Tyhm has a spectacular aura about
Things would be helped considerably if the website was updated, or at least updatable. I mean, it still says for people to submit .gifs with their levels, and to email NPCWs directly to Olorin basically. =_=

We have a structure. Nobody understands it, and nobody follows it. Until that changes, we can't really expect to get anything done.

The structure as I understand it is as follows
1) Owners/GMs: Stefan - coder, Unixmad - server
2) Asst. GM's: Nemesis - Classic tab, Ibonic - Gold tab, Galen - forum?
3) PW "Owners" (since PW Managers/PW Admins tends to refer to the reviewers)
4) PW's admins (GP Admin, Police Chief, LAT Admin, FAQ Admin, etc.)
5) PW Staff (GP, FAQ, LAT)

If you have a problem with a 5, report it to their 4 - ie tell Chronos if Soul is abusing his GP priveleges, and tell Tyhm if Soul is abusing his reviewer priveleges - not that Soul would, but he's a good cross-staff example.
If you have a problem with a 4 (such as they blew off your report or acknowledged it and laughed at you or something), report it to their 3. If Chronos gave you a wedgie for tattling on his best friend, you come to me.
If you have a problem with a 3 (which really shouldn't happen), you proceed to their 2. If a Gold admin messes with you, tell Ibonic. If a Classic server (not just Graal Classic, any non-subscription PW) owner messes with you, you tell Nem.
In the catastrophic event that a 2 is being abusive (and assuming you didn't skip a few steps - you can't expect Nemesis to give a crap about every GP on galbadia, nor know their names and emails), then and only then do you nag an owner about it.

That's always been my understanding. This way, every admin has to watch over at most like 30 sub-admins. You don't get the crossover trouble that we usually get, such as Lycia crowning herself Queen of the FAQs because two GMs thought it was the other one who approved it, you don't get the uber admins meddling with things they don't understand such as the famous...well, I won't name names, but some of us remember Stefan giving promotions to people who had a lot to learn about PR...it's a simple and effective system, but it needs a framework before we can realistically expect anyone to follow it.
