I am including this note not solely directed towards you, but for the benefit of all.

What Michael said....  And the cutoff date for applicants was over a month ago.... And you don't meet the basic qualifications. 

While I do hope you will someday be a fine ATM candidate, note that these are serious roles with a serious time commitment, and a demonstrated positive track record within VATUSA and on the network is necessary for consideration, as are generally positions with increasingly higher responsibility.  These positions aren't just for fun, nor for resume building and belt-notching.  You've been a member of VATSIM for slightly more than a month and do not yet hold any student ratings....  Again, good on you for taking the initiative, and I encourage you to study, train, obtain the required controller experience and have a good go at other staff positions as well before considering becoming the leader of an entire ARTCC.

Now, this one is squarely for you.  I can guarantee you that if you continue to violate the Code of Conduct, you'll not be allowed to spell ATM around here, never mind be one.  Stop making duplicate accounts.  Now!
