Let's say a member applies, and get's trial, how would you know you got past your trial other than of course seeing a sign by your name ingame and your name being green?
More market related questions:
Is there any specific rules/errors/goofs that the trials/new members should look out for mostly, in other words, are there any common things that happen a decent amount we should be aware of when moderating? I understand if you can not answer this publicly.
In your honest opinions how active would said applicants need to be in order to have decent chances?
"In general how long does the average trial period last?"
The average trial period from my experiences can be from 2 weeks, all the way to 2 months. I'd say any further than that you'd probably be removed from a trial if you've not already shown that you're ready to become Full MS.
"If you don't know everything considering the market, but know decently a good amount, will you learn along the way of becoming a full member?"
Of course you would, and you'd best learn it as fast as possible to make sure you do make it to full but Msquad members are usually fairly helpful when training. (from my experience and me training some people)
"are there any common things that happen a decent amount we should be aware of when moderating?"
From my experience as MSquad the most common infractions I gave out were for "Useless posts" that don't actually involve the buying or selling of items happen a bit, as well as the rule that you're not allowed to try and sell something on the forum if it's not in your inventory (items on the market are not considered as in your inventory, and therefore can't be sold on a thread until removed from the market).
For the flame section, it's usually people not including screenshots or not including everything that is "required" by the market rules when creating a flame thread. Same goes with Art threads, people tend to leave out something that is required for the thread to be "allowed".
In your honest opinions how active would said applicants need to be in order to have decent chances?
You should probably make yourself available every day possible by being on the IRC channel, or checking your PMs every day.
Also, you should be fairly active on the forum. Whether that be just to check your PM box, Ban Appeals, Scam Reports, Reports, etc.
Considering they are recruiting, most of their members at the moment aren't as active as they'd like them so key thing.
TL: DR be more active than the inactiveish MSquad members already in place.
Those are my answers to your questions and I hope that kinda gives you some perspective and answers to some questions you had.
EDIT: AND I GOT NINJA'D
