    Depends on the server owner, some have their own threads on the forum which you can apply on. On other servers they pick those who they deem friendly and helpful. Other servers are ran by complete retards and only admin their best buds, then go on massive abusing sprees.

    If you're taking about becoming a Guard, see the FAQ written by the handsome + intelligent SirSalami here.

    As for specific server administration, it's really contextual; One's pretty spot-on with his summary, because some server owners are great and others are horrid. As general advice, playing a lot on a particular server is bound to get you noticed, though that won't be a good thing if you have a bad attitude. You can also apply directly in a server's thread, but the former begets the latter, I would think.

    Yes. The server owner picks the admins for his/her server.

    Exactly, and on some of the most popular servers like Australian CTF it can be about who has been really active on the server or amount of kills or who can moderate really well and have expierence on owning servers.

    And if you're asking about becoming an admin on the forums, well, there are various ways. I know I saxed chins with Furai for two days and a knight, but Rayne still won't talk about his time in the basement. I think Kouji did something involving hullahoops and lime juice... :huh?:

    All I know is, in a certain server, it requires paypal or a photo of your breasts disregarding whatever gender you are.

    You have to show that you are worthy of respect.

    You also have to be cool.

    Play on the server a lot, become friendly with the server owner and other admins, send a PM to the server owner inquiring about admins... That's how I got to be an admin on Beo's servers. I usually play on Beo's CTF in the early morning, and I just PMed him. I simply said, "Hello! I don't know if you need server admins, but I always play on the server and would be more than happy to help with administration." blah blah blah what everyone else said.

    Some places, the admins are all buddy buddy and they like killing people using editor, breaking bedrock over the enemy team. These people are children, and the cancer of KAG.

    Ok ya that makes a lot of sense. Also, bonesauce, do clans such as MOLE or others ever do like recruiting?
     
  16. Yeah I guess become the best player on the server donate some maps become good friends with the owner and stuff also Panasonic For the 50 time stop spamming chats just to get messages, It gets annoying. Also sheek maybe congratulate them on that being your fav sever, Bur you have to mean it:).

    Another option is making your own server or going on forums 24/7 and helping people when they need it but don't spam.

    Hope This helps and good luck to whatever server you may become admin on
    :D

    Sure, tons of clans recruit. MOLE actually just went through a recruiting phase, and who knows. Maybe somewhere down the line we'll do another inactive member purge. NO PROMISES THOUGH.
