Administrators are responsible for resolving conflicts, developing events and running general server maintenance. Ingame, they wield the power of an SA.
The first step for administrators, essentially being watched and tested to see if they are suitable to be a basic administrator. This testing period can last anywhere from 1 week to several months depending on the candidate. These admins have basic powers ingame.
Message to the administrators, 3/20/2012
In hope to learn of our own mistakes, and change with a flowing tide, we are happy to finally announce (though late) our shift of system from one of split base, restriction, and a lack of trust to that of which a mutual relationship is found upon - to where all admins are trusted with the ability of sense and logic, and in return those who fail at this are removed and striped of there positions, as is needed, and when needed.
All admins will now have Super Admin ingame, and will be able to host use there powers in order to fulfill the everlasting goal of acting as GMs, alongside peacekeepers. You are the keepers of HL2, those who have the power to shift events and maintain a story. While the RDA team will still need to authorize any major plot changes, you all have the tools in your hands to push smaller plots, to push events, to create stories, and to inspire roleplay for the community.
Yet in this, a few changes and many reminders are to be noted. Admins who are LOA for an extended period (we hope you take breaks, but this means for a point that is to long) but are visibly able to maintain activity elsewhere, be it another game or another server will be removed by an RDA vote. This will begin to happen (and is, with activity warnings now coming out). rpa_youtube is now isRDA, because of abuse. A general music command exists, but has TRP tracks. Someone is already working on this to fix it, and this command will be free-use.
As well as all of this, the period of TAship is now longer, and will be once again put up to a private admin team vote, rather then an RDA-only vote. I'll explain this when the time is right.
As is our last choice: Aftershock leaves the administration team, therefore the decision doesn't matter.
Oh, by the way, Arzalis to TA.
fol: congratz 2 everyone!
