    Lots of new Admins

    I've been noticing lots of new applications for admins on the servers, especially people who play the escape and napalm servers and whatnot. I don't know any of the say, last 6 to 8 admins that have been applying or approved. I can't comment on their admin apps if I have a problem since I am not an admin, and I am not gonna bother pm'ing someone over it. I especially feel it weird when people who get approved but seems that no AO's, BD's or more senior SA's don't know them, or have never met them. I know people have done it in the past, but it seems to be getting more common now. I just feel people should be more involved in the community before they apply and get approved for admin and they haven't really gone around on the other community servers or know many people. Any comments? Am I the only one who thinks this?

    I think the price should be brought up a bit. Only the more serious admins will apply, with a $15 or so price.

    I don't know that price would really affect it, since some have their parents paying for it anyways.

    Raise the prices for incoming new admins. Up to the original price.

    I am one of the new admins, but i think i was active on the forums and servers before i even thought about applying for admin. And i think i got alot of support from people.

    But i would say the requirements do need to be a bit more stiff. I would leave it at $10 a month tho. I might be 29 and Married, but every penny counts when i have a 5 month old and a house and 2 cars to pay for. And i am sure others are in the same boat.

    Maybe make the age to be a admin higher, and you have to have atleast 10-20 people say yes to you, and 80% or 90% of thoes need to be Admins and not just regs.

    And i have noticed the past 3 or 4 apps where their first post ever on this site. I would say thats a big no from the start. I had more then 20 post before i did a app. If you play on the server as a reg but never been to this site. Well that tells me you are not that serious about this community, and should not be able to apply.


    But that's just my 2 cents.

    I don't know really. Well I understand your concern about having admins who isn't really a part of the community, but when I wanted to apply for admin I didn't really knew anyone important, since I'd never seen anyone on the UK Escape server, even though I'd played there for about 3 months. Well, sure I saw Paul, Enzo and even Henda sometimes and tried to have a little chat with them, but I never really got to play with any of them for long.

    So I think part of the problem is the lack of admins on the UK server, which means that UK players doesn't get to know people of the ZM community very well. Well I tried to play on the napalm and the VIP escape as well, but when you have a latency which is about 140, you glitch out easily and things is just uncomfortably slow while you play.

    - So now you just see a bunch of people from the UK server applying for admin, people that most of you US guys have never seen
