Before you apply to be an admin, you must review this checklist to ensure you’re qualified to apply and that you understand the requirements for being an admin. If you ignore this pre-application checklist and apply even though you’re clearly ineligible, your application will be denied and if you spam applications (see para 16), you’ll be subject to forum sanctions.

If you were a former Total Freedom admin, stop and fill out this application instead:
https://forum.totalfreedom.me/d/2961-totalfreedom-community-guidelines
You must memorize the server conduct protocols at https://forum.totalfreedom.me/d/7-server-conduct-policy
Your forum account must be a minimum of 1 Calendar Month old prior to you making your application.
In order to apply for administrator status, we encourage at least 1 Admin or Senior admin recommendation, however the recommendation is ultimately optional. If you have no recommendations, you can post a message in Admin Information asking for a recommendation via PM but you may only post such a request once per month, and do not PM requests to admins asking for recommendations. If you’re unable to get a recommendation, we recommend you attempt to be more helpful. If you ask an admin how to apply for admin and they tell you how, that is NOT a recommendation or a direction to apply.

Note 1: If during the application process, the recommending admin loses status, the recommendation will normally still count provided the recommending admin didn’t lose status for misconduct. The executive admin will make the final determination for each case that arises.

In becoming an admin and a rule enforcer, you are at increased risk of DDOS/DOX and hacking by griefers who might not appreciate you enforcing the rules. For more info about DDOS, see http://www.totalfreedom.boards.net/thread/4410/response-attacks-blocking-skype-resolvers and if you don’t know what DDOS is, please view http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OhA9PAfkJ10 and for DOX, view http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BhwY7YgcQ9o. As an admin, you must be more vigilant when it comes to computer security. Ensure all your account passwords (Minecraft, Forum, Email, etc.) are strong and NEVER use the same password for any given account. Ensure your PC/Mac has been thoroughly secured and cleaned of any malware and be extremely cautious when clicking on links that you might get in email, Skype, etc. If you do get hacked, you’ll be responsible to notify us and take proper security steps to overcome it. If you don’t wish to accept the security risk or are not capable/willing to practice high levels of security, you should not apply.

The privileges of being an admin are assigned to both your Minecraft account name and the connection that you to access the Internet (your IP address) along with forum account confirmation. If you allow others to use your Minecraft account, forum account, or you use a public VPN, hotspot or proxy, or there are others (e.g. family members) that might use your Internet connection, you will be suspended and likely banned if your Minecraft account or IPs are used to violate server/forum conduct rules or abuse admin privileges. Excuses such as my bro or sis did it won’t be accepted.
You must handle being an admin without it negatively affecting your school grades, your employment, your family, and your mental or physical health, etc.
Admins are held to a higher standard of conduct than OPs, and notably includes conduct off-server as well on-server. For example, please review https://forum.totalfreedom.me/d/300-admin-conduct-outside-of-totalfreedom
Do NOT include any personal information such as real names, addresses (physical or e-mail), telephone numbers, age, and so forth in your application.
If you file an application with false information or copy somebody else’s application, you’ll be subject to forum sanctions, as well as an additional waiting period of at least 45 days.
DO NOT post any comment messages to your application until after the application is approved or disapproved. If an admin asks you a direct question, you should reply. If an admin objects and give reasons that you believe are incorrect, you may reply to state why you believe the reasons are incorrect and nothing more; do not rage or get dramatic - just state facts. Please note that admin applications last 2 weeks.
Ensure you answer the application in English and try to use the best possible grammar minus slang and profanity.
Please ensure you have a personalized avatar for your forum profile - you’ll be asked to add one if you neglect this.
The time until you can post an application depends on the reason you were denied. You will be told when you can apply again.
1. Not meet the requirements - 15 days.
2. Not being deemed qualified - 30 days.
3. Having lied on your application - minimum 45 days.
4. Having plagiarised your application - minimum 90 days.
  
  The latter two will be at the Admin Officer’s discretion and may change depending on what was lied about/copied.
You are now ready to fill out the application per the template at https://forum.totalfreedom.me/d/45-admin-application-template
