Hello Codexians!

It is the start of a new month, and Private applications have opened once again :)

If you don't know what Private Membership is, consider reading the Neocodex F.A.Q. which contains information on the achievable ranks here at Neocodex. For even more info, see the reintroduction thread.

Applying is simple and can net you some big rewards! While the requirements may seem high, please note that this is a rank for active, contributing members.

All members who meet the following criteria are invited to apply:
  • 12 months of forum membership
  • 1000 posts on the forum
  • Consistent activity, friendliness, and/or helpfulness
  • Contributions of some sort including but not limited to programming, graphics or contests participation
Applications only remain open for about a week, so take a few minutes when you get the chance and give us some good answers to the application questions. Putting just your name isn't quite enough to get in.

Finally, this round of applications we will be trying something new (or old, depending on how long you've been a member). Prior to this month, voting was carried out by staff members. This was done primarily because there were not many Private Members (Elindoril alone at one point) who could make up the voting population. Now that we've built a nice cadre, we feel confident that Private can continue a long tradition of voting in their own.

So! We will be extending voting privileges to existing Private and Retired members. With any luck, none of them will break the Application mod. This allows current members (and those promoted to Retired) to have a voice in what sort of members join their ranks. Our attempt at a little democracy for the people ;)

redlion,
Private Leader

Cool beans :) I have enabled the applications again for this month so people can now submit theirs when they want to. I have also just been testing some things to do with automatically posting topics when someone applies too. Private, Retired and Staff will be able to view and comment on these apps via their respective 'discussion' threads.

 

I'm still trying to work out how to automatically add a poll to those topics..... Forget this, I just realised that we can add voting to the applications module and allow access to the Retired/Private ranks to vote via the individual apps. Discussions can still be held in each respective thread though.


Actually, can I get one volunteer to submit a 'test' application for me (just add 'test' to all fields when filling it in) and this person needs to not be Private or above please. I need to clarify some settings.

Ok, so what we're going to do (seeing as the applications mod likes to be difficult) is, people who are eligible, may apply using the Applications mod found here. Then, @redlion will create an individual thread for each application in the Private Applications subforum. This will contain a simple Yes/No poll, along with the application's contents (questions and applicants' answers) and will allow all Private+ members and Staff a chance to discuss/vote on the application there. 

 

Once the voting period is up, then the successful candidates will be announced as per usual.
