I think that trails should be less about current redstone skill and more of how much someone wants to learn redstone. Now of course there are some min requirements but they should be a lot more general. Trials in general should be about seeing if someone is mature enough and seeing how much they want to learn redstone at a more complicated level. I actually propose a radically new idea for trials that I think should solve a lot of issues.
Step 1: User creates application and it gets accepted/denied much like it is now (all though with requirements changed and new fields such as "what do you want to learn");
Step 2: User gets accepted and instead of a 1 hour trial they get there own plot on a different world and this plot would say be 128x128. All other plots in that world that other users currently have would be protected to stop potential greifing. The user would build with out world edit in this world for sometime until it came to a vote on the forums to accept him as a full member. This would not only make applying and then start building once its accepted fast but also this is where we could put our regulations in place for how good someone should be to get the full member ship (yes this is kinda like a rank system based on skill but its community decided not admin decided and its only two ranks). This would remove trials and give a way for someone to build with the community and have fun while not currently having the required knowledge to be in the main world.
Step 3: After awhile a poll would get posted on the forums where only full members and staff could see/vote and we would debate to make this person a full member based on their skill, willingness to learn, and maturity.
I think this system would not only make the application and "trial" process faster but also if a user is not quite ready to join the full build server instead of cutting them off the the school server they get put into the Testificate or what ever you want to call it world and get to build with the community and everybody is happy.
Visitor: Current rank for someone who didn't make an application and just joined the server.
Testificate: Current rank for someone who is in the "trial" world.
Member: Full member ship and a person with this rank is trustworthy and active
Moderator: A member who is mature and can oversea applications and accept/deny them but has nothing to do with running the server.
Staff: Current staff rank
