some tips to applying made directly from the head administration team for Sapling 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 Sapling Central Staff 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 Sapling 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 Sapling 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 Sapling 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 Sapling 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 Sapling 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 Sapling Central, players will seem like the staff team for Sapling 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.)

May I ask what type of server this is going to be or is?
Hey there Voidaxell! Feel free to add: SaplingCentral to your Skype, and we'll discuss there! As stated above, this will be a network containing various servers.
a network server is a server with different types of gamemodes such as factions,creative,skyblock,skywars,and hungergames
In-game name? : _Hgwells_
Age? :21
Any previous server bans? (Why, please use detail. Does not affect application.):
To the best of my knowledge no, if there are any against my name it has been for testing purposes or for unjust reasoning (e.g I wouldn't help an admin build). I've always been a friendly and fair player meaning I've never hacked, griefed, abused, spammed or done anything else against the rules.
What Rank are you applying for? :
Helper/Moderator whichever is applicable.
Why have you decided to apply? (In Detail):
I've been various staff on hundreds of servers over the years however the vast majority of these have been small servers maxing about 30 players on at a time, I've wanted to expand on my experience in a large scale environment as I feel this will both be more challenging and worthwhile in the long run. Now don't get me wrong I may have been staff on quite a few servers but I've always dedicated my time specifically to 1-2 servers at any one time (anymore and you simply don't have the time to give the proper amount of dedication).
The thing that drew me to applying to your server is the fact you're looking to set up a network and simply put this means that you won't be smalltime and will actually know how to run things, too many times have I been staff on servers on which the owners abuse/belittle their staff or simply don't even know how to do anything.
Timezone? (Exact): +0 GMT (London)
Do you have a Skype? (Please don't post your Skype here, a 'Yes or no' is acceptable.): Yes
Do you have any experience with server Moderation/Management? (Explain in Detail): As I previously stated I've been staff on quite a few amount of servers for which this has ranged from Helper/Jr.Mod all the way up to Admin/Head-Admin, most recently I've been more of a builder and am currently Head-Builder for Horizon Networks(Formally ObeyAlliance). My previous staff role was Helper for DestinyMc and Sr.Mod for ByteMc(Now disbanded).
Has your player had any name changes? (Please list them):

Anything else you would like to tell us? I'm never entirely sure what to post on this section so I'm just going to wing it if that's okay. I've been playing MC since alpha and have never stopped playing it since, I've ventured into all areas from texture creation all the way up to redstone engineering(this is still one of my passions). I'm currently a college student studying Computing and in my free time like to expand on my coding skills for which I know a variety of paradigms (still haven't touched java yet though). I'm a friendly guy and work well independently or as part of a team. Now I could list off a spiel of how great and wonderful I am but simply put this is all just text to you so I won't insult you like that, all I ask is give me the chance to get to know me and hopefully that's all you'll need.
