Website & Forums Application Information

Time of Response
In the Moderator Application information, nowhere is stated in which time frame that you could get a response from your application.
Like could it take 2-3 days for staff to review your application? They tell you to be patient afterwards but you could be waiting here for a month without a response.
Maybe tell us what to do if we haven't heard a response yet for about a week or something.
And also maybe mention if the person that sended an application would get a response via the Forums or Email.

Submitted Confirmation Screen
Also add like a confirmation screen at the end of the Application, as I clicked on submit, it just randomly brings me back to the wynncraft website. There should be a message saying something like; "Your application has been submitted", because I wouldn't have an idea if I sended it or not.

For the first point
"We will never respond to the applications, acknowledge them in PMs, give you tips to improve, or release them to the public. If you submit one, expect nothing to happen and expect nothing in return."
I agree with the second point though

 

^^ this

I'd also like to note that for mod apps it usually takes from a few weeks to a few months to get a response, if you get one at all.

 

Still, how would people know if they get accepted??
Like no response whatsoever? Nothing like; "You have been accepted to the staff team etc... Your training starts in a few days.".

Edit: I meant to reply on the first reply.

 

I believe they get a response if they get accepted, it's not like you have been accepted and not told about it.

What they mean is if you are not accepted, there is no guarantee for any response whatsoever.

 

So you could wait for a month to get a response, in that time you could have applied for another server and get accepted. And then no response like "You have been denied, try again in a month". Just an example.

 

I feel on that, I am guessing there is some reason for the system they use. Might be a long process to accept, might have specific reasons, idk. Don't want to make any assumptions because most of this isn't exactly public and I don't want to spread rumors, but there is probably a reason for why they don't reply or take a long time to do so.

 

I would like the second point.

 

We send a message saying that the person has been accepted. They can either accept or deny in case they changed their minds.
However we don't say too much about apps, and I think that is as far as I should go.

I do agree with your second point, however I don't with the first.

 

This makes no sense to me.
In the application information everything should be mentioned, like when you're going to apply for a job at a company.
So you do get a response, but where? In my email? Forums? And you do have a full page of text on how to be a Moderator etc..., but giving the applicant some more information about how/when he gets a reply is too much.
This is some normal information that should be mentioned, there shouldn't be anything secret about it.

I also asked the Community Manager a question about why there is the text above the application; "Hey, Don't forget to save this on your computer, we don't want to see your hard work gone to waste", something in those lines.
And do I get a response??? No! This wasn't a question about my application, I literally just asked something about what you people wrote above your application.

That just shows the amount of effort and professionalism that has been put in the making of the application information.

 

Because you shouldn't forget to save this on your computer, they don't want to see your hard work gone to waste. It's literally what it says. Maybe you want to apply again, improve on your previous application. Why type another one when changes to your previous application will suffice.

Also, nobody is obliged to answer your questions so don't get salty about it.

 

This just shows again that no one has a better argument.
And just because I'm saying what I think doesn't mean that I'm getting salty.

And you already answered my question.

He is a community manager, his work is to help people, and my question wasn't about my application. So he should answer.

 

You get a message in your inbox on the forums. Basically applying just shows us that you want to be a mod. We will then have to discuss a lot, since we’re very picky. We don’t want power abuse. There’s no time frame of when you get a response, but I can say it takes a long time for us to go through all these apps and consider every player. Ya gotta be patient man.

Pretzule is extremely busy. He’s also about to leave the team, iirc he explained this in a thread and/or his profile. This is why I recommend you send your questions to me or another mod, instead of him.

I think the person above me answered your question pretty well, but if you still don’t understand, feel free to tag me.

 

This was a good answer, I understand it now.

 

I saved one of my unfinished applications to my computer to work on the next day. It saved in a folder and a .html file. The html file just brings me to the application page with all blank boxes and the folder is just code files and images. How can I reopen my application with all my progress?

 

Even though this post was within the necropost limit the thread was dead. Other than that it's not really on topic. You should've just made a separate thread in questions.
