Want To Be Staff?

I have been getting a lot of PMs lately about people wanting to be staff members, so I decided a thread is a lot easier than countless of the same reply.

The reason we only have two staff currently, is because we weren't expecting it to become so popular so quickly. Needless to say, we will be recruiting more staff to help speed up the approval process. So if you want to be a staff member, just fill out the template I will link and please be patient. We might take a while to get back to you, as Kida and I will talk over each request before making it final, to ensure that we have quality staff. Also understand that we might say no to you, for the good of the site and its members. If you think that will upset you, then do not apply.

A few rules for any staff applicants. These key points will be looked at before anything else.

• Patience: This is a key thing, and one of the most important. If you are easily angered by little things, do not apply. We need staff that are clam and willing to work things out.
  
• Not power hungry: We will NOT tolerate staff that abuse their powers. If someone disagree's with you or states their opinion in a calm manner, that is their right. If you ban them, yell at them, or do anything against them because "You are staff and you can do that" we will destaff you, maybe even ban you. The ONLY difference between members and staff are that the staff are moderators, and willing to dedicate their time to helping the site grow and the members stay happy. You don't have powers that allow you to break the rules whenever you want.
  
• Knowledgeable: Meaning that you know about Naruto, preferably mostly from the Manga. This is a canon site, but we follow the rules and facts that have been stated in the manga. Filler episodes are NOT considered canon, so remember that, as plenty of things in fillers directly clash with facts from canon.
  
• Lenient: Don't ban every jutsu because you don't like it, or it seems a bit too difficult to do. Look it over in detail, look at the character in question (their training, history, abilities, etc. etc.), look over any relations of that ability in canon, try to figure out how it would work at their current rank, and later on when they become a lot stronger. The list goes on. This works the other way too - Don't approve stuff that is either blatant copies of canon stuff (bloodlines that copy jutsu or make Susanoo-esque beings, clans that use canine familiars to fight, genjutsu that force them to view painful memories until they're mentally crippled, etc. etc.).
  
• Team member: Remember, the staff is a team. If one staff approves something that another disagrees with, or vice-versa, then talk it out and settle it maturely and calmly. We are all on the same team here. Also on this note, is that you must be able to handle constructive criticism without taking offense. If you do something that another possibly more experienced staff member sees isn't the right way, and they tell you your mistake, don't act like he is harassing and insulting you. If you feel that is happening, talk to another staff or myself and we'll figure it out and work it out.
  
• Good example: Members will do what they see staff doing, in many cases. If a staff is a jerk all the time, members will know they can be also. if a staff makes horribly overpowered characters, then the members will too. Do the right thing and be as good in every area as you want our members to be.
  
• English: I assure you this is not a racist comment at all. I do not care if English is not your first language, I understand and honestly I envy your ability to speak multiple languages. What I mean by this is that this site is in English, and it even states in the rules that grammar, spelling and all things of the sort are required. While we are not too strict on this rule, we will be for staff. As in the above, we want staff to be good examples to our members, and as such, we want staff that spell correctly, use proper grammar and punctuation, etc. etc.

I am sure there is more, but I will add it if necessary, though I feel that is a basic enough example of what we're looking for. If you think you can follow all of this and are on often and want to help out, then apply with the below template. Best of luck to you, and apologies in advance for anyone that isn't accepted, but we appreciate the offer to help either way. ^_^
