[Solved]Promotions

Saying it is absolutely not at all a gateway to Moderator is just a load of shit.
Barely any teacher applications are made because they'd forever want to remain as a Teacher on the community.
I'd say about 80% of Teacher applicants have applied to have a better chance at getting promoted to Moderator.

No, not all Teachers get promoted to Moderator after a certain timespan.
But it'd be a straight up lie to say it doesn't increase your chances, because it does.

It was a pretty major concern for staff at a certain stage that it was obvious.
Majority of the community figured Teacher was a gateway to Mod, simply because we've promoted so many Teachers to Mod so far.

As much as you say it increases your chances of becoming a moderator, you know yourself that it's because teachers get noticed more as we have to look at what they are doing. As you say, it's not a gateway to becoming staff, but staff members just tend to notice teachers behavior more than normal players.  It works the other way around too, you may be an excellent teacher but you won't be considered as staff material, however, if you had never been a teacher you could've been considered for a promotion. 

A normal user has just as fine odds of becoming a moderator as a teacher do, if you know your shit and help people when they need help, you're more likely to be promoted. 
If you are the quiet guy that roleplay by yourself and never interacts with other people your chances of being promoted is slim. 

Good hints for being promoted?  Be yourself, don't try to change your personality. If you get promoted you get promoted, if you don't then let it be. 


And as of teachers being promoted, true, quite a few of our staff members was teachers before being promoted. We're also quite a few people who've never been teachers before.
