Hello everyone, The Board has been discussing possibly changing the names of our ranks for some time now. We have some ideas of our own that we'll be presenting below for you to comment on, but we'd also like for you guys to give us new ideas. You can disagree with a change, bring up an alternative, comment on a rank not stated here, etc. Now is the time to do it all. The name list we've come up with is as follows: President -> President Vice President -> Vice President Board of Directors -> Directors Internal Affairs -> Internal Affairs Administrative Manager -> Lead Manager Administrative Team - Server Manager Technical Manager -> Technical Manager Technical Team -> Technical Administrator Junior Technical Administrator -> Junior Technical Administrator Events Manager -> Lead Coordinator Events Team -> Event Coordinator Media Manager -> Lead Designer Media Team -> Designers Modding Manager -> Lead Mapper Modding Team -> Mapper Lead Advisor -> Lead Advisor Community Advisor -> Community Advisor Senior Administrator -> Senior Administrator Administrator -> Administrator Legend -> Legend Please feel free to comment on any of this - just stay on the topic of rank names and don't go off track onto something else.

The suggestion for this (when it came up at the CA level) was much more than just a simple change. It was suggested that it should change somewhat frequently, with the possible addition of a credit multiplier on the featured server. (CA+ correct me if I’m wrong on the details) It was definitely more than a simple quick switch though. We can definitely switch it right now, there’s just no rhyme or reason to switch it to anything else currently. Actually, it sort of makes sense that it’s ZE currently, given what state it’s in. Nonetheless, if we go through with the more complex idea (which I like personally) it’d be waiting until the new forums. Going to lock this.

Light7 (or just Light) has been permanently banned. Not only does he have 4 bans prior to his recent unban, he also earned himself another infraction on top of those recently, which has also gone on his record. Additionally, he expressed his interest in another community in Shoutbox.. ..so we sent him back.

Hello everyone, We have some promotions to announce today, but first we want to send someone off. Wawa is no longer a member of the Board of Directors.

Thanks for all the work you did here, it didn't go unnoticed. Good luck with everything moving forward.

This has been applied, as per this post.

Congrats on the promotions everyone, really looking forward to working with you all! Thanks for everything Spiritwind, it's truly appreciated.

This is not something we plan on doing. fantastic's post sums up the reasoning nicely. Thanks for the suggestion though.

@nick please stop making useless suggestions, thank you.

Just going to mark this as rejected because we aren't gonna put any time into changing these forums. Thanks for the suggestion though.

It doesn't need to be consecutive.

Hello everyone, Today we are making admin complaints public in the interest of transparency. The higher ups have discussed this and decided there's no real reason to keep them private anymore. However, the complaints you now have access to only date back about 6 months. This is because there may be information in older complaints that shouldn't be public. From now on, all new complaints that get made will be public. This does not mean you guys will be able to post in them though, that will still be restricted to anyone who is Admin or above and the person who posted the complaint. This leads us into another change regarding admin complaints. For quite a while now, we've had a policy in place regarding banned players making admin complaints, this policy stated: This has been removed entirely. It doesn't make much sense at all because we recognize that someone may think their ban is justified, but may think the admin handled it incorrectly. We will not instantly reject a complaint because someone is banned. In any case, we will listen to what you have to say about our admins and will act on it as we see fit. Lastly, we've removed the [Noproof] and [Expired] tags from their respective sections. The [Noproof] tag was just useless, but the [Expired] tag wasn't right for us to use. If someone appeals their ban and their ban expires, we will continue to review the ban to determine if it was unjust, as opposed to just slapping this tag on it and closing it. A ban could be 3 hours, 3 days, 3 weeks, etc. but if the higher ups take too long to review it to the point that it expires, we will no longer push it to the side. We believe these three changes are steps in the right direction.

You were a really great staff member, really sucks to see you go. Like I said in Steam PMs, thank you for all the work you did here, it's truly appreciated. Best of luck in your future endeavors.

hoes when they see this thread
