What Kazzymodus has said. The Staff Application section is setup where you can only see your own thread (Which is necessary considering they are asking you to share Sensitive Personal Information about yourself). There's no way of knowing for Regular Users how many other people have also applied, and it's very likely there are already several Applications at this point.

Wait so how have 10 people viewed it?
 
Wait, so is there a deadline for when the applications close, and if/when they are closed, will we get responses on our applications?

Good day, Terrarians!

It is so hard to believe that our beloved Terraria Community Forums is coming up on two years old! In that time, we have seen the build up to and eventual launch of Terraria 1.3, the subsequent 1.3.1 update, the release of Terraria on the Nintendo 3DS, and much more! We hope you will join us in our strong belief that this is just the beginning of what is possible for this community and the future of both Terraria and Re-Logic. As we head toward Year Three, we are looking forward to a healthy TCF, excited to watch it grow even more as we receive a boost in members in the near future.

With all of these events going on, we do recognize that there will be a near-term need for additional people to help out - thus, we are going to be conducting a fresh round of moderator applications! With the possible surge of new activity, and slight coverage gaps, we're hoping to select a small amount of people to assist us on the forum staff.

Below, you will find the process for applying to be a moderator. It is much the same as before, with some improvements based upon learning from any shortcomings from the last time. So, if you have passion for the community and a desire to make the earnest commitment to volunteer to help, we are looking forward to seeing you toss your hat into the ring!

As always, if you have any questions, a TCF staff member should be able to address them.

Thanks as always for your support!

In addition to ramping up in general, we are still seeking to fill a few gaps as best we can on TCF. Since our last application period, we are seeking to supplement our team in two areas: early morning coverage and the Mobile version of Terraria.

- Morning Coverage: The times were are looking for are from approximately 1 AM to 6 AM PST (or 4 AM to 9 AM EST). This would mean that prospective moderators whose timezone or availability favors this time slot would definitely be given increased consideration.

- Mobile Terraria: Very few of our team have much experience with the Mobile version, and we would like to be able to support the Mobile section of the website more effectively by bringing on team members with considerable Mobile experience. Things we would be looking for include:
  • Owning the Mobile version on one or more platforms (iOS/Android/Amazon/Windows Phone or Tablet)
  • Having played the Mobile version enough to have a good understanding of it and what distinguishes it from PC/Console
  • An awareness of some of the issues, bugs, and news regarding the Mobile version on all Mobile platforms

These two areas will be given extra weight when deciding between potential applicants, but rest assured, fulfilling these two criteria will not be required for consideration.

In addition to these special categories, below are a few general qualifications that you should expect to uphold if applying, and especially if selected to be part of the TCF team. For more information about the moderator selection process, visit the User Guide's "Staffing Process" section.
  • It should go without saying that any applicants will be expected to abide by the Staff Expectations, and probably already do follow any part of it that can be applied while being a non-staff member.
  • Have an account here on TCF within good standing: either no warning points acquired, or if warning points have been acquired, reformation of inappropriate behaviors has been shown for a significant amount of time.
  • Have been a member of TCF for at least four months. This is primarily to give us a track record through which we can observe past behavior.
  • Have a good command of the English language and be comfortable communicating in English.
  • A general desire to support Re-Logic, the Terraria franchise, and a positive community experience.
  • A generally positive attitude and an overall desire to help other members and the community at large.
  • NOTE: All TCF Staff are required to sign a Re-Logic NDA. This is to allow for full Dev-Staff interaction while protecting Re-Logic Intellectual Property.

Below is the simple application we are asking each applicant to fill out by creating a thread in our Staffing Application Section with the answers to the following questions posted in the first post. You will only be able to see your own application thread, so if the section appears empty, all is working as intended.

Please note that if you edit your application at any time, this will not necessarily be apparent to us; if you decide to make edits after the first day or so, please make a second post in your thread alerting us to this fact.

We do not have a definite timeline for final decisions around this, but we will say that we expect to add 2-5 new team members through this process. The number selected will depend on the pool of qualified candidates.

Please do not PM the TCF staff or the development team with your application or for assistance generating it. If you have any questions about the process, we would ask that you post them here unless they are of a sensitive nature (in which case you can make an additional post in your application).​

  2. What platforms do you own and play Terraria on?
  3. What hours/periods per day are you usually online/available to moderate? Please provide your timezone.

Can you add yo-yo and Martin madness and other of and console things to mobile? It would be highly appreciated
 
As a former Moderator/Administrator (of other communities): I anticipate your faces when you realize being a mod is dirty, dirty and thankless work. And you shall remember this: People are horrible. Customers, users and so on can and will ruin your day. Thus, you shall look upon Moderators, Janitors, Cashiers and such in a new light, and maybe, feel respectful for their patience and ability to stay calm about it.

Oh? Dont mind me, go ahead and apply. :3

I have just did it. It can be a frustrating job, but I think it's worth trying your luck. After all, interacting with people is a great way to obtain some good personal skills...

Anyways, good luck to everyone who applied!

Is there any hope of 3DS Terraria ever being upgraded to version 1.3?

This is not the right thread to be asking these questions, but to answer you: Not at the moment, you will have to wait before plans are announced for the that.
 
I would apply for the status, just I don't think that my parents would agree and sign the NDA for me if I did get picked, and even though I'm good at keeping secrets, I'm not really ready to have another heartbreaking sadness just yet. I hope I can apply next time though when I'm older! :happy: Good luck to everyone who applied though! (Besides, I have grade 8 coming on at a new school plus the preIB test so I don't think I would have enough time in middle and high school.)
