Staff Roles on Hogwarts

So, you want to help out on the Hogwarts side of Knockturn, great! We’re always looking for new dedicated people to work alongside us! However, depending on the role, there are requirements to be accepted.

Where do I apply?

Please go to discourse.knockturnmc.com, and create an account if you do not have one yet. Then locate ‘Staff Applications’, create a New Topic, and fill it out according to the format it gives you. Make sure the topic line is correctly done!!

What are the basic requirements?

  • MOST, but not all roles require you to be a 2nd year student on Hogwarts. This is to weed out people who would only work for a week or two then quit the server entirely.

  • A good standing. This means you do not have a reputation for causing trouble. Staff are given special perms and a layer of trust, and we need to know the people working for the server aren’t going to sabotage our efforts instead.

  • Age requirement? There are a small selection of roles that have an age requirement. The exact value is not known.
