While you guys are at it, why don't you just tell him you think he's incompetent? He made a mistake and should be respectively corrected.
First of all, this is the "Introduce yourself/Say Goodbye" section, so your thread is completely irrelevant here and will be locked. Second of all, you don't ask for a rank; you earn a rank.
The first rank on most of Blocktopia's servers is Trusted. A few of the requirements includes being helpful, active, and mature on the server you want to be Trusted on. On some servers, there is also an amount of time ('x' amount of hours) of gameplay requirement for Trusted. You also need references from staff members on that server, but that's only if you have met all of the other requirements for that server. To get references, you politely ask staff members to reference you on your Trusted application.
If you have anymore questions about ranks and/or rank requirements, feel free to ask the staff members (preferably through PMs and not through threads).
