Staff Responsibilities and Progression

Progression

Staff progression is based on merit, contribution, and alignment with our staff values. Promotion is determined by a combination of factors, including but not limited to:

• Activity – Regular and consistent participation.
• Character – Integrity, professionalism, and attitude.
• Competence – Skill in performing staff duties effectively.
• Suitability for Promotion – Readiness and organisational fit to take on higher responsibility.
• Engagement with the Server & Community – Active involvement and positive influence.
• Adherence to Staff Values and Expectations – Following policies and expectations.
• Communication – Ability to challenge ideas constructively and speak up when something is wrong.
• Initiative – Going above and beyond in problem-solving, leadership, and contributions. (This is a major factor in distinguishing top performers.)

Progression is NOT determined by

• Political or business affiliations (spicy or not).
• Personal friendships with other staff members (rapport may be considered, but not decisive).
• Personal support or alignment with any player, political figure, or faction.

Who determines your progression to these ranks

• All: Your mentor will advise in if and when you are promoted.
• Senior Administrator: Server Leadership
• Administrator: Senior Staff
• Moderator: Administration Team+
• Trial Moderator: Administration Team+

How does it work?

1. Nomination – A senior staff member raises a nomination, often after 4–6 months in a role (you may also flag interest).
2. Discussion – The team evaluates the member’s suitability and relevant factors.
3. Vote – The nomination is put to a vote. Votes are generally neutral, with no comments by the proposer in the vote channel.
4. Outcome – A decision is reached over time, or after further discussion if needed.
