The general consensus is that development staff wear their corresponding tags (LAT, GAT, NAT, etc), so that people know who to contact. What good is contacting a GAT, when there's something wrong with your inventory? Personally, I think PR staff are pointless. If the staff member doesn't get an RC, then the position they're in is otiose. All PR staff ever do is forward a message to the corresponding department (got a problem with a player?: forwarded to GPs; inventory screwed up?: forwarded to NATs; level not loading correctly?: forwarded to LATs; somebody stole your personal body?: forwarded to GATs). Essentially, all that's left for them to do is answer questions regarding the use of the server, which wouldn't be needed at all if you provide a decent tutorial.

Departmentalizing (meaning, you have heads of departments that run the show) is essential to most servers, especially large servers. The manager deals with the huge issues and schedules, and the department heads deal with all the technical stuff. On Valikorlia, a department head as always been the person to hire staff; the manager just gets the final say-so. Consequently, department heads also do the firing.

You can run your server like this, but I'll run mine how I like to (not that I run a server, but still). But, I definitely think that it's important that development staff have their tags on all the time, and that PR are useless.
