From now on, only staff members will be allowed to post replies on Staff Application threads. We are doing this for multiple reasons, but the main reason is so that the threads stay on topic and have fewer replies making it easier when reviewing applications. It will be the job of the applications team to provide input and feedback to help improve each individual application. We also have made a minor tweak to the question regarding the applicant's punishment history to include all servers instead of only NightShade.

As always, we are looking for feedback regarding these changes and will be available to chat over on our Discord which can be found here. All of these changes are not final and may be adjusted or removed over the next few weeks.

Last week we announced that we were going to be temporarily closing staff applications to make some much-needed improvements to the system and how it operates. I'm glad to announce that we have now finished making those changes, and staff applications have reopened. These past few days, we have made many changes to both the application and interview processes which will be explained later in the post. Before submitting an application, it is mandatory that you read over our new Staff Application Format thread. We also recommend reading over our Staff Application Tips and Staff Application Examples threads. These three threads will show you the requirements for applying, tips when applying, and examples of what your application should and shouldn't look like.

The first change that we have made is when and how applications will be reviewed. From now on, we will only be reviewing staff applications on the 1st and 16th of every month. We will be doing this to ensure that we don't deny anyone for having too many staff, and so that we can provide more meaningful feedback on each of the applications that are denied. It will also help us when we are recruiting new staff members onto the team and it also ensures that we can train everyone properly at the same time.

The second change that has been made is the changes to the Staff Application Format thread. On that thread, we have updated information about how the application and interview process works, the new requirements and rules for applying as well as a new format that you must use when creating your application threads. 

The last change we have made is to the interview process. We will be conducting interviews after we review all applications from the application stage. Once all of the interviews have been completed, we will be announcing and accepting those who passed the interview stage at the same time. We have also made a few adjustments to who will be reviewing applications and interviews. 

As always, we are looking for feedback regarding these changes and will be available to chat over on our Discord which can be found here. All of these changes are not final and may be adjusted or removed over the next few weeks. We hope to see you on the server for our first UHC game back which will be today at 7:00 PM EST.

Staff Applications have reopened. More information can be found here.

In preparation for our upcoming release, we will not be allowing staff applications to be submitted until further notice to allow us to make some much-needed changes to the application and interview process. We hope to have these changes finalized and applications re-opened later next week. We will be posting a follow-up announcement when we re-open these applications.

Hello NightShade community! Staff applications are open to both hosts and moderators. We are doing a huge acceptance spree to people who really deserve it and put huge effort into their application. We are also looking for moderators and/or hosts who are bilingual, preferably speaking and understanding both English and Spanish. Thanks for reading this, and good luck to your application!

Hello members of the NightShade community! If you are to make an appeal on the forums, please know that you have to follow the format in order to appeal or we will instantly deny your appeal if so. Always make sure to be honest when appealing, and specify why you think you should be unbanned.
Format:

What was the reason you got banned for?

Do you admit to whatever you got punished with?

Is this punishment unfair?

What type of punishment was it?

If you think this is false, explain why. Add proof if possible as well.

Who punished you?

Why should you get unbanned?
