Staff Positions
Please review all policies before posting your application. Our Staff Authority Policy is located here. On that page, you can also find policies for each staff position. All staff members are started in the Assistant position, Moving up is easy as long as you follow the rules.
Assistant
Assistants focus on day-to-day community moderation and player support. Their responsibilities include resolving player disputes, enforcing server rules, and handling reports across in-game chat, Discord, and the website. Assistants do not have access to creative mode and serve as a communication bridge between the player base and the admin team.
A separate guide outlines Assistant permissions, commands, workflows, and expectations in greater detail. You can find this guide HERE.

Moderators perform all Assistant duties with added authority and responsibility. They have access to creative mode, assist with server projects, handle situations escalated by Assistants, and help manage or host community events. Moderators are expected to demonstrate strong judgment and leadership within the community.
Admin
Admins oversee server development, infrastructure, and long-term projects. This role involves technical maintenance and system-level decisions.
