Question

Do you have to be with OpenStudy for a certain period of time, as a member with a subscription, or earn certain medals/honors to be able to apply for the Ambassador program?

Answer 1

Ambassadors are representatives of OpenStudy. We answer questions from new users. We welcome and greet users. It's our job to be the embodiment of OpenStudy's ideologies.
Before I go any further, there are strict requirements you must meet.
◘ Be thirteen or older
◘ Have a form of ID - excluding a birth certificate
◘ Have no serious offenses on your record
◘ If you have serious offenses, an additional process may be required
◘ Have read the Code of Conduct and Terms, and understand the rules
Do you meet these requirements? If so, then please read the next part of the process.
There are some key behaviors that Ambassadors must express
◘ As an Ambassador, you agree to always be kind and understanding
◘ As an Ambassador you should let users know you appreciate them
◘ Congratulate and award positive behavior, and discourage negative behavior
◘ Lead by example!
◘ Respect the staff - never talk ill of OpenStudy
◘ Never disclose personal information if shared with you
Do you feel like Ambassadorship is something you would want to do? Do you want a bright future with OpenStudy? Then become an Ambassador!

[NOTE: The application, or form, is often subject to change. A message will be posted in either the Ambassador Group or OpenStudy Feedback with details on how to submit an application]

Answer 2

The above are the basic requirements, the rest of the stuff you are asking would help but are not necessarily required per say.
For example, a user who has been active for 5 months would have a better chance of being chosen as an ambassador than someone who had only been active for a week.
Subscription removes ads and shows your support for the community, but is not bribery for such leadership positions.
Being active overall would help, not necessarily medal count, but the quality of help given and overall activeness is also considered when selecting ambassadors.
