I don't think this is relevant, to me that sounds like a mismanagement of the moderator rank, I assure you, if I have any influence, no one would *ever* get a permission their rank didn't entitle them to.

I believe the extreme support this has gotten from the community means it warrants a try, I will make clear to anyone who gets mod that if the experiment fails they will drop back to member.

Quote:That may have worked then but it's clear that the current system is falling apart. A noticeable amount of time the server only has 0-2 people on. The way to solve your issue would be to have clear guidelines on what admins and foremen have the permission to do or not do.

Quote:Another issue is the lack of communication between users and staff. In fact, even in the staff there is a divide between the staff who "run" the server/plugins (i.e. xeo, mort) and those who don't (greatgamer, DJ8X, etc.) I feel like much of the server/plugins staff see the users as completely unable to ever participate in the server running process.
