EDIT: I also think there should never be hard post requirements for rank advancement, they should be based on maturity and experience as an admin. Not how much you post.
Ah. Well, it's partially an issue of players who don't play on the same server as the person applying not knowing who they are. The applicant needs to have spent at least some time on vent/forums besides the server to be familiar with the community. Obviously this is why we have the requirement, but I just don't think we need a requirement to make this happen. Although, the only thing we'd benefit from by removing is lack of spam, which is nice.EDIT: I also think there should never be hard post requirements for rank advancement, they should be based on maturity and experience as an admin.

I believe that's how getting admin in general should be but since nobody likes that idea I'm suggesting other ways to get people to post since it's such a big deal. Also if they can make the admin app section visible but not accessible that's fine too; just not sure if it was possible on my older forum but maybe it is here.

Well, congratulations on saying the same thing, I obviously didn't read your post in detail. Anyway, restricting them from actually posting (while still being able to see the board) would have much better results.
They'll ask on the server how to apply for admin, someone will say to go to the forums, and they will go to the forums and not see the requirements or the board and just post in the gmod board.

I was restating in simpler terms for clarity, if only my own. But okay.Sorry if I sounded like a dick, but I just thought it was funny that you both said the same thing and then both told me you said the same thing.

I also think the re-apply cooldown period should be one month; unless permanently denied for admin.

Didn't it already say this somewhere in the old book of yonder?
To go on. tangent mentioned earlier. Iirc lack of activity on the forums is grounds for removal of admin.^^^^^
My personal opinion might differ from the minority on this. Please shoot me.
No, but also whoever said don't let them see admin app section till they have 20 post?
What? They wouldn't know the requirements if they can't see it.
