	<span style="color:#00d166; font-size:14px"><strong>Trainee - Moderator - </strong></span>You don't know free hard work yet but, you will. We cautiously welcome these fantastic people into a service we know is not appreciated but, must be filled. You have to start somewhere. These folks are the runt of the litter, the lowest rung on the pole, the last step on the staircase, and the bottom of the barrel and yet their passion for this little corner of the world burns bright. We expect great things from these members and intend to help guide them with enthusiasm and experience in the best way we know-how. Although rough around the edges these lovely people can still be molded. With a lot on their plate and plenty to learn there is no doubt, they have what it takes if they chose to pursue this goal. We hope to see you soon Good Luck!

		<strong>Let's Get Down to Business - </strong>As a Trainee - Moderator you are considered probationary. This implies that you may not become permanent staff. We remind you that this is not a competition against your peers and will receive no merit for that kind of attitude. We expect you to follow all instructions as given by your provisional team and want to aid you through this process as much as possible. You have quite a bit to learn so please pay attention and be positive and you'll do great.
	</li>
	<li>
		<strong>You may know something but, not everything - </strong>In a staff position you are expected to be able to use your own judgment. This is not a skill we can teach you. It is a skill that must be learned. This will take time. Don't rush yourself and don't assume facts that aren't there. This period should be a time to improve and enhance your people skills from a different perspective. We have to assume you've never been staff before because all communities are different in nature.
	</li>
	<li>
		<strong>Ask Questions - </strong>There are no stupid questions. You are encouraged to ask any and all questions. We can't assume to know what you know and you shouldn't assume to know what we know. Your peers may have a perspective that you didn't think to ask. Your training period is designed to prepare you for a permanent staff role however, that does not guarantee you'll be exposed to every scenario or situation. In this event ask your questions and learn as much as you can.
	</li>
	<li>
		<span style="color:#2ecc71"><strong>Trainee - Moderator Details &amp; Info</strong></span>
		<ul>
			<li>
				<strong>How long is probation? </strong>Probation standard time is set at "1 Month." This period may be extended up to "3 Months" Max. Your graduation to a permanent member of staff is dependent upon your ability to pass a formal review at your supervisor's discretion NO EARLIER than "1 Month" into your trainee period. This review will be held and constructed by our <span style="font-size:14px"><span style="color:#ff3333"><strong>Administrator(s) </strong></span>and <strong><span style="color:#c90054">Senior Administrator(s) </span></strong>This process will consist of a majority vote rule.</span>
			</li>
			<li>
				<strong>How and What can I moderate? </strong>You have all the abilities as a moderator in a supervisory capacity. A member of your peers may contest your decisions with the Administrators at which time can be overruled by a single or all if unable to show valid cause.

		<strong style="color: rgb(230, 126, 34);">ATTENTION - </strong><font color="#e67e22">By applying to be a moderator in training you are not guaranteed a spot on the server you wish to apply for. In the event you are not offered a specialist position within a month of probation you may be removed from the staff.</font>
