Frequently Asked Questions
What is an administrator?
Administrators are the maintenance and Chat-Police of Outcast Island. They're also know as the staff. They are called Alphas, Betas, and Gammas. The Omega ranks are the administrators in training. Administrators are volunteers to help the chat. They get free subscriptions in thanks for their help.
How do I become an administrator?
First off, don't ask to become one! Currently, staff applications are open. Everyone has the ability to apply, just not everyone is able to have the assets to be one. There are other ways, we look for friendly, patient people to work with. If you show that you can handle responsibility and other assets for being part of the team, we will defiantly inform you.
I don't want to be staff, but I want to help around the community. How can I?
You can donate deltas to the chatlands account, Native, to help out currency wise. The currency is only used for the OI chat! All donations are appreciated! We also have applications for ART, communication, forum, event, and tech teams. Joining these will not give you a rank in administration but you will be helping community wise. Applications are currently open to the ones we're needing, go ahead and look if you're interested. (:

Who do I ask for help when a user is bothering me?
You can contact an admin by either messaging them or whispering to them if they're online. You may contact any of the staff, as they are here to help you. Any questions or concerns are welcome, meaning they answer the simplest questions to the more concerned, they are here to protect you. Though, If you see a rule being broken, report it to us rather than trying to fix the problem on your own. Though if someone is bothering you, you must ask them to stop. If it doesn't, it can count as harassment from the other user. Try to copy and past the logs to show us for proof other than just a decent description! It helps a lot more than you think.
Are we allowed to Role-Play here?
OI was not created for your RP experience, though yes, you are allowed to. You can only do so in private rooms, or the rooms marked with RP on them. If you are caught Role-Playing in an non-RP room, users have the ability to ask you to please move it to one. Though, users do not have the ability to harass you about it. If you catch users role-playing outside an RP room, you may first ask them to move it to one, and if they fail, you may call an admin to solve the problem.
