2. I've met the necessary requirements for my rank to increase, but I haven't ranked up. Why isn't it working? Your rank will automatically update at the top of the hour (:00).

3. Can I apply for a staff position? Our staff will reach out to you if we are interested in offering you a position. We do not accept requests.
