ElyriaMC — Staff Application Overview

This page outlines the staff application process, requirements, and tips for becoming a member of the ElyriaMC staff team. Please read everything carefully before applying. Yes, all of it.

Staff Application Process

Becoming staff on ElyriaMC happens in three stages:
Application → Review → Trial

Step 1: Application Stage

Submit your application via the Staff Applications form.

While your application is under review, the following is expected:

• Consistent in-game activity

• No rule violations across ElyriaMC platforms

• Professional behaviour in chat, Discord, and other public spaces

If you do not meet the requirements or are deemed unsuitable, your application will be denied with a reason provided. You may reapply after 3 months.

If accepted, you’ll move on to Step 2.

Step 2: Review Stage (Text-Based)

If your application passes initial screening, you will be given the Pending role in the ElyriaMC Discord. This grants access to a private #pending channel.

During this stage:

• Staff may ask follow-up questions about your application

• Scenarios may be presented to test judgement and rule knowledge

• Communication will be entirely text-based

This stage allows us to evaluate how you think, explain decisions, and apply the rules without pressure or voice interviews.

If you fail this stage, you will be informed via direct message and may reapply after 3 months.
If you pass, you’ll move on to Step 3.

Step 3: Trial Stage

The trial stage lasts approximately 2 weeks.

During this time, you will hold the role of Helper. This period is used to assess:

• Activity and reliability

• Accuracy of punishments

• Professionalism and maturity

• Ability to work with the staff team

As a Trainee, you are expected to:

• Assist players

• Moderate chat

• Handle appropriate player reports

• Record evidence for all punishments issued

Excessive false punishments, inactivity, or unprofessional behaviour may result in demotion. If demoted, you may reapply after 3 months.

Successful Helpers will be promoted to Moderator.

Application Requirements

All requirements must be met. Missing even one will result in an automatic denial.
Meeting the requirements does not guarantee acceptance.

You must:

• Be able to record videos and screenshots of rule breakers
  (Minimum: 720p @ 30FPS)

• Be active on ElyriaMC for at least 3 months

• Have previous staff or moderation experience

• Put genuine effort into your application — low-effort answers will be denied

• Be honest and provide verifiable proof of past experience

• Not ask staff members to review or comment on your application

• Have no more than 1 mute in the last month

• Have no bans in the last 6 months

• Be 15 years of age or older

• Not be affiliated with blacklisted or problematic players/groups

• Not share your Minecraft, Discord, or forum accounts

• Not use generative AI in your application

Yes, we do check. Lying will end the process immediately.

Traits That Improve Your Chances (Optional)

Not required, but helpful:

• Active reporting and helping players

• Above-average in-game activity

• Being part of ElyriaMC for 6+ months

• A clean punishment history

• Positive interactions with current staff

• Discord activity

Application Tips

Before submitting:

• Take your time — rushed applications show

• Be honest and confident

• Explain any past punishments and what you learned

• Proofread your answers

• Address feedback if reapplying

• Stand out — tell us why you belong on the team

We’re looking for people who add value, not just people who want a rank.
