Ive noticed that Loads of people apply for op (me included ). And I noticed nearly everyone who plays the server applys, even the newcomers (not that theres anything wrong with it). But personally I think there should be some sort of Requirments/Regulations on applying such as:

You need to have been on the server a certain amount of days/weeks
or
You need to know your way around the towns and be social with people.

Just a thought.

Yes, this suggestion is totally stupid (Sorry not meaning to cause offence )  But an application is applying for something, there is no requirements to apply for a job, but there is to actually get the job, so same with this, if your application is ****, you wont become an OP.
