Refresh with new Citizen promotion info, part 2

	== Promotion ==		== Promotion ==
	~~Earning promotion on~~ Cubic Worlds is ~~not a straightforward process~~. We ~~take into account several things, including:~~		Promotion within Cubic Worlds is mostly handled by Zolyx and in some cases by the server's Moderators. We want everyone to be able to play the game without hitting barriers and so there are very few perks that come with promotion. You should avoid making advancing through the ranks your main goal, and instead concentrate on simply enjoying your time building in CW and getting involved in our community!
	* How active you are on the ~~server~~
	* The quality of the things you build
	* Your maturity and ~~behaviour~~ in ~~chat~~ and in ~~the world~~
	* Your willingness to help others directly or indirectly

	~~That said~~, ~~there are~~ some ~~time limit requirements that must be fulfilled before you become eligible for promotion~~ to ~~certain ranks.~~		=== Promotion to Citizen ===
	* ~~Citizens~~ are ~~picked from Members who~~ have ~~been on the server for~~ at least ~~7 days~~		The question that our Members ask most often is "How do I become a Citizen?". Well, we use some simple guidelines to find out who is due to get their Citizenship:
	* ~~Officers are picked from Citizens who~~ have been ~~on the server~~ for ~~at least 1 month~~		* You are a Member in good standing with no unresolved Courtroom cases against you
	* ~~Moderators are picked from Officers who~~ have been on the server ~~for at least 2 months~~		* You have built, or helped to build, at least one house, shop, or other construction of reasonable size (i.e. not just a 3x3 dirt hovel)
			* You have been a Member for a minimum of 3 months
			* You have been visibly active on the server during your time as a Member

	~~In addition, unless special circumstances dictate otherwise, no player may be promoted more than one step in a single week. It should also~~ be ~~noted - especially now - that unless extra help is needed in staff, the odds of being~~ promoted ~~past~~ the Citizen ~~level are very slim. Do not expect there to be any promotions unless there is a sizable gap in Staffer ranks~~.		If you meet all of these criteria then you will be promoted at the next ''Citizen Day''.

	~~If all of those~~ criteria ~~have been met you may~~ be ~~promoted when~~ a suitable ~~staff member next sees you online~~. ~~However, it is worth keeping in mind~~ that ~~Cubic Worlds ranks are not designed~~ to ~~give you huge in~~-~~game benefits - a Member~~ can ~~build something just as effectively as a Moderator. In short~~, ~~getting promoted shouldn~~'t be ~~your life goal.~~ Have patience and ~~enjoy~~ your time on the server ~~and you will be rewarded in due course!~~		A ''Citizen Day'' is held every fortnight during a weekend, generally before or after the advertised weekend event, so that the latest player or players to meet the Citizen promotion criteria can be duly congratulated and a suitable celebration thrown for them!

			=== Promotion to Staff ===
			New staffers are picked from Citizens who have been recognised by staff as having contributed significantly towards the server, and who have their right attitude for the job. And make no mistake - becoming staff is not the bed of roses you might imagine it to be!

			Citizens who wish to progress into staff must:
			* Have a good grasp of written English
			* Be able to exercise patience when dealing with inexperienced Minecrafters
			* Act maturely, fairly, and without personal bias at all times
			* Be willing to sacrifice your own playing time in order to carry out staffer duties
			* Understand and accept the [[Staff Policy]] governing the use of staffer powers

			Promotions into staff are handled exclusively by the server's main Operator who acts as Chief of Staff. Currently this is Zolyx.

			Even though you may feel that you meet all of the staff criteria above, we do not promote new Officers unless we feel that we need additonal staff coverage based on how active the server currently is.
