Yeah, he's been playing on the server nonstop since he first joined, he already has more hours on the ZPS server in the past week than anyone else.
I need the help and Smiley's been awesome so far, just want to do things officially. I'm sure he'll continue to post around on the forums.
Even if Pillz gave permission, its not fair to just push somebody through because A) not active on the forums and less then 20 posts and B) we don't just hand out admin to friends of CLs/HA/whatever. Its up to the people if your allowed to become admin, not just for a CL/HA to disregard certain rules and make somebody admin just cause.
Incorrect.
NOTE: Head Admins have the right to adjust the requirements for their specific servers. This includes adding to, or removing requirements. Please check with the Head Admin of the server you wish to apply for BEFORE you apply, to ensure you meet all requirements.
Who does him having admin effect in CG? Me and the ZPS admins. Therefore it is the ZPS HA's decision as to whether or not he can become admin, and it always has been. If there are no admins playing anymore and the server needs help, rules can be bent. I had admins who used to play ZPS a LOT but weren't active on the forums, and while I could of pushed for them to just post; why force people to post when they don't want to, as long as they keep the server orderly and populated, they're doing their job as admin and I'm happy. Posting can come later, as it did for me when I first joined SKG as an admin. Like I said when listing my ideal changes to the admin ranks, the 20 post count should be OPTIONAL and something trials work on after they become admin, and we can require forum activity and community involvement for later ranks like regular and veteran.
It should be up to the community if someone gets CL, GM, GA, VA or CO but Trial/regular admins are for a single server and it should be up to the admins on that server if they're capable of admin. Anyone with actual insight on the applicants history or skill can also post, but even if he had 20 posts; the people who haven't played with him won't have a valid opinion other than "he seems cool from his posts" which isn't much help at all.
Minimum post requirement for admins is 20 posts, and he's at 10. Nothing will come from waiting another day or two so he can reach 20 posts, he'll still be a stranger to the community at first but that's how new people work. We'll get to know him in time, but I need admins now.
