This helps ensure the role is filled by players who consistently demonstrate maturity, reliability, creativity, and a positive impact on the community. Because Community Council members help organize official server activities and represent AugustaMC publicly during events, staff selection allows the team to evaluate a player's behavior, communication, consistency, teamwork, and overall trustworthiness over time. The selection process is intended to: * Prevent popularity contests or favoritism * Ensure active and dependable members are chosen * Maintain professionalism within the role * Protect the quality and consistency of server events * Select players who genuinely care about community improvement Staff may observe players over extended periods before considering them for the role. Consistent positivity, engagement, initiative, and healthy interactions with others are often the biggest factors in being selected. ### Requirements Applicants should generally: * Be active within the community * Demonstrate maturity * Have positive interactions with players * Show creativity and teamwork * Be capable of organizing activities * Understand AugustaMC rules and culture Previous staffing experience is not required. *** ### Selection Process Applications may include: * Basic player information * Activity history * Event ideas * Past community contributions * Availability * Why they want the role Applicants may also be interviewed by staff. *** ## Removal From The Role Community Council members may be removed for: * Extended inactivity * Toxic behavior * Abuse of permissions * Repeated rule violations * Lack of participation * Damaging the community environment * Misrepresentation of staff decisions Removal decisions are handled by server administration. ## Expectations ### Activity Community Council members should remain reasonably active within: * Minecraft server activity * Discord participation * Event planning discussions * Community engagement Long periods of inactivity without notice may result in removal from the role. *** ### Professionalism Council members represent AugustaMC publicly and are expected to: * Treat players respectfully * Avoid unnecessary drama or conflict * Handle criticism maturely * Maintain a positive attitude * Follow all server rules * Avoid abuse of any permissions or influence Even outside official events, members should conduct themselves responsibly. *** ### Creativity & Initiative The Community Council role thrives on creativity.
