[READ] Becoming a support moderator

[Perishingflames]

Prospective support mods are to complete the following exercises. Research if necessary then formulate an informative, grammatically-sound response. Make your answers as thorough as possible! Please PM your formal responses to Matan; upon successful completion, you will receive three additional research-based questions and two console.log. You will have to analyze the log and diagnose the problem. If you miss any questions, you will have one opportunity to correct your mistake(s).

Attach with your PM an outline of your specialties/areas of expertise, as these will determine the type of additional research-based questions you will be required to complete. See the example at the bottom of this post.

If you do not pass the interview, you can re-apply in 3 months time. Since questions are random, you may not receive the same speciality questions as you did the first time around.

DO NOT SHARE ANY ANSWERS. Breaking this rule will result in a permaban.

1) I started up MBP but for after a few screens, I just get a black one and can't do anything, but I can hear music!

2) I'm in MBG, trying to play a custom level, but when I open the level it brings me back to the level select screen and shows the following error message: "DISCONNECT Error (Invalid Packet)." HELP!

3) plz help... I downloaded a level and I put in custom but the level is just the start pad, no platforms! There is one platform but it is all white... am I missing something?

4) How do I set my resolution for a bigger size in MBG?

5) I just downloaded MBP for Mac and I followed the resources guide for how to install custom levels but it's not helping! There wasn't a marble folder so I had to create one myself but mbp isn't showing them PLZ HELP!

6) How do I add in a help trigger using just the level editor? I go to Mission Objects>Mission>Trigger and make a help trigger but I don't know how to make it say anything??

7) I have MBP 1.14 and I clicked the LE button but I don't see anything different when I start the level! [Answer for both mac and pc. For bonus points, answer correctly for 1.20.]

Did you not see at the bottom of the post where I specifically said you may not format your responses as poetry or song lyrics?

The beginning kind of confuses me... So we must answer those questions and send the answers to Matan, along with areas of specialty, and in return will receive the additional questions and the consoles?

Only if you pass that first part.
