@757 Actually, we seldom need more Staff, so you don't see it often. For Reviewers, there is a community tryout for anyone interested and 3-4 of the ones who are best suited for the position are selected.

As for Adminship, when it's needed, a few of the most likely candidates are selected from the community (ones who can take responsibility for the position required) nd the community holds a voting session of who they want there and why they think they would do well in the position. No offense, but we don't really /need/ more than a handful of admins to keep things in line, as selecting tons would likely be asking for trouble.

As for the Advancement method...I'll be perfectly honest, that page isn't kept up to date, so that's dated information. When people are needed in a position, it's announced to the community.

As for joining staff, it's not something you work up to, it just kinda happens. Basically, be a member for a nice while, behave yourself and, when a position opens up that you would be eliagable for, you ask. But you can't, for instance, be a CM if you never get on the chat or a Reviewer if you can't examine characters and pick them apart.

Some long time users who have been coming here a lot longer than me have tried for some positions before and not gotten them still. It's all a matter of if you can handle the position and are well suited to it.
