I personally believe that the RC is a tool for all staff members, not just for developers. That's why if i were to hire an Events Team Member, i would give him/her an RC. Also my ideal staff member to hire is one of much maturity. I and alot of others know it's annoying when you've got someone spamming the RC chat, and overall just activing stupid and childish.

So yes, i believe non-development staff members should be given an RC for discussion, since they are part of the "staff team". As i said before, the fact that someone is immature does cause many Managers and Admins to reconsider the ammount of RCs given so that the chat doesnt become a spam fest. Overall, it is up to the Management of that server.
