- To become a TMWT member, you need to gain in membership in the one of the following categories of contributors; Game Master,Server Admin, or Developer and must be approved by a majority of TMWT.

- If it is deemed appropriate, the length of the poll can be reduced to a minimum of 3 days or increased to a maximum of 14 days. Any TMW Team member can object to this in the poll's discussion thread, in which case the running time must revert to the standard 7 days.
### Membership
