Hello Supers, Seniors and Telnets
I would just like to say that over the past month that i've been Super, I've seen many Telnet apps, some have been approved and some have not, but over that month I've seen a few things that I think any super applying for Telnet should watch out for
#1: Apply when you think your ready
From what I've seen over the past month, is people applying as soon as they possibly can, this is fine, but if you wait a little and get a bit more experienced with commands and learning about Telnet, you'll have a mich higher chance of getting it. My advice would be to apply when you think your ready, I say that you shouldn't apply as soon as you possibly can, wait 1-2 months before applying. This can of course get you more experience, but it can also help you to get to know other admins, maybe even get them to like you more, which will give you a much higher chance of getting Telnet.
#2: Make sure you know what you're doing
I've also seen some people apply, who have absolutely no idea what Telnet is and what the point of it is. My advice would be to look at the videos and posts that Mark and Madgeek have put up and get to know what you'll be doing as Telnet. Don't just jump right into the application, get accepted and have absolutely no idea what you're doing, it will ruin your reputation and you might have a chance of losing your position because of it. So in all, study what you have to do, And make sure that if you get it, you know what you're doing.
#3: Know the responsibility
Make sure that as Telnet, you're ready to take on the responsibility, It is a much larger responsibility than Super Admin and can be very tough at times, but before you apply, you've got to make sure that you are ready for it, Because if your not, your going to fumble and fall. And this will never be good, under any circumstance.
#4: Make sure that you KNOW it won't get denied straight away
You don't want to apply, be thinking really positive thoughts, go to bed, wake up and find you've got 10 Objections 1 neutral and 0 vouches. Make sure that you know that it own't get denied, this doesn't mean going around spamming "Should I apply" threads, you should know that you will get a good rating from other admins. What can help with this is waiting a bit before applying and getting to know the admins, don't annoy them asking "Can you vouch, Can you vouch?" That will make them want to object even more. Be nice to your fellow admins and help them when they need it, this can get you a much higher chance of getting vouched on your application
