Escalated Put stress on minimum requirements

[Priley]

Introduction

There are quite a lot of people who are applying for helper despite not meeting any of the minimum requirements. The majority here of the people - myself included - make fun of these members because they clearly haven't read the helper application thread closely.

Though let's be real, look at this image for a single second and try to spot the minimum requirements
(Spoiler: you can't - except if you're the ultimate wannabe and have read this form a zillion times)

The minimum requirements can be found under "What do we look for in an application?", next to "commitment". Even though the minimum requirements are completely relevant to commitment, they should be something that readers notice within an instant, instead of them being hidden like this.

What am I suggesting?

If it's not obvious already: emphasise the minimum requirements and make sure applicants just cannot miss them. What I have prepared below is how I personally imagine it'd work

Ngl, I don’t think it’ll stop a lot of people from applying but it’s worth a shot (Most people don’t read it).

Precisely. Even if this would only decrease the number of low-quality applications by a few, it has still worked

Not a bad idea, would certainly help to reduce no-effort applications. +1

This could be helpful for the staff recruitment team haha. It could save them a dozen of applications. I would say like @Keanu that it is worth trying.

As mentioned above, this could help the staff recruitment team a lot and avoid more unnecessary applications.

Another thing they could do is edit the Google form doc to include the following question:
"Do you meet the minimum requirements? (100 forum posts, 50 accepted reports, activity of 3 months or more)"
But yea, your idea is cool too. I'll vote no because I'm bored, not like it matters, got escalated anyway

Sure, it would be nice to make the minimum requirements more visible on the thread.
Though, if I need to be honest, I don't think that this would reduce the amount of players applying without meeting the requirements. The minimum requirements are even written in the description of the Google form. That being said, they ignore what is written on the Google form that they need to fill out in order to apply, let alone pay attention to the helper app thread. :P

Spotted the requirements straight away by the underlined text, if people can't be bothered to read that then they shouldn't be accepted, if they need to make it more simple than it already is then those people shouldn't be staff
