RANKS ROLES
Community Manager (CM)
CM plays the most responsible role in N7S community. Their task is to establish friendly environment for all users. To enforce rules if they are being broken. CM has full access to N7S Discord server administration as well as N7S website. Even if no name alteration is required, they must possess the characteristics of N7S role (see bellow). CM monitors, builds, grows, and interacts with entire community. They are to engage in conversations with all users when their assistance is required.
CM becomes the authorized voice of the community. If you want to join CM team, contact any of the current CM members. They can be easily found in our Discord roster on the top.
N7S Rank
by showing these characteristics:
1) Love Mass Effect as a whole, particularly the multiplayer. Claiming so does not make it true.
This needs to be felt by other N7S members. So it takes usually a month of active interaction with our community. Remember that our community has no requirements and that by choosing to connect yourself closer with us is your own desire to do so.
2) During this period, the individual needs to demonstrate a desire to help the community in any number of ways. This means being active and available to assist new or less skilled players, sharing the benefit of their experience by answering questions, helping N7S community grow by promoting or inviting friends, and possessing the level of skill and experience needed to assist others to complete N7S activities or helping them earn credits for their manifest.
3) Your actions will be observed by others in N7S rank, and if your have completed
N7SG, and willing to change your discord name/nickname and your platform account so that you can add -N7S tag at the end of your username, you will be invited by another N7S user to join N7S via Discord role, and be officially acknowledged by the N7S community as someone who showed their dedication to the community in activity and skill, but first and foremost in what kind of person you were to others. Once N7S rank is acquired, it persist forever, even upon your inactivity. You can lose N7S status only by breaking community rules or stating you no longer wish to be one. N7S do not apply to join, they are being chosen. Even if N7S does not equal Community Manager (CM), if a N7S gives you a hint, you should take it. They have needed Discord privileges to act as sentinels (if they chose so) in N7S community when a CM is not available. By wearing -N7S tag at the end of your name, you proudly represent the symbol of our community in any path you walk.
