# Asking for Positions Do not ask for staff roles, department ranks, or special positions. All roles are earned through merit, activity, and proper conduct, not by requesting them. Repeatedly asking for positions can be seen as disrespectful and may negatively affect your chances of being considered. Show your commitment through positive behavior, consistent participation, and engagement with the community. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://home.statesofcaliforniarp.com/discord-rules/asking-for-positions.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
