Server guide/Trusted selection
This guide explains the selection process for 💎 Trusted players on FroobWorld.
🤝 Trusted selection
Becoming Trusted is a recognition of a player's positive contributions to the FroobWorld community.
✅ Eligibility
To be eligible for Trusted, players must:
- ⏰ Have joined the server at least two months ago.
- 🧭 Have been very active over the last month.
- 💬 Be in good standing with the community (for example, not recently broken any rules).
Eligibility does not guarantee that a player will be selected for the role, as new Trusted are added based on the needs of the server. In practice, only around 10–20% of eligible players become Trusted. The process used to select Trusted is described in the next section.
🗳️ Selection process
Around once a month, a list of eligible players is compiled and presented to existing Trusted players and Staff for consideration. Over the course of a couple of days, Trusted and Staff discuss who they think is a good fit for the role based on their experiences with them on the server.
Discussion generally center around:
- 🌟 Maturity
- 😊 Friendliness
- 🏘️ Involvement in the community
- 🧠 Level-headedness
The discussion aims to reach a general consensus on who the strongest two or three candidates are. Invitations are then sent out to those selected, if any.
Things that can help your chances of becoming Trusted include:
- 💬 Being an active and courteous contributor in-game, on Discord, and to the wiki.
- 🎉 Frequently contributing to community events.
- 🧰 Showing a good understanding of the server's features and helping others to use them (try familiarising yourself with the other 📘 guides).
- 🤝 Avoiding arguments or drama with other players.
Things that DO NOT help your chances (and may even hurt them) include:
- ⚠️ Making becoming Trusted your “career” — it’s fine to want the rank, but if that’s your only motive it becomes hard to judge your character.
- 🚫 Publicly making accusatory statements about others — if you’re suspicious of someone, make a
/modreqor message a staff member privately. - 🎁 Giving new players items immediately upon joining.
- 💼 Chatting in an overly formal or stiff way — in the context of a casual game, this can come across as unfriendly.
💌 Getting feedback
