Ranger Posted April 5, 2023 Report Posted April 5, 2023 What is the Content Creator Program? The content creator program is a small program created with guidance from some of our most active content creators who are a part of the community. The purpose of this program is to give back to our creators who help promote the community with their content. How do we give back? More info can be seen in the following sections. Keep in mind that you do not need to be a part of the CCP to stream Eclipse! What's expected of me activity-wise as a creator if I were to be accepted? Barely anything! The main thing that we expect is a basic general activity level from each creator, whether you stream on Twitch/YouTube or create a video series on YouTube. When it comes down to what the expectations are, we just expect creators to be active in general. Aside from general activity expectations, there are other expectations such as how you carry yourself as a creator behavior-wise, this is covered in a later section. Why is there an activity expectation? Read the next section to learn about the perks that can be granted for being a part of the program! What perks do I get if accepted? When do I receive them? As mentioned above, the purpose of this program is to offer more for being a creator within Eclipse by offering some perks and rewards that we believe will help create more engagement for the creator such as hosting Eclipse-sponsored credit giveaways on their streams/videos, and access to the Twitch promotion bot in the ECRP Discord which we believe will bring more attention to creators. A few of the perks can be seen below; Access to a Discord channel dedicated to content creators Access to post/promote in the #media channel on the ECRP Discord VIP Perks (Gold Tier) Auto-promotion on the member's list Auto-promotion via the Twitch bot After a successful application, creators will be issued roles on the ECLIPSE Discord server and perks will be put in place. Are there any other expectations? As stated previously, the main expectation is just the general activity expectations. Aside from that we also want to ensure that creators that are a part of this program hold a positive mindset when streaming or creating content and ensure that their platform remains positive and healthy. What does this mean? Essentially, we believe that whilst creating content you have the freedom to express yourself as a unique individual, but being a part of this program means that you are picking up a small responsibility as being a representative of the community, so with that, we expect that opinions on things that may not be to your liking stay level-headed and that there is no slander, harassment, or obscene words said about the server or member(s) of the community - this also goes for comments made on your platform (e.g. your stream chat). This does not mean that you cannot hold an opinion on things you may not like, it just means that if you are sharing this opinion on a creator platform we ask that you do it respectfully. We are not here to moderate your content and watch your every move, but we just ask that you stay respectful and hold basic moderation on your platform when being promoted by ECLIPSE! What type of content do you look for? We believe that all creators have the capabilities to create unique content depending on their style of roleplay, but overall the content we look for is content that promotes the server in various ways such as day-to-day RP encounters, LEO/Crim streams/videos, etc. With what we look for being listed, there are different types of content that we do not believe promotes a roleplay environment, and would be invalid to join the program such as (but not limited to); Mainly PvP-oriented content, or PvP>RP content. PvP is not frowned upon in the grand scheme of things, but when content is centered around shooting and primarily PvP, we do not consider this "promotional" content for a roleplay server. It is important to note that we also consider graphical settings with this point as well e.g. no shadows, purposefully lowered settings, etc; you do not need lowered graphics to provide roleplay through your content. "Troll" videos where the main premise of the content is trolling on the server. "Clip content" where the premise of the content is just posting clips. We aim to promote meaningful content, not a YouTube channel with clips being posted to it. If you aim to share clips of your gameplay, we prefer that you post those clips in our media channel (#fashion) in the ECLIPSE Discord. How do I join? Before filling in the application, please keep in mind that the CCT has bare minimum requirements that are expected from applicants such as; Pre-existing content such as prior videos or streams When reviewing applications, the CCT wants to make sure that there is pre-existing content that can be reviewed alongside the application. If an applicant has little/no content, it makes it harder for the CCT to review properly which may result in denial. It should be understood that the Content Creator Program is mainly looking for those who already have a proven content-creation background in the sense that the program is not meant for people to start making content, it's meant for those who already create content and those who have created content on ECLIPSE in the past. Don't let that shy you away from starting to make content and apply to join at a later date! If you just started making videos or just started streaming, you may be denied. Good standing within the community As mentioned above, we are not here to monitor what happens on stream, but we want to ensure that applicants are upstanding members of the community and do not have multiple or repeat punishments for OOC Behavior/Toxicity/etc. A base understanding of how the server works and a minimum of 15,000 exp on any character Whilst promoting the server via content creation, we want to ensure that creators understand how the server works and the rules surrounding the RP environment we have set in place. When creating content, you are expected to understand the ECRP server rules. If you have a history of rulebreaks or are seen to display rulebreaks on your content, you may be denied. If past RP experience is shown then the CCT may deviate from the exp requirement. Actively playing on the server With this program, we want to ensure that everyone who joins the program actively plays on the server. This does not mean that ECRP needs to be the only server that a creator plays on, but it is expected that the creator(s) are actively a part of the community. Joining the program is as simple as filling out a short Google Form so the Content Creator Team can review it and learn a bit more about you as a creator and learn more about what type of content you create, what platform you create content on, and what your activity is like. The link to the Google form can be found here. Once your application has been submitted the Content Creator Team (CCT) will review it and reach out to applicants once they are reviewed. The application for the Content Creator Program will always be open to ensure that even creators who are new to the community get a chance to take part. 4 1 4
