Everything past this point is only important if you plan to become staff.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________

How to become
Staff
1. Post a total of 20-30 times
2. Message me (comando32) and tell me you wan to join the team
3. You will become a writer for a week (refer to the privilege table further down the page for privilages)
4. If you do good and don't mess up 3 times, you will get promoted to mod
5. Welcome to the team!

How to become

FILTH
1. Be a jerk.
2. Be annoying.
3. Be stupid.
4. Get banned.
5. Try to come back without asking me in my messages (DO NOT EMAIL ME!) or on Wetpaint central (i go there dailly to monitor the current hacker situation) .
never come back by making an alt unless you have apoligized.
BONUS:6. Act like a sad puppy for getting your arse banned for being a jerk.

Filth is when someone comes back with dishonest means. (like altcounts)
The title of filth wears off when your nice again for a few days.

How to become

The Redeemed
1. Be a jerk and/or spammer/flammer/hacker.
2. End up getting banned like a jerk and/or spammer/flammer/hacker.
3 Gather up your maturity .
4. Ask me on BBB if i can unban you/ use an alt to apologize.
5. Me, Bleak, Luigibomb, Johnnygun and Catnip then hold a trial.

Once you are a redeemed member
1. Be nice
2. Don't be annoying
3. Act mature
4. You'll become staff for doing such an honorable thing as this


The redeemed are people who apologize to me on WPC and ask to be unbanned, because they show such maturity, they get special favor in warning count and are the opposite of filth. If they can act nice and everybody agrees, they become staff and get a COH (compliment of honor)

There's only two "redeemed" in mws history.
