    BukkitDev needs new category icons
    The category icons we currently use on BukkitDev are very vague and generic. We need icons that are distinct, tell you what the category is at a glance, are properly themed and are relatively high quality. If you're a talented graphics artist who specialises in icon creation and has a love for Minecraft, we'd like to give you the opportunity to leave your aesthetic mark within the Bukkit community by helping us put together a well-thought out, visually pleasing and informative set of category icons for BukkitDev.

    Email staff+bukkitart -at- bukkit.org with your applications if you are interested in helping BukkitDev update its style. Please put “Artist Application: ” and then your username in the subject.

    Do I get a lower chance of becoming a moderator if I argue with an already-existing one?

    Err. There's no need to do that. What makes you think it was not seen? If anything spamming applications will not win you over with the people reading them.

    The first I sent was in October of last year, the second one was in January, and the third one was a couple days ago... I have never got a responce declining that I did not make it, it is just really confusing to not know if you guys had seen it or not :s

    We do see the emails. However, I would much prefer to judge based on forum and IRC interactions, as well as based on the quality of their code (depending on the position of course) than reading over applications.

    Also, you must know that we can only bring on so many staff. We have so many fantastic community members to choose from, its hard to narrow down the selection to just a handful.

    Would still be good to know if you got the email or not. Flying blind is not cool.

    If you don't get a reply from your mailing system saying the message failed, it didn't fail. That's how it works for any email address.

    I do understand that this is a very time consuming thing to do, but you should at least send a message when you review it, regardless of wether they got accepted, I it just weird to send an email and feel like it was never seen or reviewed.

    We don't "review" them, as in sit down and check a yes or no box next to each person. If there's a need for staff, those emails will be looked through and possibly someone could be selected from it.

    It never hurts to send an application in, but the thread is very old, so don't expect as much as what was in the original post.

    Is there a preferred age range bukkit has for staff?

    Well, common sense is a factor...
    I'm sure the Bukkit team wouldn't want a 9 year old staff member.
    It would also depend on maturity...

    You shouldn't lie about your age, that's about the only requirement.

    Why you want to be staff: I know the bukkit source fairly well, and love programming as a group with a dedicated and mature team.
    Where are you located: New York (Fairport)
    What timezones can you cover: EST (approx. 3 hours on weekdays, approx. 8 hours on weekends)
    Prior community moderating experience: None
    Any other relevant skills: I am fairly good at Java, despite learning very recently. I can learn most anything at a much faster rate than others. A good example of my knowledge is a plugin coming out soon that I have written. Its called Zombie Ablockalypse, and the source is here: https://github.com/JamesNorris/Ablockalypse It has a built-in API, which means I know how to work with API's, including the Interface-APIs Bukkit uses in the BukkitAPI.
