I feel as if this could be a good idea, but not for people under 13. For example, if someone wants to run for staff they could be assigned their own mentor to show them how you need to act and all that stuff. But then again, if you just ask a staff member questions they will most likely respond to you.

You just say this because you are still 12 Aloro uwu don't fool us!
but seriously, 13 is a fitting age to be Staff/to Apply, since you *probably* developed enough to handle something like that role on a bigger Server (Manacube isn't Small with 1k+ Players each day since some months) and you have to know how to handle certain situations that is why people always start from Helper to Mod, so they get to know the role and know what they may get into when they Accept to be a Mod, and i am pretty sure even Helper isn't that easy since let's be serious, Manacube is full with toxic ppl most times, and sometimes you can't be sure who to mute/warn maybe even Ban, since the rules are pretty slippy i noticed :P

Also, the staff team has something almost like "Junior Mod", which is helper. Although helpers aren't necessarily under thirteen, they are still being monitored by the higher staff team, until they because more and more trustworthy and become a mod (im not on the staff team, so I'm just guessing that's how it works). I think with the current staff requierments, as Aloro said, that they do leave a lot of room for people that might be younger, but are ready to moderate Manacube.

Personally, I feel if you need to be mentored and have your hand held entirely throughout your time as staff (or even “trial-staff”), you may not be ready yet.
I suppose our requirements could be considered quite vague, but personally I think this leaves a lot of room for the applicants to demonstrate just how good of an applicant they are. People who strive to meet (or better yet, exceed) the requirements, have a good shot at staff. It’s not always guaranteed that you’ll get promoted however, as we take into account multiple things when deciding on helpers.
If we believe an applicant isn’t ready, that means they need to work on something - whether it be activity, helpfulness, their attitude, knowledge, etc. Or simply if they are just too young.
I don’t doubt there are plenty of mature people under the age of 13, but it’s not always like this (Heck! I’m 17 next week, and I know tonnes of people my age that could learn a thing or two from people 5-6 years younger than them!). In rare cases, as Aloro mentioned, we may very well promote someone who is under the age of 13 if we truly believe they’re capable of handling the position.
I again, personally do not see any point in adding in another staff role for players who we don’t think are ready for staff yet. Another thing I’d like to add, is that the Helper Management team are mentors for helpers and new moderators. It is great to hear players opinions on this however :)
