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).
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. 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.
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).
- Not getting into arguments with other players or making enemies.
Things that do not help your chances (and may even hurt them) include:
- Making becoming Trusted your 'career' (it's fine to want Trusted, but if we perceive that as your only reason for doing things it becomes hard to judge your character).
- Publicly making accusatory statements about other players (be discreet - if you're suspicious about someone, make a
/modreq
or message a staff member). - Giving new players items as soon as they join.
- Chatting in an overly formal way (in the context of an online game, this can be perceived as rude).
Getting feedback
If you have been eligible for the role for a while and feel overlooked, you can message froobynooby on Discord for a summary of feedback received during the selection process.
