Please read the following before posting your application. If you do not post your application in the correct place or using the correct format, your application may be delayed or denied! The required format and template are located below.

All PropHunt applications should be posted under the applications section. Users can only see applications that they have submitted, so this page may appear blank if you don't have an active application.

Guidelines and Requirements

A few things to keep in mind before posting an application:

• The more thorough your answers, the more likely your application will be accepted. Being overly verbose just for the sake of being verbose is not recommended.
  
• You can only have one application open at a time. You cannot apply for multiple servers at the same time.
  
• You must be 15 years of age or older to apply for staff on the server. Any applicant who applies under the age of 15 will be denied. Lying about your age on an application could result in a network ban.
  
• You must have over 75 hours of playtime on the game you are applying for. You must have over 5 hours of playtime on the server you are applying for. While these are the minimum requirements, more experienced players with more playtime in either of these categories will be more likely to be accepted.
  
• You must have your Steam profile set to public or friends only before submitting your application.
  
• You must have access to a microphone. You aren't required to use it in-game (though it is recommended) but you have to have a microphone available for staff training if accepted.
  
• Anyone who is banned from the server they are applying for cannot apply for staff while banned.
  
• Anyone who has been denied 3 or more times consecutively cannot apply for staff.
  
• You must be a member of the steam group, discord server, and support discord before applying for staff.

What is a network ban?

A network ban is a term used for any ban that results in the simultaneous removal of access to the entire network. A network ban has several important characteristics. For one, it can only be enforced by a Network Manager or the Owner, no other staff member can implement a network ban. A player may only submit a network ban appeal twice. This limit applies to future network bans as well. An appeal can only be submitted 30 days after the network ban takes effect. You must contact the network owner first to initiate a network ban appeal.

What can get my account network banned and how do I avoid it?

Network bans have specific rules that must be violated for a network ban to apply. Here is a generalized list.

1. Causing drama to harm the network. (Basically, use common sense.)
   
2. Committing fraud against the network. (Deals with charge-back without contacting the network owner. This is explained in the Smithtainment Gaming TOS which can also be read in this section.)
   
3. Intentional accessory to a network-banned individual. (If you assist in an action that gets someone network banned, you can be network banned as well. It also covers hiding or intentionally withholding information that would result in a valid network ban. Example: If you know your friend is doing something network bannable you can get network banned as well).
   
4. Evading a network ban. (If you are network banned, don’t rejoin. Evading a network ban drastically decreases your chances of being accepted. Wait 30 days, then appeal it.)
   
5. Excessive exploitation of bugs. (Anything that pertains to abusing game mode mechanics or utilizing pointshop to cheat in items, while not reporting it to a network developer. Does not include non-serious abuse of mechanics like unstuck abuse, prop surfing, etc. If you find a bug, report it to a developer by making a ticket here.)
   
6. Violating the network terms of service. (Read the network terms of service and use common sense).
   
7. Doing anything that causes harm or endangerment toward staff, players, or the network as a whole. (Disrespect, child pornography, scamming, hacking, pedophilia, cat phishing, doxxing, DDoS Threats/DDoS, handing out viruses, blackmail, and lying on a ban appeal all belong in this category. This is not limited to just these actions and can be expanded if need be. Therefore, use common sense.)
   

1. Advertising an unaffiliated server, website, or network on two or more servers. (Any message with an IP or link to any other gaming network, without owner consent, applies here. This also applies to discord server links as well. Does not apply to social media links within reason.)
   
2. Repeating an offense that resulted in a ban on two or more servers.
   
3. Evading a server ban. (If you evade a server ban on either an alternate account or a friend’s account, you will be banned. Appeal your ban first before connecting).
