Players that are being considered go under review by the GMs and, if the consensus is positive, the player may be offered the position if the server they play on could use more support. The Head GM makes the final decision on whether a payer is offered the CM role.
== Spotting a fake CM ==
The entire staff (except CAs) are immune to the /ignore command. As a good practice, if someone contacts you claiming to be a CM, immediately issue a /ignore on their name. Issuing /ignore Oracle in chat results in "You may not ignore Oracle." and thus is a trusted person to talk to. Another way is to attempt to give the person a negative reputation in a settlement, the game will tell you:"please make sure that <staffmember name> is a normal player."
