Well yeah... Sending an application on your first day known to this site was probably the worst move you could have made.
Of course they're going to ignore you.
I would too. Unless they requested people send them in without being know at all.
I've been a moderator on a few sites (Leakforums - Xfinity - Deviation)
It's nice and all only due to the amount of respect you get, but it's a lot of work. Especially when you're moderating a population of 5K+.
Anyways, asking for a rank is probably the #1 no-no.
Just pisses the staff off honestly. Unless you were really deemed worth it.
Like I said bro, just go with the flow. Don't try. Trying gets you no-where. Just need to look up, and continue with things. Look for ways to improve yourself. In real life, or even over the interwebz.
Cheers.
