Hey there, so it has come to our attention that we need more high-quality staff to help deal with the amount we have been growing as of late. The Representative rank is a step in the right direction towards resolving this issue.
What is the Representative rank?
The Representative rank is the new lowest tier staff rank. You will be able to apply for it over at the applications section. It is a realization from us that not everyone has the time to devote that we require, so good applicants We also accept that the barrier to entry to become a helper is actually pretty high—most applicants we have found are turned away. The Representative rank is changing that, as it is specifically tiered for those with the right mindset but who lack experience or deep knowledge of the rules yet.
What can a "Representative" do?
Representatives are given the ability to issue SEV_1 chat mutes and warnings. They are fully qualified staff members. People who apply for Helper but don't score so well—but still mean well—are likely to be offered the Representative rank. However, you can apply for it directly and stay there if you so desire it.
What do you mean by "stay there"?
The way we ran new staff in the past is that we gave Helpers one month to improve to the point where they could be classified as a Moderator - they were then given a test and judge based upon their results and the actions they took over the course of the month. If they scored above the pass rate, they were accepted in as a Moderator. This is no longer the case. Representatives and Helpers can now choose to take that next step after one month of work in that position. This means that, if someone feels they can only devote enough time to be a Representative, then they are let do exactly that.
What is the point of any of this?
To help improve the experience you guys have! We need more staff to cater to more people, and, as previously mentioned, the Representative rank is the first huge step in the right direction towards accommodating that.
Additional note - Mini-modding correction
We have found over the course of the past few days when the mini-modding rule was instated that it has been too stringent. As a result of this, we are now altering this rule to the following.

Hello, everyone! Glad to see you here on Noble Craft today.
This is a rather large scale update regarding server rules, so I've broken it down into sections so that it is easy to read and reference.
Content Rules (Minor part)
It has come to the attention of NC staff that people sometimes post with a particular effort set aside focused on making their post unreadable. This is now reason enough to get your post removed. Reason being, it's annoying to read, it does not add valuable content to this forum, and, most importantly, it does not allow for proper communication within this community. We are not going to be very hard on grammar rules, ever. However, if we deem that someone is specifically writing their post in a manner that makes it especially difficult to read, it will be removed without warning. Continued breaking of this rule will result in your posting privileges suspended temporarily, and eventually permanently with repeated rule breaks. If you are wondering what I am referring to, it is when:
Punishment System Update
This is something sounding as a result of personal inspection of the rules, the punishment system found within this network, and the actions of past offenders. The punishment system, upon creation, was incorrectly named. It is more of a "push you in the right direction" system. Long, convoluted name, we know, but you get the idea. We don't actually like punishing our players. The reason the punishment system exists is to give players a second chance. The system, in its present form, has been misused entirely. People know how the system works and as a direct result of this, are never corrected and the bending of the rules happens continually.
The present system worked as follows: Informal warnings are followed by formal warnings, which are followed by an actual punishment classified by severity (SEV_1, SEV_2, etc.) based on your punishments accrued in the last month. So if you were to "work your way up" to a SEV_3 chat offense, and then you broke another chat rule 30 days later, you would be given an informal warning—more or less. Note: Informal warnings are not required—they are more for people who have genuinely made a mistake and are used ad hoc (executed or established for a particular purpose only).
The new system works as follows: Informal warnings are only given to those who have been a member of the server...
