Status: Open

We seek professional, team-oriented, motivated, self-assured individuals to join our staff who possess strong communication skills, the capacity to ask questions or request further information when necessary, and who are familiar with the rules and regulations of Wolfhome.

Applicants should keep in mind that becoming a staff member on any Chatland shell is not merely about ensuring the chat is secure and safe. As members of the Wolfhome staff, we collaborate on many different topics and strive to find suitable solutions before completing projects and other tasks. All perspectives are accepted and respected, and we strongly encourage every staff member to voice their opinion on all relevant matters before progressing. It is essential to be familiar with our forum's navigation and usage as this is where we handle works in progress, deliberations, and reports.

Upon joining our team as an Apprentice, your main objective will be to successfully complete your training course of 3 weeks. You will receive a guide that explains how to become better familiar with our policies, a link to the Admin Handbook & Code of Conduct to look over and sign, an invitation to the Staff Training Discord, the names of your mentors, and the details of your training course. Your training will mainly consist of scenarios to practice with and questions to answer, which will help you grasp the way our write-ups are formatted and is designed to teach you how to navigate the administrative boards. Additionally, you will observe your mentors and other administrators while participating in various discussions and learn how to properly use our chat's moderating tools.

As an Apprentice, you will not be dealing with live reports until your training period has been completed. Please note that if no other administrators are available, you will be asked to refrain from using your main account and encouraged to use an alternative until someone becomes available for you to shadow. This is to ensure that you do not receive any live reports prematurely. You will be expected to forward any live reports to an Available Administrator ASAP or ping them in the Staff Training Discord.


As an Apprentice, you will be expected to:
Sign the Administrator Code of Conduct
Review the Administrator Handbook
Join the Staff Training Discord server
Answer at least four training questions and complete at least 10 training scenarios within 3 weeks
Keep up to date on current discussions within the administrative boards & share your perspective
Use alternative accounts when mentors or administrators are offline, forwarding any reports you may receive
Practice how to remove idle members from the chat using different methods

Hello everyone! We have re-worked the application and training process for staff applicants!

We relied heavily on recent applicant feedback and realized that there was still a huge space for improvement. We were inspired by past staff members and the effort they put forth to make some lovely resources for both mentors and their apprentices. We wanted to take extra time to create more content like pre-made quizzes, screen-share prompts, as well as scenario correction prompts. We also updated visual diagrams that were created in the past so that they are less confusing and easier to understand.

We have already shared the introduction to the Application Trackers, which was inspired by Baetyl. With adding this role, we wanted to encourage our applicants to ask questions regarding the status of their application, general questions of "what to expect", as well as what comes next.

We have also minimized how much information is thrown at Apprentices upon receiving their welcome message once promoted to apprentice. We have aimed to lessen the overwhelming feeling and give them time to get settled in before official training starts. You will now be given in depth walk-throughs regarding how to format a correct write up, as well as given complete explanations on the added private forum boards regarding what each is for and what is typically posted & discussed within them. After being shown what is expected and how things are done, you will then be tested on your knowledge with mock scenarios that are commonly seen while on chat. If we take notice you are struggling, we have a variety of new resources to guide you to success.

Training will now be extended to 3 weeks with an additional 1 week, if needed. Whereas previously you were given 2 weeks for completion, with an additional 1 week if needed.

With all of that being said, Staff applications are now OPEN.

We are looking for 2-3 members to bring onto the team who are; determined, friendly, passionate, receptive, respectable and eager to learn. Those who are in a good mental place that can easily take constructive criticism while working within a close nit team! We are eager to bring new members onto our team who are wanting to help out with our current and new projects underway, and those who have a basic understanding for our forums including navigating through them! In addition, we are looking for individuals with availability to be actively on chat during evening hours.
