Applying

Applying in MCBall could either mean you are most likely applying for moderator (TrialMoD), build team member, or least likely a ban appeal. Here is a detailed page about every scenario.

Moderator
Applying to become a moderator could be accessed by clicking the "Apply" tab, and then the "Moderator application" link. The following is displayed on the page: '''In this form you will be applying for being a TrialMod. After a certain time we will decide to promote you to Mod, prolong your trail time or turn down your staff obligations.''' Being a moderator means dedicating your time to helping players, answering questions and making sure everyone behaves appropriately. You would be doing this at all times whilst online. This means you must be active on MCBall (website, in game, discord etc.) for a reasonable time. While being on anything MCBall related you would always have to be mindful that whenever you post, chat or talk on there you do that as a staff member representing MCBall; ensuring you always do so in a calm and polite way. It is also expected that you do not abuse your powers as we take such issues very seriously. Besides applying for a Moderator, you also have the option to apply for any of the extra activities that will be done be staff. This might mean there are extra requirements, which will be discussed in an interview. Here is a list of the extra activities and what they imply. Naturally, not every extra activity might suitable for you or open for new members. (NOTE: You can apply for TrialMod without having to apply for a team.) Outreach team: Being in the outreach team means you will be investing your time in making MCBall attractive for newer players. (Advertisements, propoganda videos etc.) Event team: Being in the event team means that you will be planning and arranging events (tournaments and more) Website team: Being in the website team means that you will moderate the website. Development team: Being in the development team means you will be creating new MCBall plugins and anything development related.
