Mod apps are officially open! We will be accepting applications until Sunday, May 21st, 11:59 HP time.


 


Modding on HP is a great opportunity for anyone who wants to become more involved with the game, and has a strong sense of organization and helping things to run smoothly! As well as the fun stuff, like getting to help design new features and events by going input and bug testing, as well as running contests for everyone to participate in!


 


Mods enforce the rules of the game, to make sure that everyone in the community is playing fairly, but are also community leaders. Players come to mods when they need help with all sorts of things, and often mods are the first face a newbie sees when they join! HP's mod team is a tight-knit group, and most of the team is friends outside of HP, which means that we are able to work as a cohesive unit when it comes to all sorts of issues, or running events for the game!


 


Requirements


 


  • To apply you MUST be at least 18 years of age (or a legal adult in your place of residence).


  • You must be willing to sign a legally-binding non-disclosure agreement.


  • You must be upgraded.


  • All mods must CURRENTLY be actively playing the game, and preferably have been actively playing for a consecutive 6 months.


     


    Part of being a moderator is being a community leader, and staying active on the game, so for that reason we have minimum activity thresholds set in order to be considered active enough to remain on the mod squad once you've been accepted. They are (all numbers per MONTH):


  • 350 chat lines


  • 35 HP forum posts


  • 20 mod forum posts


  • 9 outbound messages to players (including, but not limited to: welcoming new players (or returning players), any issues that need to be fixed, helping a player with anything they need, etc.)


     


    These aren't intended to be like a monthly quota, but instead they are the average numbers of what active players and mods of the game regularly get. There are exemptions and lots of options for alternatives (as well as a rewards system for reaching stats), because we know you're busy, and we know not everyone plays the same! But we're putting these numbers out there, so that all potential applicants know what they're getting into.


     


    Note: We do a lot of our mod communication over Facebook messenger. Regularly using messenger, or using it at all, is not a requirement to mod, but it helps a lot.


     


    Application


     


    APPLICATION FORM:


    Real Name, HP Name, HP ID Number:


    Where are you from?


    Timezone:


    Are you at least 18 AND the age of majority in your place of residence?


    How old are you?


    Will you be willing to sign a legally binding non-disclosure agreement?


     


    HP QUESTIONS:


    How long have you been actively playing HP?


    Why do you think you would be a good mod?


    Do you have any previous modding or management experience?


    How often are you on HP and for how long are you on at one time?


    Would you say that you are active in the HP community? Please elaborate! 


    Briefly describe your personality.


    In your opinion, what does being a mod mean?


    How do you normally handle frustration?


    Are you comfortable using Facebook messenger for mod-related communications?


     


    SCENARIOS:


    In a situation where there is a player behavior emergency and you're the only mod online, what would you do?


    If a player is constantly disrespectful to you, and you cannot get through to them, how would you handle it?


    If you find out that a player is breaking a rule, but you can't "prove it", what do you do?


    If you warn a player, and they are very angry about the warning and not responsive about fixing the issue, how would you handle it?


     


    Please fill this out and get it back to me through messages on account #1 or email to admin@horsephenomena.com as soon as you can! I look forward to reading your applications!


     


    Please let me know if you have any questions!
