Staff Information

Staff are held to a higher standard than other members on Modify, however due to this, staff also get final say in all punishments, and results of tickets. Members are not allowed to request other staff to review something and they are not allowed to harass staff members over their decisions.

We expect staff members to be respectful to the community, you have to meet these requirements: " All staff members of the server, especially Admins+, must maintain a positive public image and refrain from trash talking or engaging in negative public discourse about other servers, communities, individuals or anything related to bad behavior". Any staff found not metting these requirements will be removed from the staff team.

Explanation

Trainee is the rank that people receive after having their staff application accepted and passing the interview. They aren't meant to do too much, their main goal should be trying to learn how to do a helper's job by asking questions to their mentor in their assigned mentorship channel.

A trainee will remain that rank until the managementteam decides they should be promoted to helper or demoted.

When a ticket is created, the first people who are meant to respond to it are our helpers, they should be able to answer any common questions that people have as well as deciding if the ticket requires a higher member of staff, and if so, what rank it requires.

Staff applications get accepted based on the applicant's previous activity on the server and in the Discord, their punishment history, and their answers to the scenario and long explanation questions. If someone shares their account with anyone, their application will be immediately denied.

Applications that are likely to be accepted are from applicants who play often, every day or two, and talk a lot in the Discord, don't have punishments or were a long time ago, and have long/detailed answers to questions and reasons for wanting to become a staff member.

Applications that are likely to be rejected are if the applicant shares an account, used AI in their response, have been banned somewhat recently, ar below the age of 15, haven't put much effort in, haven't been active, and people who have joined the server recently.

If your application passes the inital auditing process, you will be asked to come to an interview in-game through a ticket in the Discord. You will have 5 days to respond to the ticket or you will lose the chance to become staff. If you pass the interview, you will be given a role in the FFA Discord that will give you access to the staff invite channel. You are required to go to this channel and join the Modify Staff Discord for access to all the staff channels.

Promotions can happen at any time, they aren't the same as applications which typically only happen once a month. For example, a trainee will be promoted to helper as soon as the management team thinks they are ready instead of having to wait for a staff wave.

Due to this, trainees specifically may not be promoted for a while if we don't think they are trying to learn by asking their mentor questions in their assigned mentorship channel. For more information, check the trainee role explanation.

Promotions are not only based on tickets done or amount of people punished (although we do take them into account), we primarily base them on if we believe we can trust you enough to be promoted and if we can see you actively want to make the server better. Another factor of you being promoted is how well you get along with staff, we want a staff team that can work well together.

Similar to promotions, these can happen at any time and do not require to be during a staff wave (although we will mainly be looking at staff inactivity demotions around the staff wave). You can be demoted for a lot of different reasons and sometimes we won't share what it is.

Unlike other servers, demotions on Modify are likely to be a full staff demotion (and sometimes ban) rather than going down one or two ranks. This is due to the reasons we demote normally being punishable if they were a player. We also fully demote for things that players are unable to do such as abusing as even if you do lose the permission to abuse, you are extremely likely to abuse again if given the chance.

Another common reason for being demoted on Modify is being inactive, of course we do recognise that you can be busy and have things come up, if that is the case you can read staff inactivity. However, if we feel as though you are being too inactive (months without end, even if due to IRL reasons) you may be removed from the staff team and can reapply when you aren't as busy IRL.

Leaking staff information will cause you to get demoted, this can be sharing punishment evidence, the staff who punished a player, staff announcements, etc. There is also a high likelihood you will be banned if you leak staff information, especially if it contains someone's personal information.
