Frequently Asked Questions
Can I apply to be in more than one section?
Not initially, we ask you to choose one first to get you on board with. After three months on the team you are eligible for an extension to another section. This is approved at the discretion of all appropriate Section Leaders.
How do I join the Volunteer Team?
After you've been a Forum Helper for at least 3 months, you are eligible to join the Volunteer Team. These users have some more buttons available to them to help keep the community safe and our forums tidy. VTs work more closely with TSR Community Staff and also support the mentoring of FHs. As a Volunteer Team member you would have permissions in the same forums as you did when you were a FH, and can extend across sections in exactly the same way.
How do I become a Volunteer Section Leader?
VSLs are experienced members of the VT who are appointed to lead one (occasionally two) sections of the site. VSLs run FH applications and a whole host of other admin too. To become one you need to have become a FH, joined the VT at least three months later, and then been a consistent presence within the VT team for that section. The Community Staff make the final decision on who can be a VSL.
How clean does my Community Record need to be?
This is assessed by the Community Staff @ TSR HQ and is done on a case by case basis. We can't give a figure for how many of which cards you are allowed to have. All of the below are assessed:
- Which type of cards you have received
- How recently you received them (regardless of whether they are still active)
- The nature of the rule-breaking
- How many cards you have received in total
Most FH applicants have no cards and don't need to worry about this in the slightest.
