<br />
All <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Trouble in Terrorist Town </span>appeals should be posted under the <a href="https://forums.smithtainment.com/forumdisplay.php?fid=31" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">appeals section</a>. Users can only see appeals that they have submitted, so this page may appear blank if you don't have an active ban or warn appeal. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b"><span style="text-decoration: underline;" class="mycode_u"><span style="color: #ffdc00;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: large;" class="mycode_size">You should indicate what you are appealing in the title of the appeal (ban. warning, or other penalty).

<span style="font-size: x-large;" class="mycode_size">Guidelines and Requirements</span> <br />
<ul class="mycode_list"><li>When posting an appeal do <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">not </span>be disrespectful towards the staff that warned or banned you. This will result in your appeal being denied. Depending on the severity, violators may lose their ability to appeal future bans or warns on the network.<br />
</li>
<li>Be as honest and sincere as you can. Try to include as much <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">relevant </span>information as possible.<br />
</li>
<li>Don't be afraid to admit your mistakes. A much stronger appeal acknowledges the actions that led up to a ban or warning and demonstrates remorse.<br />
</li>
<li>Do not post a warning appeal if you were banned due to warnings. You should post a ban appeal instead.<br />
</li>
<li>Accepting/denying an appeal is generally under the purview of the server's head administrator. If a donor item/rank is involved, the network owner has the final say.<br />
</li>
<li>Please respond to any staff inquiries or comments. Failure to respond will slow down the appeal process and could lead to automatic denial due to inactivity.<br />

<br />
All <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">PropHunt</span> applications should be posted under the <a href="https://forums.smithtainment.com/forumdisplay.php?fid=29" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">applications section</a>. Users can only see applications that they have submitted, so this page may appear blank if you don't have an active application.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;" class="mycode_size">Guidelines and Requirements</span><br />
<br />
A few things to keep in mind before posting an application:<ul class="mycode_list"><li>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.<br />
</li>
<li>You can only have <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">one application </span>open at a time. You <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">cannot </span>apply for multiple servers at the same time.<br />
</li>
<li>You <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">must </span>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.<br />
</li>
<li>You <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">must </span>have over 75 hours of playtime on the game you are applying for. You <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">must </span>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.<br />
</li>
<li>You <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">must </span>have your Steam profile set to public or friends only before submitting your application.<br />
</li>
<li>You <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">must </span>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.<br />
</li>
<li>Anyone who is banned from the server they are applying for <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">cannot </span>apply for staff while banned. <br />
</li>
<li>Anyone who has been denied 3 or more times consecutively <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">cannot </span>apply for staff.<br />
</li>
<li>You <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">must </span>be a member of the <a href="https://steamcommunity.com/groups/Smithtainment" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">steam group</a>, <a href="https://discord.com/invite/KRAXuZ2" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">discord server</a>, and <a href="https://discord.gg/ThsctMC" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">support discord</a> before applying for staff.<br />
