We will split this up into several sections
1. Myths and Facts about applying for staff
2. Myths and Facts about paid ranks
3. Myths and Facts about YT rank
4. Myths and Facts about Leaderboards
5. Myths and Facts about Ban appeals
I will highlight some of the important ones in Blue
1. Myths and Facts about applying for staff
Myth 1: Applications are open/closed now.
Fact: No. Applications are accepted all year round and there is no specific time you have to apply to increase your chances
Myth 2: I havn't gotten a response. Am i not gonna be chosen?
Fact: If you havn't gotten a response it means they havn't decided yet
Myth 3: Giving a super good answer will get you a better chance
Fact: You should never give a cliched answer as that will make you seem insincere. Instead tell them straight from the heart. They're also human, they'll understand. Also, be sure to tell them what sets you apart from other candidates.
Myth 4: Suddenly doing a lot to help the server will increase your chances.
Fact: You'll seem more of a tryhard than an active person, staff also would like to see your contributions to the server in the long run, such that they can be assured that you'll be able to keep up the good work when you get the rank
Myth 5: Applying lowers my chances.
Fact: Admins are fine with you asking to be admin and that does not lower your chances at all. You're just clarifying things. However don't ask to immediately be a moderator.
Myth 6: Befriending the admins will increase your chances.
Fact: Technically No. The admins are aware of who befriends them and are wary of you, they will put personal bias aside when choosing, especially WarriorGirl3333
Tips: Most would say help out on the server and forums, report players and bugs, help the admins, but are there some things that could set you apart from the rest?
For instance you could update fellow players on new rules posted on the forums.
You can also do ban appeals for random people who you think are not guilty or the admins may have falsely banned the person with supporting evidence that they are not hacking.

Myths and Facts about paid ranks
Myth 1: Having a rank will mean staff cannot ban me
Fact: No, all players are treated fairly by staff, meaning there's no bias involved
Myth 2: I can buy more ranks once this expires
Fact: Yes, you can
Myth 3: Having a rank will make you more popular
Fact: Most of the time, however it does give you a big advantage in some kit games like Micro Battles and TSW
Where can I buy a rank?
Here: https://www.brlns.net/shop/
However you need a paypal account to get one
Myths and Facts on YT rank
Myth 1: I can't be banned with YT rank
Fact: As with all players staff can ban you
Myth 2: YT rank has perks
Fact: No, all it does is have the words YT, though it may get updated in the future.
Myth 3: Having YT rank means i can't buy other ranks
Fact: You still can buy some other rank like gold, diamond and emerald on the store
Myth 4: I can pretend to be someone else and use their channel for a YT tag
Fact: Staff always will catch you, just sooner or later
Myth 5: Can i get banned for advertising my channel on Brokenlens?
Fact: You can get banned for that, unless you have 1 or more videos on brokenlens.
Where can i apply for one when i have 100 subscribers or more?

Myth and Facts on Leaderboards
Myth 1: Being on the leaderboard means you can brag and bully
Fact: You are subject to the same rules as everyone else.
Myth 2: How often is the leaderboard updated
Fact: Based on my experience, the weekly leaderboard is updated every month or so.
Myth 3: Does leaderboards have any perks?
Fact: No, unfortunately not, it just puts your name up there.
Myth 4: If someone on the leaderboard gets banned, do i move up a spot?
Fact: No, sorry, their record still lasts but it may get updated in the future.
Myths and Facts on ban appeals:
Myth 1: I can play on a different account/ create another one to play on the server when i am banned
Fact: No, that's bypassing ban even if you don't hack this time.
Myth 2:I can get unbanned if the watcher permanent banned me
Fact: No, Very rarely someone gets unbanned. Sorry
Myth 3: Can my wifi get unbanned so my family can play
Fact: Yes, you can, however if someone else on that wifi hacks, you will not be given a second chance
Myth 4: Lying will get me unbanned
Fact: No, Admins are smarter than you think, they can tell whether it's a lie
Myth 5: Repeated asking will bug the admins so much that they will unban me
Fact: No, They'll just ignore
Myth 6: Cursing because an admin banned me will make everyone hate him until he unbans me
Fact: Good luck with that. High chance that he'll never consider your ban appeal ever again and just ban you from forums. You should always be polite in ban appeals.
Myth 7: I got rejected first time, goodbye brokenlens...
Fact: You could try again in a year, but still be sincere and sorry for your actions
